DUNEDIN — Big projects, economic woes and other challenges dominated a recent budget discussion by the City Commission, and it now appears the city tax rate won’t change in the coming fiscal year.
But Mayor Julie Ward Bujalski commented during the lengthy July 22 budget workshop that she didn’t want to decide the matter until the city gets a better sense on what’s happening economically.
Were the tax rate to be cut, the city would “still need to be able to support our own services,” Bujalksi said. “Given that we don’t know what’s happening out there, I’m not prepared to make that decision.”
