Neodesha thanks a valuable city employee.

 The Neodesha City Commission met yesterday and among items discussed by commissioners was the work of City Administrator Ed Truelove, who has served in his postion since 2015 and is now leaving to pursue another opportunity. Mayor Devin Johnson, Commissioner JD Moffat, and Commissioner Emily Vail-Keller expressed their gratitude for Truelove's work over the years.

In city business, the commission heard citizen comments regarding raising the revenue neutral rate. Truelove says, that while no one likes to pay taxes, they are needed to run a functioning city. He says the previous mill levy was too low due to human error and that it needs to be raised.

After a lengthy public comment period, the commission voted to exceed the revenue neutral rate and approved the 2023-2024 city budget.
