FY 2010 -11 Budget Policy Meeting
such as Click2Gov, Ferry Park fitness trail, Police Department accreditation, and citizen newsletters all
without necessitating a rise in the millage rate. In FY 2006, the City's taxable assessed value surpassed
the $ 1 billion mark, increasing 19. 8% or $ 182M. Public safety wages were increased, a rapid response
vehicle was purchased, and six additional firefighters hired for the ALS program. In FY 2007, the City's
taxable assessed value increased 23. 3% or $ 256M. The City increased public safety wages,
implemented a department -wide police officer take -home vehicle policy, purchased a fire department
command vehicle, and updated the tennis center while reducing the millage rate 6. 6% from 4. 9700 to
4. 6458.
In FY 2008, the millage rate was lowered for the second year in a row by 9. 6% to 4. 1986,
essentially offsetting the 9. 6% increase in the City's taxable assessed value. Property tax revenues
declined $ 93K that year. The City' s taxable value decreased 6. 0% in FY 2009 and the millage rate was
maintained at 4. 1986, which resulted in $ 410K less revenue. Several positions were eliminated and
wages frozen to address the decrease in the General Fund's primary revenue source. In FY 2010 the
City's taxable value decreased 4. 8% and the millage rate was maintained at 4. 1986, resulting in $ 286K
less revenue. Twenty -nine positions were eliminated and hours reduced for another 10 positions.
