Tuesday's called board meeting for the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, was significantly shorter than the previous week's two-and-a-half hour meeting, with Ordinances 1705, 1706 and 1707 all passing on their seconding reading without substantial opposition. Final approval of Ordinance 1705 will set the city's tax rate at $1.33 for each $100 of taxable property, real and personal within the corporate limits of the City of Covington, and monies collected will be used for the General Fund.
