Columbia school board OKs final proposed 2024-25 budget | Community News | lancasteronline.com
When: Columbia school board meeting, May 16.
What happened: The board approved the final proposed budget of $32.4 million for the 2024-25 year, an increase of $165,940 from last year, marking Columbia Borough’s fifth consecutive year without increasing the property tax.
How to calculate your tax: The district’s millage rate will remain unchanged at 26.46. One mill is equal to $1 in property tax for every $1,000 of assessed value. To calculate your tax burden, multiply the millage rate by the number of thousands of the assessed value of your property. For example, a homeowner with a property assessed at $100,000 would pay $2,646 annually.

[LNP | LancasterOnline] Columbia Sunshine Act investigation closes, raising questions about open meetings law [Lancaster Watchdog]
So when the borough’s historic architectural review board, planning commission and zoning hearing board neglected to post a few agendas before scheduled meetings in November, [Joe] Lintner noticed. The state’s transparency and open meetings law, the Sunshine Act, requires agendas to be posted 24 hours in advance of a meeting so residents know what to expect.
It didn’t take long for Lintner to call the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office to report what he believed was a Sunshine Act violation. The borough promises transparency, he said, and it did not feel like leaders were delivering.
