The WORKSHOP Administrator reported that the City is required to certify its maximum levy to the County by September 15th. In previous years, the Legislature had established levy limits for cities, however, these limits have been lifted and the Council must establish a maximum levy for the City. The Administrator reported that the City will hold its Truth in Taxation Hearing sometime in December. The Administrator also pointed out that once the maximum levy is established, the Council has the option of reducing that levy through reductions in the budget, however, the levy cannot be increased. The Administrator anticipated that once the maximum levy is established, there will be more meetings of the Council to fine-tune the budget and get costs at a level the City feels proper for 1993.
