City Council Truth in Taxation Hearing Meeting Minutes <br /> December 6, 1995 <br /> Page 8 ` <br /> 1 Mornson noted the state has cut the funds to local government. The City either has to reduce <br /> 2 services or increase taxes as they receive less revenue each-year. <br /> 3 Fire Chief Johnson stated he has been the Chief since 1990. The first year the departments <br /> 4 were to cut their budget by 5%. The second year the budgets were to be cut by 5%. Taxes still <br /> 5 increased. Even when a stand-in-place budget is followed, taxes go up. <br /> 6 Mr.Nelson stated this is his suggestion for short term relief. <br /> 7 Mayor Ranallo noted this was not sensible and if done services would have to be cut. <br /> 8 Mr.Nelson stated he did not believe that. He stated if the City didn't think it was possible,then <br /> 9 they should "kick in" the $11 3,000 from the excess $814,000. <br /> 10 Councilmember Wagner noted the $814,000 was necessary as the City only gets paid twice per <br /> 11 year to replace funds. <br /> 12 V.
