Mayor Klecker asked if there were any further questions from the Council regarding the
proposed Tax Levy.
Council member Vetsch had concerns with the City's portion of property taxes that appear to be
going up in 2009.
Finance Director Lannes reminded the Council that during the Budget Workshop, the average
amount of property taxes would about $35.00.
Council wanted to make sure that staff knew to do their best to keep expenses down in 2009,
which staff acknowledged the Council's request to keep the 2009 expenses down. Staff reported
that the employees are very conscientious in the purchases that are made, in which staff shops
around for the best price and value. Kruse continued by stating that employees do not spend the
money just because there are funds in the budget.
