Administrator: tax-levy paperwork delayed; council to hold water, airport, gaming work sessions
Summary
City administrator reported the municipality has not yet received tax-levy paperwork needed to meet the Sept. 1 adoption deadline, and announced planned work sessions on water (Sept. 21 at 5 p.m.), the airport (Oct. 5 at 6 p.m.) and gaming funds (October evening session).
The city administrator updated council that the tax-levy paperwork had not arrived and expressed concern about meeting the statutory September 1 requirement for levy approval and public hearing publication. "We have still not received the tax paperwork. So a little nervous," the administrator said, and noted the auditor determines the rate based on assessed valuations and mandatory adjustments.
The administrator also proposed three work sessions to prepare for the budget cycle: 09/21 at 5 p.m. to review water rates and the underlying cost drivers (presentation plus discussion), 10/05 at 6 p.m. to discuss the airport and potential scope or planning funds, and an October evening session to review distribution of gaming-fund revenues. Staff said they will schedule and notice these sessions.
