PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX LEVY FOR FY2024 (TRUTH-IN-TAXATION HEARING) AND ON PROPOSED FINAL BUDGET ADOPTION FOR FY2024 AND APPROVAL OF TRUTH IN TAXATION INCREASE BY ROLL CALL VOTE
Mayor Pizzillo opened the Public Hearing at 5:28 p.m.
Finance Manager, Budget and Research, Ryan Bittle presented information about the budget process and the requirements for a public hearing, special meeting and roll call vote for the Truth in Taxation increase.
Mr. Bittle reviewed the budget and emphasized that nothing had changed from the tentative budget adopted at the May 22, 2023 Council Meeting. He spoke about where the money comes from (revenue) and where the money goes (expenses).
Mr. Bittle then reviewed the tax increase. He said that the State Constitution limits the annual levy increase to no more than 2%. He added that the Truth-in-Taxation amount is $258,247 and the process outlined in statute was followed. He continued that any increase a city of Goodyear property owner may see is likely due to an increase in the value of the home as the rate has not changed.
Mayor Pizzillo closed the Public Hearing at 5:36 p.m.
Council inquired what the rationale was behind having multiple meetings right after the other to adopt the budget and have the public hearings.
Council highlighted that over half of the General Fund goes to funding public safety.
