Dear Colleagues,
I will not be at the July 6th Council meeting when you take up the ordinance amendment that would give our taxpayers more flexibility in making installment payments on their property taxes. So, via this message, I’m asking you to refer the ordinance to our meeting in December. This is necessary because the Council narrowly rejected the budget amendment to move forward with the corresponding IT changes at your last meeting on a vote of 13 to 4. There isn’t sufficient time now to get this in place for the 2010 tax year.
Referring the ordinance amendment to December will give us time to consider the budgetary implications (both the costs and the benefits) in our budget deliberations. If I decide to budget for the change and the Council approves this in November then the ordinance amendment would be ready to go in December to be in place for the 2011 tax year. If I decide not to go forward with it or the Council rejects it, then we can place the ordinance on file at that time.
Thanks for your consideration and have a good (and brief) meeting on Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Dave
– #94 is the item on quarterly taxes that was referred to this meeting.
