Juneau's proposed city budget balances increased costs with higher tax revenue. Now, Assembly members will spend the next several weeks deciding how much property tax to collect through the mill rate.
“Sure, we’re dropping the mill rate to the lowest level it’s been in decades,” Assembly member Greg Smith said. “Some people will still see very significant increases on their tax.”
“If you’re taking on a recurring cost that we should expect indefinitely, we would encourage you to set a mill rate that pays for that cost but doesn’t take in any unnecessary revenue either,” he told the Assembly. “We are spending more property tax on the Juneau School District than we are spending on everything else that CBJ does in its general government,” he said. “More than half of the non-debt property tax is paying for schools.”
Watt is also proposing a few one-time expenditures. They include $10 million toward building a new City Hall and $2 million toward upgrading the police department’s radio system.
