His understanding is that the proposed Ordinance that relates to this Public Hearing would be an Ordinance that allows Council the option to either adopt that $15,000 increase, or not to do adopt it, and additionally consider going back and picking up capacity that we have turned away in the past based on prior votes. ' Mayor Lacy opened the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. Mayor Lacy referred to the one comment made during Public Comments by Brett Telford regarding his agreement of a 1% tax increase on property tax.
