Updated at 9:30 to reflect the correct tax rate proposal. Changes in bold.

The Chesterfield City Council will hold a public hearing at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday Sept. 5, for  citizens to discuss real estate and personal property tax rate to be set to repay principal and interest on general obligation bonds for parks.

According to the City of Chesterfield’s website, the amount of revenue to be provided for the repayment of general obligation bonds for parks is $512,699.

The city is proposing to mantain the current tax rate of 3 cents per $100 assessed valuation.
