• Mayor Moss called for a discussion: There was an email submitted that is included as an attachment to the minutes. Mayor Pro Tem Young stated that she had tasked the City Administrator to try to find a way to fund the public safety departments without raising taxes. In discussions with him the only way to achieve this is to reduce the I&S tax rate which would mean there would be no funds to do projects like roads, therefore; she supports the proposed tax rate. There was no further discussion.
