Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to adopt a Resolution setting the 2010
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 6 2010 at 7:00 PM at 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. Rules and regulations
published by the Minnesota Department of Revenue are attached.
At its August work session, the City Council indicated that they prefer Monday, December 6, 2010
for a public hearing. The evening will be primarily for the purpose of to presenting the budget and
tax levy. The hearing provides an opportunity for the public to present questions, comments and
concerns.
