Res. #08-024 -Proposed 2009 Budget & Tax Levi <br />City Administrator Larson stated after the initial levy is adopted, that the levy can go down <br />but not up. <br />Mayor Capra stated that this is up from last year. <br />Councilmember Paar stated that the reduction in Local Government Aid does not hurt the <br />City, since the city received so little, the Council would not see huge spikes up and down. <br />City Administrator Larson reported that a significant element of the Local <br />Governent Aid formula is based on the age of housing stock. Since most of the housing in <br />Centerville is newer than 1940 the formula doesn't benefit Centerville. <br />Mayor Capra read the Resolution to the City Council.
