ORDINANCE LEVYING PROPERTY TAXES (ORDINANCE NO. 2897)
AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
Recitals:
A. On June 17, 2003, this council adopted ordinance #2897 levying taxes for the 2003-
2004 fiscal year. The tax rates per thousand dollars set forth in section 2 of that
ordinance for the General Fund ($1.4719) and the Parks and Recreation Fund
($2.0925) were correct and equaled a tax levy of $3.5644 per $1,000.
B. In section 1 of the ordinance, however, the tax rate was listed as $3.5640 per
$1,000, a difference of $0.0004. For purposes of local budget law, the figures set out in
sections one and two are to indicate the same total rate. This ordinance amendment
corrects the erroneous figure in section one in order to comply with the local budget
law.
