As demonstrated by the chart below, public safety typically accounts for the majority of the General Fund expenditures. 2001 PROPOSED GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES Although the City continually tries to find innovative ways to increase revenues without increasing property taxes, property tax revenue continues to be the major source of General Fund revenue. Intergovernmental Revenues (state and federal aids) have continued to decrease and currently account for less than 21 percent of the General Fund revenues. 2001 PROJECTED GENERAL FUND REVENUES Public hearings on the proposed 2001 Tax Levy and General Fund Budget will be held in December. The first hearing is scheduled for Monday, December 4, 2000, at 6:00 p.m. at the Municipal Center. The public is invited to attend, as this is your opportunity to share comments on the tax levy and budget with the Mayor and City Council. If necessary, Monday, December 11,2000, at 6:00 p.m., has been scheduled for a reconvening of the public hearing. Based on the comments received at these public hearings, the Council will adopt the final 200 1 Tax Levy and General Fund Budget at a subsequent Council meeting before the end of the year. 2001 CITY OF RAMSEY Y OUR PROPERTY TAX DOLLAR - - - - Today is the yesterday you worried about tomorrow. - Anonymous
