Your City Council and I gathered for a special session on Monday afternoon, and I’m pleased to share a few of the highlights with you. These decisions reflect our continued focus on fiscal responsibility, strong community events, and encouraging participation in local government.
- Budget Approved – Council adopted the budget for Fiscal Year running October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026
- Tax Rate Reduced – The total property tax rate was lowered from $0.0936 to $0.092 per $100 taxable value, underscoring our commitment to efficiency while continuing to provide steady, high-quality services to residents of The Hills.
- Hills City Limits Budget Approved – This signature event for Village of The Hills will account for more than half of the Parks & Recreation annual event budget, so we hope you’ll come out and enjoy the festivities this Sunday. It is going to be incredible!
- New Councilmember Appointed – Brittany Mycoskie was appointed to the open council seat and will serve until November 2026 election. We thank all of the outstanding candidates who applied and encourage everyone to remain engaged in the work of local government.
Local government is where you see and experience those results every day. It’s the safety of our streets, lively community events and strong fiscal stewardship of your hard earned tax dollars. Thank you for continuing to stay connected, supportive of our efforts and for helping make The Hills such a wonderful place to call home.
Mayor Kevin Proud
