Ranson <br />As required under State Statute, the City of Little Canada must hold its Truth In Taxation <br />hearing (and continuation hearin~, if determined necessary) between Saturday, November <br />29th and Saturday, December 20t .The County, School Districts, and Metro Joint District <br />have scheduled their TNT hearings, and the date the City chooses cannot conflict with <br />any of those hearing dates. (See calendar attached of dates left available to the City.) <br />Given that the Legislature has reserved Monday, December 1st, and Monday, December <br />8th, for cities to schedule their TNT hearings, it would be staffs recommendation that the <br />Little Canada Truth In Taxation hearing be scheduled for 7:00 p.m., Monday, December <br />1, 2008. A continuation hearing should be called for Monday, December 8, 2008, and <br />will be held only if determined necessary. <br />Actual adoption of the budget cannot occur at the Tl•uth In Taxation hearing. In the past <br />the City has combined its two regular December meetings into one, and has held the <br />Public Hearing for budget adoption at that meeting. Consistent with that practice, it <br />would be staff's recommendation that the Council hold its regular meeting on December <br />17, 2008 and cancel its 1•egularly scheduled December 10 and 24 meetings. Staff would <br />further recommend that the Council call a public hearing to adopt the 2009 Budget at the <br />December 17°i meeting. <br />3 <br />
