Item #1 PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE 1989 REVISED BUDGET, 1990
PROPOSED~BUDGET, AND 1990 PROPOSED TAX LEVY.
City Manager Prosser reviewed and summarized the Budget
Message for the 1990 Proposed Fund Budgets and the 1989 Revised
Fund Budgets. He stated the 1990 budgets reflect the first year
under the new property tax law. The new law changed 1990 Local
Government Aid (LGA) and property tax revenue that had initially
been projected for the 1990 budget. The net effect of the law
was to transfer $872,000 LGA to the ScY~ool District. Richfield's
property tax capacity was increased a similar amount. Overall,
the City of Richfield property tax will increase by 16~. The
School District decrease should offset this increase. The law
makes Richfield much more dependent on property taxes and much
less dependent on LGA. In 1989, LGA represented 35~ total
general fund revenues, compared to 29~ for 1990. Property tax,
as a percentage of general fund, has increased from 30~ in 1989
to 38~ in 1990. He indicated the 1990 City Budget represented an
approximate 4$ increase over 1989 and that the level of service
remained essentially unchanged.
Administrative Services Director Devich reviewed issues
regarding tax capacity and the impact of all jurisdiction's tax
levies on a Richfield homeowners property taxes.
A citizen in the audience who refused to identify himself
stated dissatisfaction with the efficiency of the public works
personnel, fire protection for West Richfield, and police patrol
for West Richfield.
