[0:03] No, it's a
[1:43] » Will you walk with me
[1:46] on the street? Turn
[2:46] » Okay, I'll go ahead and call tonight's R&R budget hearing
[2:49] um meeting for Tuesday, September 8, 2026 together
[2:54] uh >> [clears throat]
[2:55] » to order and remind everybody the reason that we're here, of course, is the R&R
[3:00] hearing and budget hearing for 2027's budget.
[3:05] Um With that, I will transition right away
[3:10] to opening the hearing for R&R uh
[3:15] the revenue neutral rate
[3:19] which currently the revenue neutral rate is 84.005
[3:23] mills the uh
[3:28] rate before everybody is 87.284 mills
[3:34] um down from last year's, which was 88.163
[3:38] mills. So, with that being open, I'll remind
[3:43] everybody if anybody would like to speak in regarding or to the R&R, you do have,
[3:49] since this This a hearing, 5 minutes to address the council on anything. I would
[3:54] ask that you if you would like to speak regarding the revenue neutral rate,
[4:00] please kind of stand and that way I know who's wanting to do that. And when you
[4:04] come up, please state your name, address,
[4:07] and then I will start that timer for you in that. So,
[4:12] R&R hearing is open. Do we have anyone who wishes to speak regarding the
[4:18] revenue neutral rate? If you'd like to
[4:24] » Hello. >> Come to the podium, state your name and
[4:27] address for the record, please.
[4:32] » Um my name is Ashley Mitchell. And I am here actually, I don't know if
[4:37] it's Can you state your address too, please? Oh, yeah. Um 206 East 13th here
[4:42] in Pleasanton. Um I don't really know if I'm against
[4:46] the revenue neutral or for it. All I know is that I am a citizen and my taxes
[4:52] have tripled in the last 4 years. And um
[4:57] it's time for it to stop. We're not seeing any benefits.
[5:03] I just think that it's just time for it to stop for a while. Give us a break.
[5:07] I know elderly people that can't even be here to speak for themselves. They can't
[5:13] can't pay their taxes. They're they're going to lose
[5:17] their homes. Pleasanton is losing what we were built
[5:21] off of. Who we know.
[5:25] Because the taxes are getting so high that people cannot afford to live here.
[5:30] Um I think that's super important for everybody to remember. I don't just come
[5:34] and talk anytime. I do voice my opinion often,
[5:38] but I don't come and speak often. And I think that people have
[5:44] done something with money in the past to where whether it's on purpose or not on
[5:50] purpose, we don't know. We just are here and we get the end. It's either the good
[5:56] end or the bad end. And lately we've been getting a pretty bad end.
[6:00] And it's not fair to us, the people of Pleasanton that truly do
[6:05] care. So, I'm just asking you guys to not
[6:10] heighten these taxes because we need to live here.
[6:15] I thought I was going to live here my entire life, but if these taxes keep
[6:19] going up like this, I'm going to move. And I know for a fact I'm not the only
[6:24] one. I mean, we need people in Pleasanton.
[6:28] You guys want us to pay our taxes, you want the taxpayers to pay, you have to
[6:32] have people. You're going to lose people
[6:35] if this keeps happening. And that's all I really wanted to say
[6:39] today. So, thank you.
[6:42] » Thank you.
[6:51] » You ready?
[7:01] » Hi. My name is Robert Woody. I live
[7:06] at um 601 East Park Street. I never really
[7:09] know what to do with my hat, so I'm going to put it right there.
[7:12] Uh I understand that this goes out on YouTube and uh whoever
[7:19] cares to listen to it can listen to it. So, before I get started, there's
[7:22] something that I want to say. Hi, Mom.
[7:28] Like the um speaker before me, and then I'm coming
[7:31] before you as citizen of the of Pleasanton, your your
[7:35] constituent, a taxpayer, uh
[7:40] someone who has always >> [sighs]
[7:41] » worked on the philosophy that each one of you who are sitting on this
[7:46] council here because you wanted to be. Mr. Mayor, you're there where you're at
[7:50] because you wanted to be. Um, and I'm sure you had a vision of what
[7:54] you would like to accomplish. Uh, but the issue tonight is property
[7:59] tax and because of the limited time, I just
[8:02] wanted to come off right off the bat and say I cannot support
[8:07] an increase in the revenue for it. Um,
[8:12] the trend of property taxes
[8:16] uh, here in Linn County has been
[8:20] upward upward
[8:24] upward several thousand dollars, um, that some of us pay,
[8:30] um, to the county.
[8:32] Um, and I I I I say this with with some
[8:36] trepidation because well, I don't really understand
[8:42] uh, the uh,
[8:44] the the things that you all face when trying to put together a budget and and
[8:48] running the city and all the things you have to do with the resources you have
[8:54] to live with. I acknowledge that that is a serious
[8:58] problem for you. But, the trend line we see on property
[9:03] taxes in our in our state and in our county
[9:07] is just going up and up and up and one of these days, whether it's this year or
[9:11] next year or the year after, you're going to get to the point where
[9:16] you're just going to be out of other people's money.
[9:18] People are either not going to be able to
[9:22] or they just won't do it. Um,
[9:26] we'll become like what my future probably holds for me,
[9:31] a future, um, property tax refugee. Um, if I can live in a state that is
[9:39] going to cost me two or three thousand dollars less a year, a retired person,
[9:43] my wife is sick, we're going to go where it's easier to
[9:48] live. So, um
[9:52] that is an issue. And you know, it's kind of funny in my I did some research
[9:55] for Mine Creek and [laughter] I ran across a uh an article in the in the
[10:00] Pleasant Observer in 1968 that said property taxes in Kansas are too high.
