He reported that in the legislature that just ended, <br />our efforts at the LMC and AMM paid off this year. There are no levy limits. It has been proven <br />that levy limits have proven to inflate budgets rather than hold them down. He noted the City <br />has had no freezes. Market value homestead credit was not extended to the City. The City does <br />not receive LGA, while other cities did receive that. On the positive side, he said the City was <br />able to see an increase with the school in a per pupil increase. It didn't get as far as hoped, but <br />did make progress. <br />Councilmember Horst had no report. <br />VIII.
