The current city council is considering a 1% increase for 2021, after setting the preliminary levy at a 4% increase in September. But changes to the budget since that time include final cost estimates on health insurance renewal rates, a change in the structure of health insurance plans offered, and the decision not to replace outgoing Parks and Recreation Director Tony Sailer. The city will test out an interim public works department for a year, with City Engineer Paul Sandy as the department head and one less full-time salary to pay without hiring a new parks director. For a perfectly balanced budget, the council could reduce the levy by $98,402 over 2020. The 1% increase would add $60,724 to the budget.