[10:07] That was a long time ago. And then, you know, so we're still
[10:10] talking about the same thing. Um
[10:15] I um understand uh the way that the system
[10:19] works here in Kansas, and I could have it wrong,
[10:22] that while the state excess established the the the uh assessment rate,
[10:30] uh it's up to the county to do the assessment, and then it's up to local
[10:36] governments or anyone who is going to receive property tax money to
[10:42] get together, work out a budget, and then try to figure out how much they're
[10:46] going to need the next year. Citizens
[10:50] in Linn County, myself, folks in this room, besides being able
[10:55] to stand up in front of you and say something, have absolutely no control
[11:00] what you all do, what you all vote for. Now, again, I could be wrong, but I've
[11:04] I've been studying this, and um
[11:08] it is really at two two a point now where I believe personally, this is just
[11:12] from my own heart, this is not and this is not anything,
[11:16] but I I really believe personally that if we as citizens of our county are
[11:21] going to get any relief from property taxes, we're going to have to look to
[11:26] the state to get them. Um
[11:29] you all are faced with problems. I'm sure you have a shrinking
[11:33] at least a stagnant or maybe even a shrinking tax base that you have to work
[11:37] with. You need money. It's got to come from somewhere. I understand that.
[11:42] But, I just want to let you know from my heart
[11:46] and just to speak for my friends around me and the people that I know every day
[11:50] and I go to church with and do this and do that.
[11:53] It's getting to the point where we are not going to be able to sustain
[11:59] that particular system for very much longer. Thank you very much. You all
[12:03] have a great day. Thank you.
[12:09] » [clears throat] [laughter]
[12:27] » My name is Carolyn Bolton and I live at 1205 Walnut Street.
[12:31] And I'm one of those old people that live here that really can't afford for
[12:36] my taxes to go up. I live on social security.
[12:40] Our water just went up because the water system went down.
[12:45] Uh and now the taxes are going to go up and I work part-time just to have to pay
[12:48] my taxes. So, I just hope you guys can figure out
[12:53] something that will rework the system and the budget so that maybe you won't
[12:57] have to raise our taxes again this year. Thank you.
[13:18] » Tuesday Stark, 759 Maple. Um
[13:23] I just want to make sure am I seeing this correctly that the budget for '26
[13:27] is like 2 and 1/2 million and you're wanting to spend over 4
[13:31] million next year. Am I seeing that right?
[13:37] Um and I just want to echo them. This has got to stop.
[13:41] It's got to stop. I'm looking at probably writing a $5,000 check at tax
[13:45] time this year. Anybody want to pay that for me?
[13:50] Uh this week we're here. Next week uh the school is also holding a hearing as
[13:56] far as I know. And the county is also.
[14:00] Everybody.
[14:03] It's got to stop. Um
[14:07] I just I don't know what else to say. It's It's just You're just
[14:11] running as ragged here trying to pay property taxes.
[14:15] And it's got to stop.
[14:42] » [cough and clears throat]
[14:54] » Go ahead. >> Terry Tucker. I live at 1402 Maple
[14:59] Street and I just want to say that I do agree with everything that's been said
[15:03] tonight that um you know, it's we can't keep paying what
[15:07] we're going to pay if it keeps going up and up because
[15:11] myself, I'm on Social Security retired. And everything goes up, you know, and we
[15:16] just can't do it. And I have actually spoke to my husband about if it
[15:21] keeps doing it, we're to have to move, too.
[15:23] We'll just move to a town or a state that's uh cheaper to live.
[15:29] So, if there's anything you can do to not raise taxes, we would appreciate it.
[15:34] Thank you.
[16:25] » Anybody else?
[16:32] Okay. >> Yes, but it would take more than 5
[16:34] minutes. >> [laughter]
[16:38] » Okay. Uh anybody else want to speak into the uh revenue neutral rate?
[16:44] Okay, then I will officially call that hearing closed.
[16:48] Turn to normal meeting. Um before I open up the budget hearing
[16:54] portion, I do want to kind of for those that have the budget in front of them,
[17:00] like the notice of hearing that's there. Uh
[17:04] one of the things there is like in the third portion where the numbers are,
[17:10] where you get to that um little bit higher net expenditures and
[17:16] so forth. I want to point out that the 1% street tax street sales tax
[17:21] expenditure is listed in there and that's raising the overall expenditures
[17:28] as well as the consolidated streets has more in it than in prior years because
[17:34] of the intent of the council to actually use those funds
[17:38] within 2027. Those had to be included within the budget portion. So, that's
[17:44] going to make it seem like "Oh, wow. We're wanting to spend double
[17:49] what is normal." And that's not collecting double what is normal. That's
[17:53] spending the funds that have been gathered so that we can use those for
[17:57] the fixing of the streets and etc. Cuz it has to be kind of worked
[18:01] into the budget within that for it to be done
[18:05] correctly. So, that's why you might notice some of
[18:09] that is a little bit higher [clears throat]
[18:14] double higher for totals.
[18:26] And and then with that, I will officially call the 2027 budget hearing
[18:30] open.
[18:33] Would anyone like to speak into the 2027 budget?
[18:36] » Well, I I just had a question. Um we're
[18:39] talking about the street budget, but it doesn't seem like any of our streets
[18:44] ever get fixed. So, I don't know what's going on with that.
[18:48] » That That would be addressed at the next council meeting.
[18:51] » Okay.
[18:56] Before we go on, just a matter um can you tell me if the GAAP waiver has
[19:03] been um the resolution has been passed for this year?
[19:10] » GAAP >> Yeah, it's the
[19:13] um generally accepted accounting principle.
[19:16] It's a resolution that needs to be passed.
[19:19] » Okay. >> Has it been passed yet for this year?
[19:26] » The general Okay.
[19:28] » Generally accepted accounting principles.
[19:30] » GAAP Yeah.
[19:33] » Has it been passed? >> I'm not sure off the top
[19:35] » Well, I'm not I don't I mean it's a violation if we do not pass it. So, we
[19:41] need to pass it before we even vote on the uh budget. So, have you Can you go
[19:45] look to see if it's been uh brought up?
[19:49] Or anything? Cuz we need to pass it.
[19:53] So. Because it's I mean it's really
[19:56] important that our we pass it. >> Morgan
[20:00] Can you look at the resolution that >> Yeah.
