<br />The property tax levy generates 79.72% 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 6.53% or
<br />$85,713. The decrease in revenues is attributable primarily to interfund loans interest payments
<br />of approximately $17,000. All interfund loans to the general fund are anticipated to be paid in full
<br />by the end of 2025. Further, a decrease in use of fund balance revenues of $79,384 from prior
<br />year. 2025 budget included $100,000 for exploring police services models budgeted with fund
<br />balance revenue.
