There will be no millage rate increase for Springfield property owners, after city council members approved a long-debated fire fees plan. In a special called meeting Friday morning, council members adopted new fire fees, with residences paying $60 a year, commercial properties paying 2 cents per square foot with a minimum charge of $150 a year and tax-exempt properties being charged 3 cents per square foot, with a minimum of $150 a year. The new slate of fees are projected to bring in $103,788.87, said City Manager Brett Bennett.