[20:06] » What is it titled? >> It's the
[20:08] » GAAP waiver >> Yeah, the waiver.
[20:11] » Mhm.
[20:14] » Cuz it's a it'll be a direct violation and then it's the
[20:17] uh
[20:21] The state law specifically the Kansas budget law KSA 79-2925
[20:27] and KSA 75-1120 uh um
[20:32] says it's a violation if we do not pass it.
[20:35] So, we have to pass it. >> Okay, so when is it normally passed?
[20:40] » January through uh March the first uh part of the year.
[20:44] » Okay. So, is it something that's quarterly?
[20:47] » No, it's yearly. >> It's yearly?
[20:48] » Mhm. And it was passed in uh '25, but this has not been passed this year.
[21:00] So.
[21:06] And also the I noticed that the new deal bond is not fit on the
[21:11] um the budget and the water rate raises
[21:16] um is not listed either.
[21:28] » Is the assumption your CPAs are using GAAP?
[21:33] » Is the what?
[21:35] » Is your assumption that the CPAs you prepared this are not using GAAP?
[21:40] » If they we have to hire somebody and it's a lot
[21:44] of money if we um hire the amounts and so
[21:48] um it's just recommended that our small a small town there really
[21:53] go to work. >> I'm not seeing anything.
[22:00] » I don't think it's been passed. This year.
[22:03] » Has it ever been passed?
[22:06] » Um
[22:08] Could someone call for a recess so we can
[22:11] » Make a motion for a 10-minute recess. >> Can I second?
[22:24] » All in favor.
[22:29] We return at 6:31.
[22:40] » [clears throat]
[22:46] » I don't.
[22:58] We need to Did you get what number wrote.
[23:01] » No, I didn't. I didn't.
[23:08] They usually pass it when they pass all the other boards.
[23:15] The auditor tells you what accounting principle
[23:18] they Everybody usually gets it. It shows
[23:22] Everybody usually gets it. And it shows if you can pass the
[23:26] resolution that says make the They must use GAAP.
[23:30] » After I read about this, I stopped reading.
[23:31] » But they're already using it. I mean
[23:42] » [laughter] >> That doesn't take an easy guess.
[23:47] Yeah, we're using GAAP.
[23:54] » Usually they are when they do all the like newspaper format and same format.
[23:59] » That's all they want you to do.
[24:06] Otherwise, you know, you're
[24:11] It prevents cooking the books, so to speak. I get that.
[24:15] But it's purely accounting principle that
[24:19] they use. >> Well, the county was on cash.
[24:24] » Yeah. >> 2 years ago when that report was done.
[24:35] » No, maybe it's just cash.
[24:39] No, I didn't hear you.
[24:44] Right?
[24:51] Right?
[24:57] Right? >> I don't know if it's not GAAP.
[25:10] » That's what I thought, too. For 100,000 increase.
[25:18] Well, 34.15.
[25:27] Oh, oh, I'm sure. This is the difference of this.
[25:31] Okay, I hear you. 70% 70% 4.05
[25:37] » Who is this? I got to stay on my phone out the door.
[26:21] » That's a 40.6% increase.
[26:26] » With the increase in property valuation plus the increase in mill rate
[26:32] is a 40% increase in people's taxes. >> I'm not sure what the one is.
[26:39] Okay, 39. What's that?
[26:42] » [laughter]
[26:45] » You said 1% didn't you? >> Yeah, but it
[26:48] it saves every every month for you. >> Okay, got you.

[31:52] » The assessed value was 19670. Okay, what do you want to count for
[31:57] » If you found it, I would like to see a copy before I write it down cuz I don't
[32:00] know if
[32:15] » Can you make a copy of the last one, please?
[32:18] » One for everybody? >> Yes, please.
[32:20] » That's good.
[32:43] » [cough and clears throat]
[33:48] » Okay, recess is extended. We're resuming meeting um
[33:53] in the middle of the budget hearing at this moment. And the question came up
[33:56] about the GAAP. Um that waiver is uh we looked at the
[34:01] several the last several several several that have been done, and it is done in
[34:05] December of each year for that year.
[34:10] » But yours I mean if we don't if we don't pass it,
[34:15] we cannot pass the budget without me without it having a resolution,
[34:19] the waiver. And so, it's and we have to pass it or it sits the budget sits as it
[34:25] is. >> Okay, the GAAP
[34:28] is passed each year in December for the current year.
[34:31] » Well, I mean Cuz it cuz the budget is not complete
[34:37] as right now cuz it does not have the new Geo bond on it and it doesn't have a
[34:41] water raise on it. So, the budget is not complete.
[34:45] Cuz we've already done the water raise. This is
[34:47] » Okay, so the budget itself is separate from the GAAP.
[34:52] Which is an accounting process. >> Well, it's
[34:55] » And the GAAP is passed every year for that year in December.
[34:59] » Uh-huh. >> Now, the budget itself um
[35:03] grants uh it does not have those two items that were just added um
[35:09] not even added yet because the loan hasn't processed fully.
[35:13] The Geo bond has not processed fully yet for it.
[36:19] » You've reached the cell phone of Jeff Dean with Longview School. Please leave
[36:23] your name, number, and a brief message unless this is about a traffic or the
[36:28] prosecution and this is about one of those matters,
[36:31] please leave your message at my office. The number there is 816-525-7881,
[36:38] extension 13. Thank you.
[36:43] » At the tone, please record your message. When you've finished recording, you may
[36:46] hang up or press one for more options. >> Praise the Lord, this is Matthew Young,
[36:51] mayor of Pleasanton, and we are in the meeting in the middle of the budget
[36:55] hearing and we have a legal question for you. If you could please give me a call.
[37:00] 417-846-3674.
[37:03] Thank you. God bless.
[37:45] » [snorts] >> Okay, other than the new geo bonds and
[37:48] the water rate increase that is not showing on this budget that will one
[37:52] will cancel the other out within that. Uh
[37:56] anybody want to speak into the budget as far as the hearing portion goes?
