Set Public Hearing for Resolution Establishing Maximum Property Tax Dollars for Fiscal Year 2024: Motion by Roussell to receive and file the documents, listen to the presentation, and set the maximum property tax rate. Seconded by Wethal. City Manager Van Milligen summarized his recommendation for the Fiscal Year 2024 maximum prop- erty tax dollars. Responding to a question from the City Council, City Manager Van Milli- gen stated that a main difference in this year’s recommendation is the wage increases he is recommending for employees in alignment with City Council’s priority of employee re- cruitment and retention. Chief Financial Officer Jenny Larson and City Attorney Brumwell confirmed that proposed rate increases should be specified in total dollar amount per guidance by the Iowa Department of Management. The City Council and City Manager Van Milligen discussed the City Council’s approach in the previous year of increasing the maximum property tax dollars prior to the public hearing but not adopting the full increase in the budget. City Manager Van Milligen also summarized the State of Iowa’s error in the state rollback factor, which will result in less money for local governments to correct the error. City Manager Van Milligen stated that the Fiscal Year 2024 recommended budget incorporates the City’s anticipated reduction from the rollback. City Council Members dis- cussed the various options for the maximum property tax dollars. City Attorney Brumwell confirmed that any increase above 2% would require a super majority vote to pass and advised that changing the maximum property tax dollars be a motion to amend the budget year total tax levy.
