SPRINGFIELD – Following two meetings, the City Council approved $6.5 million in relief for the fiscal year 2023 (FY23) tax levy and set an FY23 tax rate of $17.05 per $1,000 of value of residential properties and $36.40 for commercial, industrial and personal (CIP) properties.
Councilors were upset over how the newly formed police commission has been implemented so far. It was discussed during a special meeting Wednesday night.
