<br /> The property tax levy generates 77.13% of the revenues in the General Fund and is based on
<br />the operating needs of the City after all other revenues have been subtracted from the
<br />expenditures. Excluding Tax Levy revenues, total revenues are a net decrease of 25.85% or
<br />$457,320.10. The decrease in revenues is attributable primarily to the one-time public safety aid
<br />of $471,111 budgeted in 2024 but not in 2025. These revenues were budgeted in the Interest &
<br />Miscellaneous category.
