The major ingredients causing this increase are: 1. A 5% increase in police and fire wages and the attendant increase in retirement expense j 2. A proposed new fire station 3. A proposed redevelopment bond issue in the amount of $950,000 4. An increase of one -half cent in the tax levy for the art association 5. 1967 city election expenses in the amount of $151,645 The total of these items exeeds the increase reflected in the budget. This total was materially reduced by reductions in other areas . that have been affected, including the transfer of the sewer department. In the initial tax rate computation, unexpended balances as used do not reflect the total reductions that will occur. Thus, the increase in the tax rate, which is presently computed at 15.9 cents, will be materially reduced in the final computation. The net reduction in tax base of 3 million dollars by virtue of the exemption of household goods is also an important factor in the tax levy. Your administration believes this budget to be a most realistic proposal to meet the needs of a growing city. The percentage of increase in this proposed budget, including the rather substantial and much needed increases of salaries and e wa es still is less than the wages, percentage of increase in. the cost of goods and labor and materials in the national economy.
