Finance Director Margaret Egan presented the Truth in Taxation Hearing for the 2001 Budget and Tax Levy. The City dedicates property taxes to general operations and debt repayment. The need for taxes is increasing due to rising costs and service additions in an era of limited growth in non-tax revenues. Truth in Taxation Notices stated a proposed levy of $3,550,000 or 11.6% increase over the 2000 levy, however, further reductions now provide a 9.7% increase or $3,482,000. The proposed 2001 Budgct is $13,961,000 or a 6.62% change from 2000. These changes reflect a commitment to quality services. Council and staff believes the budget should be fully funded, use of customer charges when special benefit is received, use of taxes and state aid for general benefit services, and resourCes should provide supplement to reduce tax need. The General Fund includes the following pcrsonnel changes: Deputy Fire Director, Liaison Officer, Office Assistant, Fire Marshall, Code Enforcement Officer, Information Systems Manager, Public Works Maintenance Worker, and Aquatics Coordinator.
