The district presented that it does not intend to increase the current millage rate of 17.331 mills, explaining the tax calculation process and the impact of property value changes on tax bills. Public comments focused on concerns about potential tax increases, requests for transparency and accountability in spending, and inquiries about efforts to reduce costs or increase alternative revenue sources such as grants or property leasing. No motions to change the millage rate were made, and the hearing was closed following public input.
