The <br /> levy is proposed to increase by $135,080. The projected revenues and expenditures will balance. <br /> Mr. March noted in ranking local taxable values in Anoka County from lowest to highest <br /> Centerville is ranked 44. There is a correlation that exists with local taxable values. Centerville <br /> also ranks #4 on the list of local tax rates going from highest to lowest. Also, in comparison to <br /> other Minnesota communities, Centerville's budget has a somewhat unique characteristic that less <br /> than 15% of the budget is comprised of State aids. The vast majority of all property values in <br /> Centerville are increasing. Furthermore, when the City reaches 2500 in population the City will <br /> face a flat 3% levy limit to cover expenses and to provide services. After talking briefly about the <br /> current status of the proposed budget, Mr. March noted the budget will not be adopted until the <br /> December 22, 1997 Council meeting. <br /> There was no one present in opposition to the proposed budget. <br /> 1 <br />
