AGENDA ITEM 3B(iii)
Staff Originator: Al Rolek
Date: September 5, 2001
Topic: Establish date of Truth in Taxation hearing
Vote Required: Simple Majority
Background
All government entities are required to hold Truth in Taxation hearings to receive
public input on the proposed levy and general operation budget. Cities may not
hold their hearings on the same dates as Counties and School Districts. Due to
the extended 2001 legislative session, the State Legislature waived the
requirement of a Truth in Taxation hearing for this year. The reason for the
waiver the extended legislative session caused a delay in the processing of tax
and property specific notices, and the public will not receive this information until
mid- to late December. However, although it is not required, the City Council has
indicated a desire to hold a Truth in Taxation hearing.
Monday, December 10, 2001, at 6:00 p.m. is proposed to be the Truth in
Taxation hearing date, with final adoption of the 2001-02 tax levy and 2002
general operating budget immediately following the hearing.
