Becker, Finance Director DATE: August 29, 2013 SUBJECT: 2013 Millage Levy Recommendation: City staff recommends that City Council approve the millage levy ordinance approving the 0.4 mils for the Policemen's Pension and Relief Fund, 0.4 mils for the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund, 1.0 mils for the Fayetteville Public Library, and 1.3 mils for 2014 General Fund operations. This will continue the some millage as levied last year. Background: Each year the City must approve an ordinance to renew the levy of ad valorem taxes on real and personal property within the City. This request will provide for such levy on property assessed during 2013. The total assessed value of real and personal property located within the city limits of Fayetteville, as of July 30, 2013, is approximately $1.314 billion. The assessed valuation is before the Washington County Board of Equalization has made all the changes to the County Assessors Abstract. Based on the preliminary assessments, the growth in real property assessments is approximately 1.36% as of July 30, 2013. Discussion: A millage levy ordinance must be approved by City Council in order for the City to continue to collect property taxes for the Policemen's Pension and Relief Fund and the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund. The millage levy for the Policemen's Pension and Relief Fund is 0.4 mils for real property and 0.4 mils on personal property. The millage levy for the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund is 0.4 mils for real property and 0.4 mils on personal property as was approved by referendum. A millage levy ordinance must be approved for the operation of the Fayetteville Public Library and that was approved by the voters on October 1, 2002. The millage levy for the Fayetteville Public Library is 1.0 mils for real property and 1.0 mils on personal property. Finally, City staff is requesting that City Council approve a millage levy ordinance for General Fund operations in the amount of 1.3 mils for both real and personal property.
