McNiesh displayed a transparency of the proposed use of the Revenue Sharing Entitlement Funds: Punch Card Voting System................. .$13,OOO Public Works Automotive Equipment.........$23.000 and the 1986 Proposed General Fund Expenditures ($1,267,990) with Finance Committee Recommended Changes, reducing the General Fund expenditures to $1,232,870. McNiesh reviewed the net effect the proposed budget will have on the Tax Levy; explained that the 1986 estimated mill rate is 9.458 mills, about 9% over the 1985 rate 0/4 mill). However, because of tax base computation changes, the increased mill rate in 1986 will result in an approximate 3% tax reduc- tion over 1985 for Arden Hills residents if other taxing entities do not raise their mill rates. McNiesh said she feels strongly that the City should pay for as much of the proposed truck this year as it can; repor~~news release, received . today from the League of Cities, indicate a^s 0 all on the State level; noted that the last time this occurred, local government aid and homestead credit were cut; consequently, she feels the City would be better off levying to the limit. In discussion, Woodburn asked for Council input relative to continued financ- ing of the tree and woodpile inspections and social services (Senior citizen van. Youth Service Bureau, etc.) No changes were made to these budgeted items.
