As the City staff will now be preparing all Planning Connnission reports, a change in packet procedure is being undertaken. Enclosed in the worksession packet you will find the Planning Connnission recommendations and reports to be considered at the August 30 Council meeting. In the future, as a courtesy to the council, all Planning recommendations and reports will be provided with each worksession packet. This will allow council to consider the issues prior to making their considerations and recommendations at the last Council meeting of the month. n ACO:XlNl'lNG Budget: 1. A budget worksession is requested for August 31 at 4:30 pm to coordinate previous budget discussions with any new items. (Maximum levy 1994 must be set by September 15). 2. A considerable decrease in valuation is affecting the 1994 budget in a loss of revenue. An increase in HACA to the City helps to offset this, however minimal. Attached is a memo from Terry Post providing further information with several options outlined on page 3. We have to date limited the levy increase to 2.9%, and have already reduced some expenditures. However, this valuation reduction/loss of tax revenue needs to be addressed by feedback from the council.
