Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The council has the authority to lower the levy between now and December, but cannot exceed the preliminary amount set. Interim City Administrator Devin Ceglar recommended the 15% preliminary levy, noting that the council still has time to refine the final numbers.