[38:10] Seeing that there are no speakers in regards to the 2027 budget hearing, um I
[38:15] will declare the hearing portion closed.
[38:22] And move towards um
[38:25] the resolution for the city council to look at as far as exceeding revenue
[38:31] neutral rates.
[39:57] » So, what do you need us to do? >> Um what we need a motion to adopt
[40:02] resolution 479 to exceed revenue neutral rates.
[40:08] » Do we want to do that before we have clarification?
[40:13] » Um >> Okay. I can't find anywhere in the
[40:15] Cannabis Statute that states this has to be done immediately.
[40:19] » The what? >> The GAAP needs to be done immediately.
[40:21] » The GAAP? The GAAP is is done at the end of each year.
[40:27] Yeah, it's done annually. Uh it's typically the It just needs to be done
[40:30] before the the audit is done.
[40:36] Because the audit will be based on whether it's done in accordance to GAAP
[40:40] or if the GAAP regulations have been waived. The city
[40:44] our size typically waives those because we don't have any assets expenditure
[40:48] balance that's done in an form of accounting that way. We typically have
[40:53] the audit that is then done and presented.
[41:02] So, in in respect to I do understand that in this budget that is before
[41:07] everybody, it does not show the water rate increase and it does not show the
[41:14] new geo bond that we do not have in in fullness yet.
[41:19] Um I'm not sure to what degree that would
[41:22] play on the budget itself since
[41:26] if we did pass this budget now and got the geo bond in October or November, it
[41:32] would still apply to the following year and not be within the scope of the
[41:36] budget itself. Whether that means coming around and having to present a new
[41:41] budget with those alterations that really covered their own expenses or not
[41:47] would be something that we would need clarification on itself. As far as the
[41:50] rest of the budget, I don't know that we have any issue with continuing forward
[41:54] with it.
[42:05] » [clears throat]
[42:15] » But we don't know if that's going to make a difference.
[42:17] » It won't raise our mill rate. >> It won't raise.
[42:19] » It won't change the mill levy because the water rates change changes the
[42:23] internal water rates and does not affect the mills at all since none of the mills
[42:27] go towards the water. >> So our revenue neutral was 84.005.
[42:36] » Yes. >> Um last year the mill levy was 88.163.
[42:44] And this year it's going to be 87.284.
[42:50] So it's actually come down from last year.
[42:56] » Yes. >> No, your values have gone up.
[42:59] » Um and and therein lies the thing itself because the the mill levy last year was
[43:06] 88. Uh this this for this year 88. And we're looking at for 2027's
[43:14] um 87, which seems like it goes down. But if you go back
[43:19] five or six years, the the levy rate was 90 and people were paying less
[43:25] because the problem or the difference is is people's valuation is going up.
[43:28] » It's almost a 30% increase. >> Yes.
[43:32] » Just the proposed. >> And that's been the biggest issue. We
[43:35] talked to the county because the city does not set the value of your property.
[43:39] Uh people that work for the county do. The people that work for the county are
[43:43] given uh she's hiding. >> [laughter]
[43:47] » The people that work for the county there are given um
[43:51] a list of what they're supposed to look at, how they're supposed to look at, and
[43:54] how they're supposed to evaluate these things. And apart from knocking on every
[43:58] door and walking into every house, they have to assess from the way it looks and
[44:04] seems, the way the the the layout of it is from the outside, the approximate
[44:08] square footage of it, what buildings you have, what other structures you have on
[44:13] it, and all those things they mark off their list, and they put all that
[44:17] together, and they take it back, and put all that into the computer, and the
[44:20] computer says, "Estimated value." And it it's just
[44:24] skyrocketing. Um I myself know that from 1985 to 2025,
[44:30] the prices or the valuation of homes has gone up over 300%.
[44:35] Meanwhile, the the income that people make is only gone up 53%.
[44:40] Uh that's a terrible thing, and it is statewide, it is countrywide, and it's
[44:46] terrible. And it's one of those cases we can't
[44:49] blame the people that are doing the the valuations because they are hired
[44:54] for a job to say, "How big is it? What is there?
[44:58] Etc. etc." They do that, and then it spits out Uh it's it is really on a
[45:03] state level that this is coming all the way down to us is what those evaluations
[45:07] are. Uh what we do have control over here as
[45:10] much as possible is the the budget of the city and what we need to operate,
[45:17] and that is getting even more difficult because just like you know, everything
[45:22] is going up in cost. And when it costs more to fix things, more money is needed
[45:27] to fix things, and that becomes just a big long
[45:32] process. I remember back when they were saying that they wanted to pay
[45:35] McDonald's workers $15 an hour, and they could do that by raising the price of a
[45:39] cheeseburger 15 cents. The problem with raising the price of a
[45:43] cheeseburger 15 cents is everybody before the cheeseburger wants 15 cents
[45:46] raised also, and that made our cheeseburger from 67 cents to I think
[45:51] it's $3 now. Um so just budget-wise, I know that is a
[45:56] very difficult thing within itself, and we're trying to do our best to cut.
[46:02] I mean, I know this council sat here toiling over a lot of it to cut as much
[46:07] as possible and trim down and continuously saying we've got to get it
[46:11] lower. And we're not done because setting the budget doesn't mean we're
[46:15] going to spend every dime of that, either. We want to continue to look at
[46:18] every department and cut all the unnecessary things from those
[46:22] departments as we can. Um even if we look at prior years, uh the police
[46:27] department for 2020 um five was un- went under budget, which is good. That's what
[46:33] we want. Each department that comes in at the end of the year under budget,
[46:37] that's what we want because that was money that wasn't spent and didn't have
[46:40] to be spent. Um giving us positions to be able to
[46:44] change some of that a little bit more. I hope that helps.
[46:48] » Have you looked at having the sh- SO
[46:52] provide police for Pleasanton instead of Pleasanton?
[46:59] We do it in Miami County. >> As far as what?
[47:02] » We the sheriff's office >> Uh-huh.
[47:05] » takes over the policing for a city.
