WM taxes will rise this year

By EDWIN KNIGHT Staff Writer City of West Miami property owners will pay more in city taxes in the budget year beginning Oct. 1, but services will change little, if any. This is the essence of the city's proposed budget, which was presented to the West Miami council last Wednesday night. "It's a skimpy budget," said Mayor Edmund Cooper, "very lean. We are giving small raises to city employes and there is nothing for capital improvements." The city has set next Wednesday, Aug. 25, as the date for a public hearing on the budget, but Mayor Cooper doesn't believe there will be many in attendance at the hearing. Cooper said a recent survey of West Miamians showed that the citizenry wants the same level of services and is willing to pay for them. "But the survey also showed that they don't want additional taxes for frills and capital improvements that are not necessary," the mayor added. The millage rate, the medium through which property taxes are generated into dollars to meet needed revenue, will go from this year's 6.009 to 7.5 mills in the coming budget year. This means that West Miami property owners will pay $7.50 per each $1,000 of assessed property, as compared to $6 for the current budget. Because of the planned tax increase, two additional public hearings will be required before the city's council passes the millage ordinance next month. But the mayor reported that the dates for the millage ordinance public hearings haven't been set. Cooper credits the proposed tax increase to the spending in the current budget of a surplus of $112,000, skyrocketing costs of all forms of insurance and raises for city employes.
