The city-parish set a public hearing today for Wednesday, July 25, at which the Metro Council will consider levying increased millage rates for six taxing districts: Baton Rouge Municipal Fire Salaries & Benefits, Alsen Fire Protection District No. 9, Brownsfield Fire Protection District No. 3, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Protection District No. 1, and Pride Fire Protection District No. 8. The total tax revenue netted next year from the increased millages would be $790,521, the city-parish estimates. That’s about a 3.5% increase from the roughly $22.5 million annually collected by the six districts present. The public will have a chance to weigh in on the millage hikes before the Metro Council votes on them at the July 25 public hearing, which will be held on the third floor of City Hall, 222 St. Louis St., at 4 p.m.
