The Cleveland City Council, with scant public notice, voted 4-2 on first reading on Monday afternoon to approve one of the largest property tax increases in the city’s history.
Richard Banks, Bill Estes, Tom Cassada and Vice Mayor Avery Johnson voted for a 46-cent property tax boost.
Opposed were Charlie McKenzie and David May.
Dale Hughes and Mayor Tom Rowland were absent due to illness. The mayor is not a voting member of the council, but he can veto actions.
The final vote is expected in August.

Gas prices in Southeast Tennessee jumped last week by the biggest amount in months, pushing Chattanooga and Cleveland, Tenn., out of the list of cheapest cities in the country to refuel your car or truck.
Average retail gasoline prices in Chattanooga rose 7.8 cents per gallon in the past week to hit $2 a gallon on Sunday, according to the online fuel price web site GasBuddy, which surveys 170 gas outlets in Chattanooga every day. In neighboring Cleveland, prices jumped by more than 12 cents a gallon to $1.99 for regular gas, GasBuddy.com said.
Although local gas prices remained 27 cents below the U.S. average of $2.27 per gallon, local fuel prices rose much more steeply last week that the average 2.1-cents-per-gallon increase nationwide.
Including the change in gas prices in Chattanooga during the past week, prices Sunday in Chattanooga were 22.3 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 9.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago.
Some of the higher prices this month in Tennessee is due to the state’s higher fuel tax, which added 4 cents a gallon to the price of gas on July 1.