[47:09] But the the city pays the sh- SO to do it and typically it's a lot less than
[47:16] having your own agency. >> It can be. Um I can tell you that that
[47:21] is one of the things that's um is currently being looked into to see what
[47:25] the value of that actually would be. >> Cuz you got to have prior police you
[47:29] want to have citizens or businesses. >> Yeah.
[47:32] » Right? >> Yeah.
[47:34] » And so >> So I know that's um everyone that sits
[47:38] up here on the governing body has been looking into every potential in every
[47:41] way at trying to come up with a better way to do a lot of things to in-
[47:46] decrease the taxes because none of us want to be taxed more than we have to
[47:50] be. >> Right.
[47:52] » I agree with that. I think the biggest problem that we all have is that we have
[47:57] the highest taxes in the municipality. And we are seeing the least.
[48:02] » Yes. >> That is why everybody is so upset. I
[48:05] mean, my taxes personally went from the day that I moved in, $530
[48:11] to over $2,400 for a two-bedroom home.
[48:16] » Yeah. >> How is that okay?
[48:19] » I feel I feel your pain. I've lived here for 12 years.
[48:22] And I own a house up on 706 Main, right on Main Street. And my taxes have gone
[48:27] up just like everybody else's. And believe me,
[48:30] all of us sitting here, we understand it. I mean, but the county imposes what
[48:36] they impose on all of us. And I mean, our ain't the highest, too.
[48:39] » But why are ours the highest? Why is Pleasanton key
[48:43] » That's something we need to take up with the state because the state handles that
[48:46] stuff down here. >> That sounds like it would be city if
[48:49] it's the city that's the highest. So
[48:52] » But the state tax for every city is equal.
[48:55] » It doesn't change. It needs to be reviewed.
[48:58] » Right. But they impose it to the county and the county hands out the
[49:01] » Right. >> Can I add to that? Mayor, I asked
[49:05] somebody So >> [clears throat and cough]
[49:09] » So, how it works is like we come to your house and working as the appraiser's
[49:13] office, we come and we measure your house, we measure everything you have
[49:16] outside, and then we take it back. Like he said, we put it in the computer and
[49:19] it does that. And so then it spits out an evaluation, your assessed value of
[49:24] whatever your house is. So, you have a $100,000 house, just saying. You know
[49:27] what I mean? Like anybody, okay, you have a $100,000 house, and then you
[49:30] times that by the mill levy, which the mill levy isn't just based on what
[49:35] they're doing up here, it also comes from the school. It also comes from part
[49:39] of the county. And so it's like The part of that is is like
[49:45] I mean, if you're not asking all the questions to my office, like it's just
[49:49] overall everybody. Like if you're not coming in like, why is my property
[49:53] assessed at this value? And I do. >> Yeah, no, and I know that. You know,
[49:56] like, you can't say that, but like, if you're not coming and doing that, like,
[50:00] you know, but that's like the next step of help there, like
[50:04] » Unfortunately, like, we don't know if we can't go down much lower or we won't
[50:07] have a town. But, like, the assessed values
[50:12] There's like a thing that the county does and they
[50:16] my office does. Like, they'll look over like the whole
[50:19] thing and like, what's going on with the water right now? Like, does she need to
[50:22] reassess the value of Pleasanton, the whole town and the
[50:28] big poll to see if the values need to come down.
[50:31] So, it's definitely something that like everybody needs to start asking, like,
[50:36] why are our assessed values so high or when we don't have anything to show for
[50:40] it? >> Yes, but Pleasanton's city millage is
[50:43] one of the highest >> It is one of the highest, yes.
[50:46] But, it also comes with our school.
[50:50] » Yes, I agree. >> so it's
[50:53] unfortunately, all of that. >> As I said, I'm going to need a revenue
[50:55] neutral here. >> No, I agree. No, I agree. 100%.
[50:59] » [clears throat] >> Everybody is wanting to raise it the
[51:01] revenue neutral that was put in place to help
[51:05] property taxes not go up, but when >> Yes.
[51:11] But, assessed values >> keep raising it, the revenue neutral
[51:14] does no good. >> Yes, and it's also assessed values what
[51:18] the county does.
[51:21] Help into that.
[51:34] » You guys might not be able to answer the question. Does Power Great
[51:38] Stop. Wait, wait a minute. Power Great Lakes Inc. I thought
[51:42] their taxes were split up between the three for all the counties.
[51:46] » Just waiting for Just waiting to see what it is.
[51:48] » Just waiting to see what it is. No, [snorts] it's not true.
[51:52] » No, it's not true. >> It's not true.
[51:54] » No, I thought it was supposed to go to each city
[51:57] of the county.
[52:00] » That's not true. That basically what gets what gets the from the power plant
[52:04] is where it used to go to the county. And then and then the whole county
[52:08] Lacygne does not get any money from the power plant.
[52:12] Uh their not even their hospital board as a dollar comes.
[52:16] Uh but it's all you know, it's Lacygne power plant does not give any money to
[52:21] Lacygne or Linn Valley.
[52:23] » Just to the county. >> Just to the county.
[52:26] » Thank you. Right, with that so we got that. What about the Casey's
[52:31] here in town and the Ford dealership is that do they pay Linn County or
[52:35] Pleasanton? >> Pleasanton.
[52:37] » Are they in Pleasanton? >> Yes.
[52:40] Yeah.
[52:43] » Yeah, I mean is that revenue revenue that could be generated us by
[52:48] annexing those properties? I'm just asking.
[52:53] » I think they're already in the city.
[52:58] » They're in the city? >> Yeah, they're already inside Pleasanton.
[53:01] » Okay. >> They're inside city limits.
[53:06] » Okay, good. Then tell them to sell them to us.
