Dir. <br />Accounting Supvr. <br />Fire Relief Assoc. <br />Cable TV Producer <br />Deputy Clerk <br />City Administrator Mr. Joel R. Hanson <br />Mr. Greg Schroeder <br />Mr. Jim Morelan <br />IvTs. Tina Hix <br />Mr. Joe Vitale <br />Mr. Todd Holdman <br />Ms. Kathy Glanzer <br />2001 The City Administrator reported that at Council's September 13th <br />BUDGET workshop, a preliminary budget that required a 6.89% net levy increase <br />was reviewed. At that time, the Council certified a preliminary net levy of <br />5% for Truth-In-Taxation purposes, and set a goal of reducing the net levy <br />increase further. After implementing Council direction for additional cuts, <br />the proposed net levy increase is now at 4.6%. Given the consensus that <br />this is still not low enough, the City Administrator reviewed some <br />additional areas where it might be possible to further reduce the levy. <br />The first item discussed was Spring Clean-Up Day. The Administrator <br />noted that this past spring the City fully subsidized all disposal costs. <br />During previous years residents were charged nominal fees for disposal. <br />At the September 13'x' workshop the Council decided that fees should be <br />charged for the disposal of electronic equipment, reducing City costs by <br />approximately $2,500. The Administrator estimated that other disposal <br />costs would be $3,000. It was the consensus of the Council that nominal <br />fees should be charged for disposal of all items, thereby reducing <br />projected City costs for clean-up day to $1,500. <br />
