Gainesville City Council will hold second readings today to roll back the property tax rate and set the water rate. Council previously voted to slightly reduce the tax rate to $3.02 per $1,000 of taxable property, while also voting to keep the water rate unchanged in 2015. However, the council has approved raising the account service fee on water bills to offset the loss of revenue.
