IV.A. RESOLUTION 2021-15; SETTING 2022 HRA TAX LEVY AND ADOPTING THE 2022
BUDGET — ADOPTED
Executive Director Neal said this item pertained to the HRA as a separate taxing authority formed
by the City Council in 1974. He said the purpose of the levy was to pay a portion of the
administrative expenses and other economic initiatives necessary to operate the HRA. Historically
those expenses have been paid using TIF funds and continuing with the plan to reduce the reliance
on TIF funds, the levy for 2022 was proposed as a modest increase from $230,400 in 2021 to
$237,300, or an increase of $6,900 or 3%. He said HRA adoption of this final levy resolution was
required to establish the HRA levy for 2022 and funds would be used to support economic
development and affordable housing programs.
Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 1 1:54 p.m.
