The Sewanee Community Council will meet at 7 p.m., Monday, Aug. 25, when members will consider a motion to adjust the municipal fee paid by leaseholders and how to allocate the funds collected. They will also consider a motion to change the group’s constitution.
At the June 30 meeting, the Sewanee Community Council approved increasing the municipal service fee paid by all leaseholders to generate $10,000 to $20,000 in funds to be used by the Community Council for municipal improvements. The fee increase is for a trial two-year period.
The fee increase would be based on home value according to the Franklin County tax assessment. For example, to generate $10,000 of revenue, the owner of a home valued at $300,000 would see a fee increase of $56, said John Swallow, provost of the University, at the June 30 meeting. The average leasehold fee increase would be $22 annually.
Community Council meetings are open to the public; questions and comments from guests are welcome.
