PUBLIC HEARINGS
7.a. Establish 2023 Budget and Levy
City Administrator Martin presented the City’s Final Operating Budget and the Levy for 2023. The
draft 2023 Budget presents the 8th year in a row of tax rate reduction as the tax rate is reduced by
12.5%. Mr. Martin highlighted new construction saved pre-existing homeowners $33 on their taxes.
Without $98.2 million in new construction, taxes on median valued home would’ve increased $102
in 2023. Overall the typical median value home increase (7%) would see City taxes reduced $70 with
proposed budget.
Mr. Martin summarized the main expenditures leading to the budget increase within the presentation
and presented each departments budget and highlighted any changes. Mr. Martin also explained the
lengthy process for creating the budget.
