The Highland Heights City Council met on September 2, 2025, beginning with a public hearing on the 2025–2026 property tax rate. No residents attended, but council and staff discussed keeping the real property tax rate at $1.47 per $1,000 (the compensating rate plus 4%), the same as the prior year, noting it would maintain revenue stability while keeping rates among the lowest in Northern Kentucky. During the regular meeting, council also approved an ordinance raising the city’s occupational license fee from 1% to 1.5% starting in 2026 to fund future projects and improvements. Discussion followed on the new medians along Alexandria Way, with concerns raised about safety, visibility, and design, though officials recommended finishing the project, adding landscaping and lighting, and monitoring public feedback. Additional reports covered police enforcement around NKU’s return to session, property maintenance abatements, public works updates including sidewalk repairs and crack sealing, and upcoming fall events. Citizens also voiced feedback on the Alexandria Way medians, suggesting better visibility measures. Disclaimer: This summary was generated using AI based on the meeting transcript.
