The entire 2013 General Fund budget is attached.  This budget incorporates $1.5M in road reconstruction and puts the city's tax capacity rate at 44.7%.  As the EDA levy calculates into the city's tax rate, the EDA budget is attached.  The HRA budget is also attached.  The HRA levy stands alone and is not calculated into the city's tax rate.

Also attached is a powerpoint presentation that highlights some of the major changes in the 2013 budget and the city's 2012 strategic goals.

At the meeting, staff will have a program that will allow for a hands-on calculation of tax rates.  This program will show how the city's tax rate would be adjusted if the levy amount is increased/decreased.