[53:09] » [laughter] >> And I was going to actually mention that
[53:12] too. One of the things that some of the other cities around us they have more
[53:16] businesses which means they generate more tax revenue from sales tax. Without
[53:21] that then we're left needing more mill levies to equal the same tax rate or
[53:26] amount. So that makes us ask for more mill levies because we don't have as
[53:30] many businesses generating that sales tax. I would like to see more
[53:34] businesses. The problem is is a lot of the businesses that would like to come
[53:38] in they go, oh wow, look at the the mill levy tax is too high. Well, yes, but if
[53:43] you would come in, we could lower it because you would generate sales.
[53:47] Uh so, it's kind of a >> [clears throat]
[53:49] » So, so if you all adopt >> vicious cross-fixing.
[53:51] » If you all adopt this resolution, does that mean what we actually pay out
[53:56] of our pocket is going to be more?
[54:01] » What What do you mean? >> Are we actually going to be paying more
[54:04] money in tax if you all adopt the city of Pleasant, if you all adopt this
[54:08] resolution? >> Okay, so right now the current revenue
[54:10] neutral rate is set at 84.05. Uh we're looking at 87.284,
[54:17] which is really a three $3 per the thousand, $3.27 or $3.28
[54:23] $3.28 more per the thousand valuation of your
[54:27] home. >> So, is that a yes we will be paying
[54:29] » That would be more than the revenue neutral rate, yes, by $3 per the
[54:33] thousand. >> Combined with the valuation increase,
[54:36] this is going to be about almost 13%.
[54:43] » More than last year, it would be $3.27 more
[54:48] per thousand valuation. >> thousand
[54:52] » Yes. >> That is $3.
[54:55] » But your valuations But your valuations have taken about a 7% increase.
[55:00] » So, the Do what?
[55:02] » Your valuations have taken with this increase.
[55:07] » Yes. >> Property valuations have gone up.
[55:11] And by the time you take that with the numbers you're talking about, it's it's
[55:15] almost a 13% increase. >> It It really wouldn't be. So, revenue
[55:20] neutral rate, the 84.005 is equal to last year's valuation at 88
[55:27] mills. So, where last year the city got 88
[55:32] mills, 88.163,
[55:36] the equal amount of taxes for city taxes that you would pay
[55:42] um would have paid at 88.163, the equal amount to that for this coming
[55:48] year would be 84.005 [clears throat] mill levy rate.
[55:54] » I understand what you're saying, but you're doing the
[55:58] that's like an apple and an orange. That's like I have 11 fingers, 10 9 8 7
[56:02] 6 and 5 is 11. It doesn't work that way. And so by taking this increase over
[56:08] here, and your mill levy rate changing,
[56:14] » And >> you're picking up this value plus the
[56:17] mill levy rate. If you If you kept it at 100,000 and did that to the mill levy
[56:22] rate, I'm not screaming. But this one up
[56:27] » Yeah. >> almost 9%
[56:30] right? And cumulatively, when you take the mill
[56:34] levy, it's almost a 13% increase. >> Net.
[56:38] » It wouldn't be. Um because the exact
[56:42] Okay, now here's here's >> [laughter]
[56:44] » Um the way the revenue neutral rate works is the total valuation for the
[56:50] city >> Oh, I see what you're saying.
[56:52] » went up. That includes everybody's house.
[56:56] So to pay the exact same amount revenue So revenue neutral rate for the
[57:01] total valuation for the city was right here.
[57:05] So this is the revenue neutral rate. This is how much money we got last year.
[57:08] If we keep it at that exact at the revenue neutral rate, we would get the
[57:12] exact same amount of money. >> Mhm.
[57:15] » Okay? Not everybody will get the same tax bill because even though the the
[57:21] city went up a certain percent, each individual house
[57:26] changed in that percentage increase also.
[57:31] And that's where you're saying that you have that difference there because your
[57:34] evaluation went up different than somebody else's valuation.
[57:39] But overall, to go above revenue neutral rate, really from the amount that was
[57:44] taken in last year of the at revenue neutral rates,
[57:50] we're talking about a $31,000 increase to the [clears throat] city budget for
[57:54] next year from this year.
[57:56] Uh that 30 $31,000 is all the budget's going up.
[58:00] Uh
[58:03] that's almost frightening because if you consider uh
[58:07] the cost of living increase, any type of pay increase, or anything else, $31,000
[58:12] is not really enough to cover it. Um
[58:16] so, but the council uh has been working really hard to try to
[58:21] get that down to as low as possible for that. But I do understand, it is it
[58:26] is your increased property uh then the mill levy
[58:31] increase, $3 and something more per uh
[58:34] mill on that valuation.
[58:39] Which is an interesting
[58:42] math equation in itself because the total value of your property uh times
[58:49] you would 11% of that is how many mills, then you divide that by 1,000, and then
[58:54] you take that number, and you multiply it by the mills, and that's what you pay
[58:57] taxes on.
[59:00] So, is that
[59:03] » Yes, so everybody's assessed values are different. Nobody's assessed values are
[59:07] the same. Even if you have a 100,000 square foot house, and you have a
[59:10] 100,000 square foot square foot house, and you have a 1,500 15,000 square foot
[59:14] house, both of theirs could be lower if your house is not
[59:18] up to par of what theirs are, and it just unfortunately has nothing to do
[59:21] with you guys, it has all to do with the county.
[59:24] » Yeah. >> Yeah, and do you look at
[59:26] the ex- the assessed valuation
[59:31] proposed or actual, it's changing by a lot.
[59:36] » Almost 5% >> is from 9.26
[59:40] 9,260 to 9,725. [clears throat]
[59:45] On total valuation, you can see it's Pleasanton.
[59:48] » Yes. >> Well,
[59:51] so >> the mayor would have to speak into the
[59:53] sales tax kind of wideness, but the difference there.
[59:56] » That's fine. We'll just go with the bosses and
[59:59] » Yeah. >> Yeah.
[1:00:00] » Mhm. >> Yeah, there's a lot of calculations that
[1:00:04] go into this in so many different fashions on everything.
[1:00:07] » But they didn't have sales tax in those years.
