V. PUBLIC HEARINGS
V.A. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-11, SETTING 2023 TAX LEVY AND ADOPTING THE 2023
OPERATING BUDGET —ADOPTED
Executive Director Neal said the Commission was asked to hold the public hearing on setting the
2023 tax levy and adopting the 2023 operating budget. He said the public hearing would remain open
until December 12, 2022 at noon and that approval of Resolution No. 2022-1 1 Setting 2023 Tax
Levy and Adopting 2023 Operating Budget would be required at the December 20, 2022 HRA
meeting. He explained the HRA was a separate taxing authority formed by the City Council in 1974
with the purpose to levy to pay a portion of the administrative expenses and other economic
initiatives necessary to operate the HRA including the City's renewed efforts to create affordable
housing. Historically those expenses had been paid using TIF funds. Continuing with the plan to
reduce the reliance on TIF funds, the levy proposed for 2023 was a 3% increase from $237,300 in
2022 to $244,400 and was the same as the preliminary amount approved by the HRA on September
15.
The Commission asked questions and provided feedback.
Chair Hovland opened the public hearing at 1 1:55 p.m.
