4) Consider Revision of Snow Removal and Ice Control Policy <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski reported that this case was tabled due to lack of time for discussion. <br /> <br />Case #6: Report from Finance Committee <br /> <br />1) Adopt Resolution Approving Proposed Maximum 1998 Payable Tax Levy and <br /> Scheduling Budget Public Hearing Dates <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder explained that the City Council is obligated to adopt a resolution <br />which sets a maximum tax levy for the 1998 budget. This levy can be reduced but it cannot be <br />increased. The maximum levy recommended by the Finance Committee is $2,223,055 which <br />will result in a small tax rate decrease. This means if there is only a moderate increase in market <br />value, the tax rate will be stable or will slightly decrease. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to adopt Resolution <br />#97-09-253 approving the proposed maximum 1997, payable 1998, tax levy in the amount of <br />$2,223,055 and scheduling the budget public hearing date for 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, December <br />3, 1997, with a reconvene date, if necessary, of 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, December 10, 1997. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
