However, the recommendation as it stands now is for a levy increase.

SPECIAL ORDER OF BUISNESS • <br />24 <br />25 A. 2008 Budget Discussion <br />26 <br />27 Finance Director Beer explained that Staff was asked to review the budget for any possible <br />28 reductions. Staff has done that and has reduced the imbalance to $474,000. <br />29 <br />3o Council Member Flaherty said that something needs to be in to the Caunty by September 15, <br />31 2007 and this Council has not received an official xecommendation from the Task Force on the <br />32 street project. <br />33 <br />34 Council Member Flaherty suggested considering financing for years two through 11 rather than <br />35 one through 10 as there is a time shortage. Council Member Flaherty suggested funding the first <br />36 year through existing City funds and then levying for years two through 11. <br />37 <br />38 City Administrator Ulrich clarified that the suggestion is to defer the levy to 2008 but continue <br />39 with the project. <br />40 <br />41 Finance Director Beer explained that the City would not run short of funds for the street project <br />42 until the end of the project and that is why the amounts were stretched out over time rather than <br />43 hit taxpayers with all of it at the end of the project. <br />44 • <br />
