Alyx stated she spoke with the Iowa Department of Management and since the city’s non-TIF taxable value only grew by 1.36% from FY25 to FY26, the city is allowed to keep the same CGFL tax rate in FY26 as it had in FY25 and grow the CGFL revenue by 1.36%. Additionally, the city would have to have grown by at least 2.75% before a limitation would be put in place. Thoughts and ideas regarding departmental budgets, street repairs, tree removal, property maintenance on city buildings, various contracts, and revenue generating possibilities were shared. The council did not want to discuss the budget for wages until all members of the city council could be present. 4. Adjourn Having no further business to conduct, K.
