' SUBJ: Set Public Hearing Dates and Adopt 1996 Maximum Proposed Levy
I originally set this as a consent agenda item, knowing that it probably would not survive.
However, the county auditor is still working on valuation changes from levy year 1994 to
levy year 1995. Accordingly, I was not able to include what percentage change occurred, nor
' could I suggest a levy amount that, in my opinion, would not create a property tax increase.
The auditor's office has assured me that this information will be available by noon on Friday.
' At our last work session, the city council suggested that the date for the official Truth in
Taxation hearing be set for December 6, 1995 (see attached "budget calendar "). Staff is
recommending that the council officially act to set the hearing date for December 6, 1995.
The second portion of this item —Adopt 1996 Proposed Maximum Levy — sounds like its an
attempt to set the levy at the maximum extent possible under state law without considering
why you are making the levy. That would be an incorrect interpretation of what we are
attempting to do Monday evening. The "maximum" referred to under state statute recognizes
that each jurisdiction must submit to the county a levy amount for inclusion in the Truth in
' Taxation notices,',; Again, the amount set at the initial hearing, Monday evening, is the amount
that cannot be exceeded in December which is the basis for this evening's action being
' labeled "maximum levy." Again, I should have the actual growth rate that has occurred
during the past year by Monday evening.

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 1995 BUDGET,

WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota has mandated the Truth in
Taxation process requiring cities to certify a proposed property
tax levy by September 15 for the ensuing year tax collections; and
WHEREAS, aforesaid "proposed" property tax levy must not be
increased but may, in fact, be decreased in the forthcoming budget
preparation and adoption process; and
WHEREAS, said state mandated Truth in Taxation additionally
requires cities to set, at this time, scheduled dates for public
hearings to consider adoption of the ensuing year budget, giving

with similar public hearings scheduled by the county and school

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Chanhassen
hereby certifies a proposed gross property tax levy for collection
in 1995 of $4,310,000, reduced by anticipated Homestead and

tax levy for collection in 1995 of $3,341,762; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Chanhassen hereby
schedules the Truth in Taxation hearing for consideration of the
1995 Budget and property tax levy to be held on Tuesday, November
29th at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of Chanhassen City Hall,
