The Mesa City Council on Wednesday approved a multimillion dollar amount and the rate to be levied on the November 2008 voter-approved secondary property tax. For fiscal year 2009-10, Mesa plans to raise $14.1 million. The money collected would go toward paying for police and fire capital projects as well as street improvement projects.
For every $100,000 in assessed property valuation, Mesa property owners can expect to pay $29.77. This rate also includes 2 1/2 cents, which would help pay for cost of operations of Fire Station 219. Construction for that station near Elliot and Signal Butte roads is scheduled to begin in September.