[1:00:10] » So,
[1:00:13] yeah, the other thing is is the city of Pleasanton does have the consolidated
[1:00:16] streets on top of that. A lot of the other
[1:00:19] cities will only have the one, which our general mill levy is 62.991,
[1:00:26] and then the consolidated streets tax is the 24.293,
[1:00:30] uh which I'm still looking to try to find
[1:00:34] exactly when that was introduced. Uh in in further looking at some of what
[1:00:39] I had understood, >> I found that. I'll I'll get you a copy
[1:00:43] of that. >> Okay.
[1:00:44] » And no other city has that. It's uh Pleasanton's the only one that has it.
[1:00:50] » Yeah, cuz my original understanding of that being introduced in '95 wasn't the
[1:00:53] case. '95 introduced the first sales tax,
[1:00:56] 1%. >> So, consolidated streets.
[1:00:58] » So, consolidated streets was would have been sometime
[1:01:04] back there. Uh
[1:01:07] Which is probably Which is probably, you know, squaring off some time and coming
[1:01:10] and going through all of the ordinances and
[1:01:13] and and everything for that. >> What did you say, Michael?
[1:01:16] » It'd be easier to chew a little bit if the roads in the are some
[1:01:21] Our roads or infrastructure >> We're trying
[1:01:23] » in very good shape.
[1:01:27] » [cough]
[1:01:29] » As soon as we can see some changes, we would probably get on the truck.
[1:01:33] » I mean, I know for me looking at that, it's kind of like, okay, this has been
[1:01:37] on here for how many years now. There's no reason our roads should have been
[1:01:41] allowed to get to what they are. And unfortunately, we can't change how we
[1:01:46] got here, but we can change from here moving forward, which is why we are
[1:01:50] working a plan of action and this is governing. I mean, this this council has
[1:01:54] already released some funds to start working on getting the streets fixed and
[1:01:59] so forth. And I'm really looking forward to seeing that unfold instead of it's
[1:02:03] coming, it's coming, it's coming. The KDOT grant for for for one has been it's
[1:02:08] coming, it's coming, it's coming, but there is a lot involved in that KDOT
[1:02:12] grant and everything. And [music] we're taking bids right now
[1:02:17] for that. So, if anybody's watching or anything, please get on
[1:02:20] get the bid specs, put in a bid for the KDOT grant that will do action
[1:02:26] Cedar. I feel that is kind of budget related because that's money going out
[1:02:30] for
[1:02:34] I'm not sure when it exactly is going to start off hand.
[1:02:39] But, the bids are open through end of October.
[1:02:45] So, right now they're looking at finalizing the bids, then we'll process
[1:02:51] the council the council will vote on which bid to go with and they're looking
[1:02:55] at a spring start for that for my understanding.
[1:02:59] So, the the other ones, the overlay thing
[1:03:03] and some of this extra money that's I mean, that's been released from the
[1:03:05] council already to start going out for that. The overlay people, they're
[1:03:09] wanting to start in October. So, as long as everything goes through
[1:03:14] with that thing.
[1:03:17] Yeah. The the
[1:03:20] » like to start as soon as possible with that.
[1:03:24] Yes. So >> I talked to him today.
[1:03:27] » Yeah. Last time I told him he talked to him he
[1:03:30] was going, "I want to start by at least October. You know, what do we need to do
[1:03:33] to make this happen?" I'm like, "Let's Let's Let's do that." So
[1:03:38] I'm hoping that as we see those things unfold people will will get excited and
[1:03:41] go, "Okay, yes, I'm seeing results here." With that
[1:03:46] but budgets are difficult. I mean, everybody here knows that. You have your
[1:03:50] own budget that you're trying to juggle.
[1:03:53] » So will they overlay? Do they come through and actually tear up and put
[1:03:57] overlay on top of it? >> They'll mill it out and then they'll
[1:03:59] mill it down to a certain level and then they'll put a
[1:04:02] layer on top. >> Yeah.
[1:04:05] Um you're talking about businesses like I don't know if that's something I need
[1:04:08] to come back next week and ask you about, but can you do something for
[1:04:12] taxes like hey, we can we do we give a tax break? I was like,
[1:04:16] can we do a tax break to like start advertising businesses to come cuz I
[1:04:19] know it's a huge part of it. Like We don't really
[1:04:22] » How are the streets or towns? >> We
[1:04:25] » business >> Yeah. We we own the land out by the
[1:04:27] highway and it's like the land out by the highway sits and
[1:04:32] » There There is a tax incentive program for new businesses coming into town
[1:04:37] and there's a complete list of how that's broken out and everything in its
[1:04:40] own special book in the clerk's office that if anybody is wanting to know how
[1:04:45] that exactly works, we'd be happy to get it out and sit down with them and
[1:04:49] kind of show them what that tax incentive is. Now, we do remind people
[1:04:52] that is the city of Pleasanton tax incentive. It's It's not county and
[1:04:57] everything else, but I knew do understand that a new business to Linn
[1:05:02] County may be able to have the same opportunity for tax incentives with the
[1:05:06] county. They just have to file that with the county and talk to them on it.
[1:05:10] » County has enterprise zone.
[1:05:14] That should help you right there.
[1:05:19] » So that's doesn't increase the city budget right
[1:05:22] off the bat, but if it establishes a good business and they stay, then it
[1:05:27] does eventually produce that revenue that is needed for the city.
[1:05:34] Anything else from the council wise on any of that?
[1:05:37] Do we have a motion to adopt the resolution 479 to exceed revenue neutral
[1:05:43] rates?
[1:06:04] » I'd like to make a motion to adopt resolution number 479.
[1:06:16] » Motion is made to adopt resolution number 479 to exceed the revenue neutral
[1:06:21] rate for 2027. Is there a second?
[1:06:39] » I second.
[1:06:48] » It's been moved and seconded.
[1:07:02] » Um
[1:07:18] » Okay, for all those in favor, we'll do a roll call vote, please.
[1:07:22] » Michelle? Um
[1:07:30] Yeah. John?
[1:07:33] » Yeah. >> Alex?
[1:07:37] » Yeah. >> Danny?
[1:07:39] » Yeah. >> Kenny?
