Council Minutes of 10/19/93 6) The city has received a letter of representation regarding a false arrest case. The issue is being investigated. However, we feel that the city has a valid, defendable case. 7) We have filed an Emerald Health subrogation claim for approximately $5,000. Finance Director Burns reported: 1) Each year we go through a budget hearing process with the county; however, the County Auditor has notified the city that they are not able at this point to certify .the property taxes. The reason for the delay is that the county has been notified that it will have a $54 million reduction in property taxes regard3aag utilities this year. The reason for this reduction could be one of the following or a combinations of bath: a change in the percentage of appraised value that is currently taxed; a change in the way microwaves and overland wires are taxed for telephone utilities. The approximate 37X reduction in collection equates to an approximate $125,000 reduction in property taxes for the city.
