which along with the final levy and fee schedule, will be brought to the December 10
meeting for adoption. The proposed total city levy change is $415,000, an increase of
4.3%, and the proposed HRA levy change is $25,000, a 7.7% increase.
The tax levy and tax capacity were discussed and Mr. Oberg presented a list of tax base
changes. A significant change was the decreased estimated market value of Xcel Energy
