Mr. Jankowski inquired what the maximum levy would be. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that it makes the tax statements accurate. If Council wants to cut <br />anything, it will lower that tax amount. It is a 6.87 percent increase based on the maximum <br />tax levy. We originally requested 4.5 percent which would be 3.78 percent in City taxes <br />with no value increase. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloncy stated if we went to thc Council with our recommendations earlier, 4.5 <br />percent, and then come back with the maximum request - what will happen to us next year? <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated we present the recommendation to Council and say "if you want to <br />cut thc tax rate, go ahead, and this is how you do it". <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney stated "I do not think we are doing our job. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated there are items that made thc budget go up so much such as thc squads <br />coming in more expensive and the fact that we cannot rent out that building. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney stated Staff said we felt comfortable with the 4.5 number, but there can't be <br />a $40,000 difference that's just the squad and the lease. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart replied yes. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that the lease was $39,000 revenue and the squads came in a <br />difference of $15,777 overall. If Council wants to get back down to the 4.5 percent <br />number, here's the way to do it, but if comfortable with 6.6 percent number, then fine - the <br />budget balances. I am comfortable with it because it leaves it in their hands. We have <br />figured out a way to deal with it. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Staff Budget Meeting/November 22, 1994 <br /> Page $ of $ <br /> <br /> <br />
