Vice Preaiden CLinner Council Chamber btillwater, Minnesota March 24, 1949 7:30 P.M. Special Meeting: Meeting called to order by VicepPresident Linner. All members of the Council present except Mayor Carlson and Councilman Hoyoss. Meeting called for the purpose of discussing the tax levy for general purposes for the year 1950. City Clerk reminded the Council that the Charter provides for a general fund levy not to exceet 2% of total assessed valuation and the state law provides that a city of the fourth class cannot exceed a levy of 25 mills for general purposes. He also stated that in his opinion the 1949 levy of 25 mills for general purposes would be sufficient to meet general fund expenses due to the fact that the Council would have reserves to fall back on including balance in parking meter fund from previous years and U. S. Savings Bonds which had been purchased from general fund monies. He also stated that it would be impossible to render the same service during the year 1950 on a 25mi11 levy without reserves to fall back on. In fact it would be necessary to mate drastic cuts in all departments in order to stay within the legal limit. The City Clerk suggested that the Council do one of two things, namely; make a request for special legislation or state wide bill whichever would have the best chances of passage during the present session of the legislature, or to emend our charter to allow additional (Continuted on page 422) • • • w 422 • • levy for road or street fund which at the present time is included in the general levy.
