Going into Tuesday’s budget hearing, Statesboro city officials intend to leave the property tax millage rate unchanged but are proposing to increase water and sewer fees and charge a new fee when people pay their bills by credit card. The 10 a.m. public hearing on the proposed fiscal year 2017 budget is slated to follow Tuesday’s regular 9 a.m. City Council meeting at City Hall. The city’s proposed general fund for the budget year beginning July 1 has revenues and expenditures balanced at a little over $14.55 million, increasing from a little less than $14.1 million in the current year.
