Mayor Christy explained that the purpose for this hearing is to
adopt a measure to increase the property tax levy by 18.6%. He
asked for comments from the audience.
Mr. Opal stated that he told the Council back in September that
this was being done illegally and they were in violation of the
TRIM Law.
The City Attorney explained that this meeting is being held to
correct any mistake that has been made, unfortunately this is
only an act of futility, because the City Clerk, auditor, mayor
and he are going to a County meeting tomorrow and the action
taken tonight may be worthless. The County is going to automatically
change the millage rate if it is necessary.
Mayor Christy tried to explain how the taxes are being figured.
He showed the audience the worksheet that was sent to the City
by the County and that is how we got the figures that we came
up with. He added that the changes need to be made in the Governor's
office; that's where the increase in taxes is caused.
Councilman Asting stated that we have prepared a City Dudget and it
is figured at the bare minimum needed to maintain the services
provided by the City. The City has to pay the prices also.
The City Clerk read a statement explaining the increase in our budget
over last year, and that the taxes received by remaining with the
rolled back millage would run short of meeting our anticipated
expenditures.
There was no more discussion at this time.
