Johnson reiterated what she stated at Council's <br />last discussion. She asked that residents look at <br />their own tax liability. "At an average of $15 to <br />$20.......which comes to about $.35 a week, I <br />think you are receiving more than that in <br />services." "Also, I don't think you should hang <br />the school districts proposed increase over our <br />heads." <br />Leary asked to speak on the issue of a use tax. <br />"If we were to go to a use tax, the impact on our <br />households would be about 50-100$ greater than <br />this 2 mill increase. It shifts it all to the <br />household. It takes it away from the industrial <br />commercial base. We can't sit and argue that we <br />need growth in here in the industrial and <br />commercial area so that we get more tax base if we <br />aren't going to collect taxes from these people. <br />Going to 8 or 9 mills is still very competitive." <br />Morris spoke briefly stating that no one likes any <br />kind on tax increases. I moved to Louisville for <br />a very specific quality,of life that I feel is <br />very very important to me. Very much of that <br />quality of life is the services that are provided <br />by the City, by the s choo 1 s a s we 11. I am wi 1 1 ing <br />to pa+y for those things that are important in my <br />quality of life. I am not so naive to think that <br />I can request those services and not give up my <br />time, my energy and my pocketbook. And although I <br />don't like to do it, I feel that there is just no <br />option at this point." <br />Mayor Meier stated that most things he felt were <br />already stated. "I think that the citizens on <br />November 5th have, somewhat of an option. This <br />Council has stated before that if the sales tax <br />question does pass, this Council would drop the <br />property tax. That is one other option. A sales <br />tax will let a lot of other people from the County <br />pay fora lot of the capital improvements. It is <br />something at least to consider." <br />Mayor Meier movec~ that the Public Hearing for the <br />proposed property tax increase be continued to a <br />Special Council Meeting set for Wednesday, October <br />30, 1985, at 7:45 p.m. Cussen seconded. <br />Unanimous. <br />~~Ot~Tio~ g~6 _ TAy, LL+~IY FOR 1995 <br />1~ ~ ppTION OF 1986 BUDGET <br />'~~Ot u~I~~ ~~p'1 - ~ 86 LONDS AYYILO4RIATION <br />y Q~ R~'~' ~ IMQRO~~~T 4ROGRAM <br />aES~v~TI, of ~A4I~AL <br />
