Even though the goal is a <br />zero percent levy increase for 2021, he reported staff was recommending the Council levy the <br />maximum amount allowed by Charter, which was 3.3%. He explained this would allow for any <br />unforeseen items to be covered, with the understanding the Council would be further reviewing <br />the preliminary budget from September through December. He stated once the tax levy amount <br />was set, it could go down but not up. Staff commented further on the preliminary budget and <br />recommended approval of the budget and tax levy for 2021.
