NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> September 9, 2013 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> Sue Iverson, Director of Finance and Administrative Services <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> Establishing 2013 Truth-In-Taxation Hearing Dates <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Annually by September 15, the City is required to adopt and certify to Ramsey County Truth-In- <br />Taxation hearing dates. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The 2009 Legislature changed the Truth-in-Taxation laws. We are now only required to <br />announce and schedule one regular meeting at which the council discusses the budget and levy <br />and takes comments from the public, we are no longer required to publish notices in the paper. <br />We may adopt the budget and final levy after the hearing during the same meeting. The meeting <br />must be after November 25 and no later than December 26 and must occur at or after 6 p.m. <br /> <br />The Council may choose to have a separate meeting or may choose to do this at a regular <br />meeting. <br /> <br />It is anticipated the Council will adopt the final 2013 levy payable in 2014, and the 2014 budget, <br />on December 9, 2013. <br /> <br />Recommended Action: <br /> <br />1. Establish a Public Hearing for date for Truth-in-Taxation. (Adopt Resolution 2013-036, a <br />Resolution adopting Truth-in-Taxation public hearing dates for proposed taxes payable in <br />2014.) <br />
