The longtime resident was sworn in Monday night at City Hall.

New Baltimore officials appointed longtime resident John Dupray to a vacant city council seat. Follow us on Facebook Dupray, an active community volunteer and former councilman, applied for the opening left by Zack Stanton.

I don't think he should have been appointed again. Give others a …   more ›

New Baltimore to Hold Public Hearing on Tax Proposal

The hearing will take place at 6:45 p.m. Monday, June 11, at City Hall in New Baltimore.

A public hearing regarding the property tax increase proposal is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Monday at City Hall in New Baltimore. Under the budget proposal, taxes will rise by .273 from the 2011 millage of 14.94, meaning households with taxable values of $100,000 will have annual payments of $4,174. That tax rate would be divided into the winter and summer tax bills, with more charged in the summer than in winter. It also factors in the recently passed Anchor Bay Schools tax for the aquatic center, according to the city. The hearing will be held immediately before the New Baltimore City Council considers adopting the proposed 2012-13 budget. It does not require a public vote because residents previously approved those bond rates, Treasurer …
