Highway 371 <br />Tim Houle noted that he has met with Staff and to review the City's <br />portion of the Highway 371 project. He noted that there will be a <br />proposal for Council summarizing where the City is at, <br />improvements being proposed, and estimated costs. <br />Council Member Ryan questioned if the City should be looking at <br />bringing sewer to the new development site from under the highway <br />rather than tying into the existing lift station. Tim Houle stated it <br />would be hard to determine what properties the lift station would <br />serve and the size of the lift station. Council Member Ryan noted <br />that he felt it is short-sited to look only at the present proposal. <br />11. City Clerk's Report <br />1..- Report received by Council. <br />11.1. Preliminary General Fund Lew and HRA Levy <br />The Clerk noted that at the last budget meeting on August 11, 2009, the <br />Council requested changes to the preliminary general fund budget and in <br />some instances, to some other non - general fund budgets. She stated that <br />these changes are reflected in the two attachments that were prepared by <br />Nancy Malecha. She noted that these revisions reflect a revised general <br />fund levy of $1,527,690 which is a 3.51% increase from the 2009 levy. <br />This number reflects a $59,510 decrease from the proposed levy <br />presented at the August 11th Council meeting. <br />The Clerk explained that the City will not know how this affects the City tax <br />rate until sometime in mid to end September. <br />The Clerk noted that the Council had some budget action items to be <br />further discussed. These items are listed in the August 11th minutes. She <br />noted that these items will be discussed by the Council in either October <br />or November prior to setting the final levy. <br />The Clerk stated that the HRA Levy has not changed from 2009. <br />M <br />
