Each amount listed is per $100.00 of assessed valuation. General Fund $ 85 Recreation and Parks 33 Municipal Lighting District 25 County Fire District 7399 County Library 2341 TOTAL TAX RATE $2.404 Due to the passage of Revenue Sharing Bill AB1588 which wilt produce $101,000.00 for the City, Councilman Blewett suggested that a portion of this money be used to reduce the City tax rate. Discussion followed that this money would not be available until 1975-76 and then for only eighteen months and not continuous. Also Council had agreed by motion that revenue sharing money be set aside for the City Hall and Police facility. We have a balanced budget with $365,524.00 in the current General Fund which will run the City about one month and $5,612.00 from unappropriated surplus for 1973-74. Further discussion followed that a $ 03 tax cut would not be practical, would not be an appreciable savings to the taxpayer and the money that is set aside will provide facility funds without having a bond issue.

She would like to sit In on the discussion. She also requested that the unapproved minutes for August not be mailed out unfit reviewed. Council had no objections. 00. August 29» 1973 Page 3 REQUEST PERMISSION TO DRAW 2 WARRANTS WARRANTS AUTHORIZED AUGUST MINUTES TO BE REVIEWED BEFORE MAILING Mr. Ralph Middleton, 13122 E. Corak Street, stated that revenue sharing was not constructed to be set aside for a new City Half and that the people should express their opinions. Other priorities such as curbs, gutters and sidewalks are much higher. We need a new City Hall, but we*re spending a good deal on the old City Hall. City Manager Mocalls explained that the work in City Hall was made mandatory by the federal grant for our IBM equipment. A report is being prepared on methods of financing a new facility. Discussion followed regarding revenue sharing and that If It were dropped, cities could be in a bad situation, that the City 1s attempting to put aside money for a new facility without having to ask the taxpayer for more money. A new facility will help employee moral and provide more citizen parking. Councilman Blewett felt the building of the facility should be by a bond Issue and be built now as costs are rising. Mr. Middleton suggested a citizen advisory group to study revenue sharing. Councilman McCaron commented that the idea is to accumulate enough money for the new facility and then go to the people If we need more. 00- AT 8:35 P.M.
