These are as follows: <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />An ordinance to re-establish the Real Estate tax rate at <br />the current $1.22 amount as well as Tangible Personal <br />Property and Machinery and Tool taxes also at their <br />present levels. <br /> <br />¢) <br /> <br />An ordinance establishing new rates for Business, <br />Professional and Occupational license taxes. This year I <br />am recommendinG the rolling back of two categories <br />pursuant to State law. This required tax reduction will <br />cost an estimated $26,000 in revenue durinG the FY 1989 <br />year. <br /> <br />d) <br /> <br />An ordinance increasing the tax on each cigarette sold in <br />the City from 7 1/2 mills to 10 mills. This increase <br />amounts to a 5 cents increase (15 cents to 20 cents) on a <br />standard package of 20 cigarettes. <br /> <br />e) An ordinance increaslnG the tax on motor vehicles by <br /> S3.00 per year. <br /> <br />f) <br /> <br />An ordinance establishinG a $.40 (forty cents) per month <br />fee on telephone service. This amount will permit the <br />payment for the installation and maintenance of the <br />Enhanced 911 (E-911) emergency direct dialing system <br />within the City. <br /> <br /> In addition to the ordinances that require twO readings, I am <br />submitting several budgetary companion ordinances that will modify <br />fees, Charges for services and other ordinances~ The most <br />significant of these, have been highlighted in my budget message <br />and in my oral presentation of my proposed budget to the Council. <br />These budget companion ordinances are as follows: <br /> <br />Residential collection and disposal of trash is beinG <br />recommended to be increased from $5.00 per month to $6.00 <br />per month with corresponding increases in the collection <br />and disposal of business refuse. I am recommendinG that <br />we continue with the twice a week pick-up that our <br />citizens currently enjoy. - <br /> <br /> <br />
