CITY OF ORONO PUBLIC HEARING <br />TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING <br />MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 29, 1995 <br />sewer projects and the city facility. Building Inspection and Zoning is at 7.2% and fire • <br />protection is at 4.7 %. <br />Hurr stated she thought the Building Inspection and Zoning Department was self supporting. <br />Moorse stated that part of the tax levy does go to the Building Inspection and Zoning <br />Department because their revenues do not fully cover all their expenses. Hurr requested a <br />breakdown of the Building Inspection and Zoning Department revenues and expenditures. <br />Callahan stated the purpose of this meeting was to have input from the citizens and asked if there <br />were any questions. <br />Christa Nejezchleba, 2625 Kelly Avenue, stated she had a question regarding the Kelly Avenue <br />sewer project and road reconstruction. She asked why the project had not continued. Moorse <br />stated the plan had been to do the project this year but part of the project was to replace the <br />sewer line before the road work was started. As the sewer line project work progressed it <br />became more complicated than anticipated and that portion of the project was not completed. <br />The city will continue the sewer line project and road reconstruction during the next construction <br />season. <br />Callahan read portions of a letter received from the Commissioner of Revenue which stated the <br />average state wide city increases in tax levy will be 6.8% although the State had recommended <br />the cities limit their increases to 4 %.
