“To comply with the law, I need to read the following text at this point in time. This is an announcement. State law requires that the city hold a public hearing on the city's budget. City Council considered the budget during several work sessions and council meetings starting in February of 2026. This is the second public hearing on the city's proposed fiscal year 2026-2027 annual budget, which begins on October 1 of 2026 and extends through September 30th of 2027. The first public hearing on the budget was held on September 1st, 2026. The proposed budget has been on file in the city clerk's…”

“Okay. I just want to make note and ask a question because I pulled these stormwater rates from the consent agenda because I want to talk about them and we might change them, so What's going to happen if we finish this budget and it gets approved and then we change those rates? Are we going to need to come back to this? Yeah, that's my question.”

“Well, that's why I'm wondering, I'll go ahead and do the public hearing is if maybe we ought to, as we have a time or two, but this aside,”

“All right. Thank you. Very much. And hold on a second. I got to say something even before you read that. All right. The next item, item 16, is not a public hearing, but we must complete item 16 before we can proceed to item 17 for which there is a public hearing.”

“Okay, and to comply with the law. I need to read the following text, which is what I just said. But this is the formal one. Although item 16 is not a public hearing, we're taking it up now before the tax rate item number 17 is required by state law. State law requires a separate action to ratify the property tax revenue increase reflected in the budget when more revenue will be raised from property taxes than in the previous fiscal year. This item is not a public hearing. Presentation on item 16. Is that correct, or do we need to?”

“So this has been read, but I don't have a motion or a second yet cause we haven't had a presentation or I've opened the public hearing. So we're just going to set this aside totally. and then we can come back to it. We'll just start over with 16?”
