Unfortunately, the actual cost associated with renewing <br />the police contract was unknown at that time. Therefore, the tax statements do not reflect the <br />most recently proposed budget of (48%) $760,000. Mr. March alluded to the taxable market <br />values and homestead taxes (see attached). Mayor Wilharber opened the discussion up to all <br />interested parties. <br /> <br />Ms. Laura Dom (1836 Revoir Street) recognized the number of building permits is predicted to <br />decline in 1999, while other permit revenue is expected to increase so she requested clarification. <br />Mr. March responded, unlike in 1998 the City will lease antenna sites to two companies instead of <br />one, and residential building is predicted to decline. <br /> <br />Mr. Barry Brainerd (1853 Revoir Street) requested an explanation as to the major increase in the <br />budget for 1999. Mayor Wilharber explained in detail the uncertain situation with the Police <br />contract and the possibilities of a "buy in. " <br /> <br />Ms. Roberta Worth (7065 Eagle Trail) commented her Realtor said that her taxes would be less <br />than the proposed amount. This has caused Ms. Worth to believe that the taxes are too high and <br />she suggested the Council consider eliminating a staff member or two. In addition, it is difficult <br />for a single mother with three children to afford the taxes. Mr. March explained the real estate <br />agent may not have been the best resource for reliable information. However, Centerville plans to <br />attract business which will assist in maintaining lower taxes. <br /> <br />Mr. March depicted the majority of expenditures in the "City Expenditures by Category" area. <br /> <br />--J <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />----..- -...- ----- ----_._~.._-- --------- -- ---- - <br />
