2012 Truth in Taxation Public Hearing Dates
Prop osed Action
Item No.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to ado pt a Resolution setting the
2012 Truth in Taxation hearing date.
Passage of this motion will set the Truth in Taxation public budget hearing date to be held on
Monday, December 3, 2012 at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers.
Overview
City councils are required, prior to September 15, to certify to the County Treasurer /Auditor the
date for the public budget hearing. The County Treasurer /Auditor will mail parcel- specific Truth
in Taxation notices on approximately November 15. These notices inform property owners of
the time and place of the budget hearings and the impact of the proposed property tax levy.
The State Legislature amended the Truth in Taxation Laws granting the City Council more
flexibility with regard to setting the hearing and adoption dates. The City Council must hold the
hearing after 6:00 p.m. after November 25 but before December 26.
At its August work session, the City Council indicated that they prefer Monday, December 3,
2012 for a public hearing. The evening will be primarily for the purpose of presenting the budget
and tax levy. The hearing provides an opportunity for the public to present questions,
comments and concerns.
