Council Minutes of 1/2/96 k^~ Mr. O'Grady did not have a committee report but wished to comment on an anonymous .+~: letter received by City Council. The problem with anonymous letters is that the recipient has no capability to respond. The writer of this particular letter expressed concern that the city was increasing property taxes. Actually, the city does not have the authority to increase property taxes. Property taxes go up because of the passage of school levies or because the county increases the vah~ation of the property. Citizens are encouraged to become involved in their government, but not by means of an anonymous letter because there is no opportunity to respond.
