The final tax levy and budget will be approved at the following meeting. The Council approved the proposed tax levy on September 11. At that time, the Council also approved several changes to the General Fund budget. The General Fund budget has not been adjusted to reflect those changes. In addition, there are several other outstanding items that need Council consideration so the proposed budget can be drafted for the December 4 hearing. Discussion Below are the approved budget adjustments and items yet to be decided by the Council. In addition, there are two changes for the recreation department. First, the capital outlay line item was reduced after researching state bid prices, but those have changed and it needs to be increased back to the original request. Second, the proposed budget did not include the replacement of the part time recreation assistant vacancy created when Tonya Love was promoted to a full time recreation coordinator position. Bill Maertz has since clarified that his intent was to add a full time position instead of increasing a part time position to full time.
