Tax Lew The total tax levy required to fund the proposed 1999 budget is $2,339,140. This is an increase of $114,010 or 5.1% over the 1998 levy. The major items causing the tax levy increase are as follows: 1. Increased staffing to enable completion of the update of the City's Comprehensive Community Management Plan and the update of the City’s Zoning Code. These will enable the City to put in place an updated plan for the development of the City, and the updated zoning regulations needed to implement that plan in the face of increasing development pressures. 2. Additional costs for services the City obtains on a contracted basis, particularly fire protection and assessment services. 3.Additional expenses related to public infrastructure to begin to position the City to address long-term infrastructure needs in the areas of parks and open space, streets, and stormwater management.
