Memo - City Council
<br />2014 Proposed Preliminary Budget and Tax Levy
<br />6
<br />General Fund
<br />
<br />The 2013 legislature enacted levy limits at the end of the
<br />any LGA and we also do not have any special levies for bonds, as we do not have any bonds.
<br />The proposed levy represents our calculated amount received from the Department of Revenue
<br />(DOR). Since there are a number of factors to consider and we do not yet have all the data, the
<br />City Council consensus was to set a preliminary levy at the DOR calculated amount of 3.05%
<br />and have further discussions as we get further into the budget process and have better numbers.
<br />A final levy will be determined in December after more discussions with the City Council in
<br />November. Revenues and expenditures are shown in the table below. We have highlighted items
<br />that impact the preliminary tax levy and proposed budget on the next page to give you a brief
<br />overview.
