Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with Council Members Willcox,

Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Napper advised the purpose of the meeting was to conduct a public
hearing to consider the proposed 1991 Operating Budget, 1991 - 1995 CIP
Budget and the 1991 property taxes the City Council proposes to collect.
The city clerk presented for the record the Notice of Proposed Taxes
advertised in the "ThisWeek" Newspaper. See Clerk's File 1990-39.
Administrator Stephan Jilk reviewed the notice residents received regarding
the proposed 19.2 percent increase in the City's tax levy for 1991.
Administrator Jilk advised the actual increase in taxes payable in 1991
caused by the proposed increase in the City's levy will be approximately
three percent or less. Jilk explained to the audience how the increases
being proposed are supported by the rise in property valuation in the City
and advised the City experienced an increase in property valuation from the
end of 1989 to the end of 1990 of approximately 16.5 percent. See Clerk's
File 1990-39.
Administrator Jilk provided an overview of the proposed 1991 operating
budget by summarizing the proposed expenditures and revenues for each
department. Jilk also reviewed the proposed five year capital improvements
budget, retirement/severance fund, bonded indebtedness, fire relief and
armory levy for 1991 and commented on the local government aid and
anticipated MSA maintenance funds the City will receive for 1991.
Administrator Jilk provided an overview of budget comparisons for the years
1986 to 1991. This comparison included such items as total operating
budgets, five year capital improvement budgets, capital improvement
funding, bonded indebtedness, local government aid, internal revenue
generated, number of city employees, single family building permits, market
valuations, general fund reserves and capital improvement reserves. See
Clerk's File 1990-39.
The city administrator answered questions from the audience with regards to
the increase of city staff members from the year 1986 to 1991, how reducing
the number of city employees could result in reducing services provided by
the City, bonded indebtedness, and general reserve funds.
MOTION by Napper to close the public hearing. SECOND by Oxborough. Ayes:
Willcox, Napper, Oxborough, Klassen. Nays: 0.
Mayor Napper advised that because the Council is currently conducting an in
depth study of various areas of the budget, the Council would not comment
or discuss individual items of the proposed 1991 budget. Mayor Napper
estimated completion of the study by the end of 1990; and upon completion,
the Council would again review the proposed 1991 budget. Mayor Napper
noted further examination of the 1991 budget would not result in any
increases in residents' property taxes. Council concurred residents will
