Since the second <br />Council meeting in December falls on Christmas, December 25, <br />1995, he proposed that the meeting be rescheduled to the third <br />Monday in December which is the 18th. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to reschedule the second Council <br />meeting in December for December 18, 1995. Council Member <br />Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 95 - 107 ADOPTING THE PROPOSED <br />1996 ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET, RANDY SCHUMACHER <br />Mr. Schumacher noted that the Truth in Taxation legislation <br />requires the City to adopt a proposed 1996 operating budget on or <br />before September 15th, 1995. A proposed 1996 operating budget has <br />been prepared proposing a zero tax increase. <br />A day -long work session was held in which each department head <br />met with the City Council to present their goals and needs for <br />1996. A work session was held last Wednesday to discuss details <br />of some of the department proposals. During both of the budget <br />work sessions, the City Council emphasized that they wanted a <br />zero tax increase budget. The proposed preliminary 1996 budget <br />indicates that there will not be a property tax increase. <br />The department budgets within the 1996 proposed operating budget <br />will be further reviewed by the City Council and staff between <br />September 15, 1995 and November 25, 1995. Additional changes may <br />be determined. <br />Council Member Bergeson noted that although the proposed 1996 <br />budget indicates a zero increase in taxes, that does not mean a <br />homeowner will not have a tax increase. If the tax - payers <br />property value increases or if another taxing entity such as the <br />County or the School District increase their levies, there will <br />be a tax increase. This means that there will be no tax increase <br />due to additional City expenditures. <br />Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 107 <br />setting the 1996 Operating Budget of $4,051,593.00. Council <br />Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Resolution No. 95 - 107 can be found at the end of these minutes. <br />PAGE 5 <br />