[1:07:42] » Yes.
[1:07:48] » Resolution passes.
[1:07:56] Moving on to the budget for 2027.
[1:08:45] Everything here is in accordance to our last budget work session.
[1:08:53] Everything is before you all. Is there a motion to accept the 2027
[1:08:59] budget?
[1:09:02] » Can the budget be amended? Um it goes to include the geo and the
[1:09:06] and the water rates. >> Um we can come back later and amend that
[1:09:09] for the the budget in itself. Um I'm not sure how that would work doing trying to
[1:09:16] do that at this moment. But we can pass this budget and if need
[1:09:22] be come back and amend the budget to that. As far as mill levy itself
[1:09:27] portion of this budget, it wouldn't adjust that or change it at all.
[1:09:44] » And do we have to notify the um the county and stuff that we're going to
[1:09:49] amend the budget? >> Um the problem with
[1:09:53] um amending the budget itself is we do not have
[1:09:58] another geo bond that can go in this budget right now in front of us because
[1:10:02] the geo bond has not been issued. >> But when it is issued, that's what I'm
[1:10:07] asking. >> After it's issued, um we could we would
[1:10:09] be able to amend the budget and that would be a whole process again. We would
[1:10:13] have to notify the people of the amended budget, have another hearing regarding
[1:10:17] it and do all of those steps to it. Um as far as getting this to where it needs
[1:10:24] to be to the county and everything else, we only have until the 20th of this
[1:10:28] month. Uh since the geo bond wouldn't be even issued to us until after the 15th
[1:10:34] of this month, we would not have enough time to be able to present this and get
[1:10:39] it all to the state uh to the county and to the state before the 20th. So we
[1:10:43] would have to come back after that. >> I thought it was October 1st.
[1:10:48] » It is the the hearings and everything have to be done between August 20th and
[1:10:53] September 20th.
[1:10:58] » And then it we when we um >> Yeah.
[1:11:02] » And when we amend the um ordinance of the jail we also put on the
[1:11:06] water rates, too. >> Yeah, we could could do all that at the
[1:11:10] same time.
[1:11:15] Cuz those items wouldn't affect the millage portion of the budget. It would
[1:11:18] just affect the water portion of the budget.
[1:11:22] And what our total indebted indebtedness is.
[1:11:45] » Now this >> Well, I'm not sure if I'm comfortable
[1:11:49] with passing something when we don't have all the numbers in there.
[1:11:55] » And this and this number right here the proposal will change from 4,000 to a
[1:12:00] higher number, right? >> On what?
[1:12:04] » On page 15.
[1:12:11] Where it says 24,000 budget. From 24,000 it will change
[1:12:15] because of the jail bond. Am I being clear?
[1:12:21] With the jail bond revenue.
[1:12:26] » Are you going to put 4 million >> The what?
[1:12:29] » Are you Are you going to put 4 million in?
[1:12:33] » It'll It'll raise it with the the new jail
[1:12:36] bond in there.
[1:12:41] » Yes, expenditures would raise because the in- income would raise.
[1:13:07] » So what's the energy of one? How much is that?
[1:13:11] Do you know? >> 345,000
[1:14:31] And the way the water rate increase was calculated,
[1:14:34] it was calculated to completely cover the geo bond and cover a deficit in the
[1:14:41] water department as was expected based on expenditures this far this year.
[1:14:53] » So, after we get those numbers and they can be added in here, then we can go
[1:14:57] back and amend this budget.
[1:15:00] » Yes, which uh
[1:15:03] » And we've talked to legal counsel >> And
[1:15:05] » do that. >> So, we contacted the
[1:15:12] the loan people to ask them how that works because we don't have the geo bond
[1:15:16] yet, so therefore we cannot include it in this budget. Uh once it is, then that
[1:15:20] would be an amending of the budget that would be needed to cover it at that
[1:15:24] point. Uh but as far as uh being able to do that before our deadline, we would
[1:15:30] not be able to. But as far as going back and amending it, we could do that.
[1:15:35] Because city budgets aren't impossible to amend, there are regulations and
[1:15:40] processes to do that with. Um
[1:15:43] which is what we would have to do in this case, just on where we are with
[1:15:46] getting that geo bonds and how it falls time progress.
[1:15:50] » And we won't be in violation? >> No.
[1:15:53] » Or illegal? >> No.
[1:16:16] » And you said it won't be installed after October when we get the geo the new geo
[1:16:19] bond? >> It's supposed to process sometime at the
[1:16:23] end of this month. >> So, this is September?
[1:16:26] » Mid mid to end of September, yes. But once it processes and we're able to
[1:16:31] put the numbers in and activate the water increase um which would be going
[1:16:35] on for October, um
[1:16:39] where we'd be past the deadline to be able to redo the budget, which is why we
[1:16:43] do need to go ahead and pass this budget and seek for an amendment once we have
[1:16:48] all of that extra numbers, geo bonds, licenses, and so
[1:16:51] forth.
[1:16:59] » I make a motion to go ahead and adopt the budget for 2021.
[1:17:06] » I second. >> It's been moved and seconded to adopt
[1:17:09] the 2017 budget. If we could by roll call, please.
[1:17:14] » Rochelle
[1:17:30] Yeah. Billy >> No.
[1:17:34] » Alex >> Yeah.
[1:17:37] » Sandy >> Yes.
[1:17:39] » Kenny >> Yeah.
[1:17:48] » It is adopted.
[1:17:51] And then as soon as we get all that other information, I will get all of
[1:17:55] that together and to you all and at the same time get
[1:18:01] the procedure that we would need to go through to do that which needs done.
[1:18:11] I'll go ahead and pass this.
[1:18:17] Just write your name and then
[1:19:24] » Now, finally, as is all things for tonight, I would entertain a motion for
[1:19:29] adjournment. >> I'll make a motion to adjourn.
[1:19:34] » So moved and seconded. All in favor? We're adjourned.
[1:19:38] Thank you everybody for coming. >> [clears throat]
