• ‘Gesture of goodwill' - Avondale commission lowers millage (decaturish.com) — Avondale Estates residents will see a small break on property taxes after the city commission voted 4-1 to lower the millage rate from 9.55 to 9.3. Officials framed the move as modest relief amid rising costs, while one commissioner warned about funding future capital projects. The commission also set next year’s stormwater and sanitation fees, with sanitation rising slightly.
