The city council voted Monday night to use part of the fiscal 2008 school surplus to reduce taxes and not to return any of the money to the school department.

The council was unanimous on using $225,000 of the $717,179 surplus to keep the tax rate at the current rate of $30.07 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation.
