Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council of the City of Centerville held their second budget meeting on September 20, 1988. Mayor L'Allier called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Present: Burgstahler, Neumann. Absent: Fritchie, Wilharber. Clerk advised that the fiscal disparity distribution number is still not available from the state, thus is it is still not possible to determine what the exact 1989 tax capacity rate should be for Centerville to not increase taxes to property owners. Clerk estimated that the tax levy may not be more than $180,000 as compared to $172,689 in 1988. Clerk noted that even though the City had experienced growth in 1988 the reasons that the levy did not increase proportionately for the 1989 levy were: -The change in the tax law effects the City in that the majority of the homes in Centerville are in the $60,000 to $100,000 bracket, which will benefit (or be taxed less) from the law. Clerk also noted that homes below $60,000 and above $100,000 may experience an increase in taxes due to the new tax law. -The effects of the Center Oaks II Tax Increment Financing District will be first felt in 1989. Discussion of the Financial Administration line item. Clerk presented the Council with an estimate of the costs for 1989. This estimate is on file with the City Clerk. Clerk noted that all items are based on information or direction given to City staff by the Employee Review Board, or City Council in the past. Major points of discussion were salaries and health insurance. Clerk will present more detailed information to the Council on both items.
