Deadline/Timeline: Deadline is September 15, 2010. Background: • The City must certify its 2011 proposed property tax levy to the county auditor by September 15. This is the maximum levy allowed by the state law. It may be reduced before the final budget and tax levy are adopted in December. • At the August 23rd and 30ih special meetings the Council reviewed a preliminary budget. • Staff has prepared resolution to certify the maximum levy allowed under the state levy limit, $2,013,651, a 4.95% increase from the 2010 levy. • State law requires that the city hold a public meeting to be held between November 25 and December 26 (after 6:00 p.m.) The date and time must be certified to the county before or with the levy certification, and will be included on the property t� notices sent in November. Staff has identified several possible dates for the public meeting: ➢ Tuesday, November 30 (special meeting) ➢ Tuesday, December 7 (combine with scheduled meeting) ➢ Tuesday, December 14 (special meeting) • In 2009, the meeting was held at 6:30 p.m., prior to the Council's monthly meeting with the Planning Commission. Recommendation: I recommend that the Council adopt Resolution No. 09-07-10-01, certifying the 2010 proposed tax levy. I also recommend that the Council pass a motion formally setting the date and time for the public meeting on the budget and tax levy. Staff further recommends that the next budget work session be scheduled on either November 9 or 10. (A special meeting will be required to canvass the votes 3 to 10 days after the November election.)
