She said in the release that this levy will be on the Nov. 7 ballot to restore its previously voter-approved tax levy rate of $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation in 2017.

The 2018 levy amount would be the based on which annual increase of up to 6% (but not exceed the $1.50 rate) would be computed for the succeeding five years (2019-2023), according to Lee-Rice in the release.
