At this time Mayor Cbristmam addressed Council regarding this ordinance stating it appears that this would be a reduction in the actual revenues to the City by a certain amt amd wondered if Council had considered what this amount might be should this B.J.R. ~ bs successful sad go onto the ballot and be passed by the peogle of North Oleested, and asked if anyone has a dollar value for this.. Mayor C~catsan'referred to Council Safety Rapart requesting additl fireman; additions]. galicemen and additional equipsent. Further, our ability to issue debt is based on our tax duplicate; our ability to ogerate flue City is based on quite a bit the real estate tax - taxes, and thinks that be!'+are this is passed on esarffiancy th+e Council of this City should know in a d+~rllars amd ce:rts field dust wb~tt this eight mean if it should be passed. Mr. iiilsstosky asked the Mayor if he bas figures as to what the varisace might be. Mtyoz had rough figures regarding our tax duplicate for this year: Our residential duplicate is 99 million dollars. it is presently at about 33 1/3X of its saYket valve. W~s;:would be lowering that to 25X or roughly to 75 million dollars. This is a reduction of 24 million dollars in tax duplicate that if you apply 12.1 mills on it, it is $312,UOO. Mayor dose not think that if the cossmercial property ie at 33 I/3X and went to 35X that the increase will be of such a significance to offset it; and knows that our industrial tax duplicate going Eros around 33x to 44X definitely would not offset it.
