The Marietta City Council is expected to vote Wednesday on whether to approve a new budget that calls for lower taxes, no service reductions and no fee increases.
This recommended budget for Fiscal Year 2017 will last July 1 to June 30, 2017.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Marietta City Hall Council Chamber, lobby level, 205 Lawrence St.
The city’s millage rate, currently 2.788 mills, is expected to remain the same.
However, the bond millage rate is proposed to decrease by 0.429 mills to lower the overall tax bill.
The city’s proposed budget is $322.9 million, including $53.7 million for the general fund budget.
The general fund budget covers general government services, including police, fire, parks, recreation, code enforcement, planning, development, streets and public works maintenance.
