Tax Levy Mayor Golinski opened the Tax Levy public hearing.Jesus Alaniz, Colonial Parkway, stated what was written in the paper was unclear. He read this as a tax increase,but Alderman Colosimo corrected him on that.He would like this transparent and as clear as possible. Mayor Golinski said what was printed in the paper was an estimate of the City's tax levy. Just like the previous three years,taxes will be going down slightly. City Administrator Olson stated in general,between the City line item and library line item on the residents property tax bill for next year,he expects the total of those to go down 1%.That is going to be reflected through a 2%decrease in the City's levee and then 1.61%increase in the library. Those are all estimated numbers. In order to get to those figures the City always asks for more than it can get. That is why the tax levy notices states percentages that are higher than what the City expects to get. The City's levee is made up of two components. One is the City's property tax levy under the City's tax cap.The second component is the City's non abated property taxes related to bonds and past debt. The City will pass the tax levy and whatever that dollar amount comes out at under the property tax cap the City always off sets that in the later month.This is the first step of a two step process to come up with the City property tax. Whatever this one comes up at the City is going to offset that by decreasing the City's non abated property taxes at a later date. Alderman Teeling said the City tries to capture taxes of any new buildings or new construction that went up. City Administrator Olson said that is correct.Alderman Colosimo gave a simple example of how this tax levy works. City Administrator Olson wanted to clarify that the City doesn't actually set the tax rate, it sets the tax amount. i Mayor Golinski closed public hearing.
