City of Centerville <br /> Council Meeting Minutes <br /> December 9, 2009 <br /> Mayor Capra explained the operating budget to Mr. Marshall stating that it has been <br /> reduced. She also clarified that Mr. Marshall's total amount of tax increase is not all City <br /> tax, but also School and County taxes. She also reviewed the States' 2009 market home <br /> value levy stating that without the suspension of the program $68,000 of the levy that the <br /> City collected was credited back to residents' property taxes. <br /> City Administrator Larson also clarified that the tax increase is because of a <br /> redistribution that is occurring, properties that are going down in value compared to other <br /> properties such as Mr. Marshall's, which have increased in value. <br /> Councilmember Linda stated that citizens are welcomed to offer ideas and input, as <br /> taxpayers, where they feel the City should implement cuts. <br /> Janice Hackman, 7034 Dupre Road, appeared before the Council and asked who plans all <br /> of the after school programs, extracurricular and evening adult activities, noting these are <br /> areas that could be cut. Mayor Capra replied that those programs are funded through <br /> Community Education, not the City. <br /> Mayor Capra encouraged residents to attend the budget communications meetings that <br /> the City Council holds in July and August to offer their input. <br /> There being no further speakers Mayor Capra closed the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. <br /> Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member Paar to <br /> approve closing the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. All in favor.
