increase in taxes over the amount presently authorized
by the present tax base, police serial levy and fire EMT

value of taxable property to permit swimming pool
program fees to be at a reasonable rate and to provide
maintenance of recreation facilities. It is estimated
that a levy of 5.5¢ per thousand dollars of assessed
