In December 2005, the Ramsey HRA/City Council adopted the 2006 HRA budget and <br />HRA levy, in the amount of $271,339. The levy was to be used to fund such expenses as <br />personnel, consulting services and property acquisitions. Ms. Lund advised for budget year <br />2007, the maximum HRA levy is again being requested. This amount would be $312,443, which <br />is the statutory maximum levy rate (0.144 of the City's total taxable market value of <br />$2,169,745,200) and would again be used to fund personnel, consulting and property <br />acquisitions. An example of the effect on a property taxpayer with a market value of $200,000 <br />would be $28.80. <br /> <br />Commissioner Elvig inquired if there is a listing of where the funds are being placed. <br /> <br />Finance Officer Lund replied the fund is being built at this point. <br /> <br />Commissioner Elvig asked what the projected amount is for the end of 2006 above and beyond <br />the HRA's costs. <br /> <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / August 22, 2006 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
