Ordinance 2020-08 An Ordinance Establishing the Rate of Levy for Property Taxes for Calendar Year 2020 Based Upon the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2021.

MANAGER'S REPORT:

 This ordinance establishes the mill rates for property taxes for 2020, which funds a significant portion of the City and Borough of Juneau’s FY21 operating budget. The Charter requires the Assembly to adopt, by ordinance, the tax levies necessary to fund the budget before June 15.

 

The mill levies presented in this ordinance support the Manager’s FY21 Revised Budget as amended by the Assembly Finance Committee (AFC). As part of the budget review process, the AFC reviews, amends and recommends to the Assembly the final mill levies. For FY21, the AFC recommends no change in mill rate from the FY20 Adopted Budget, resulting in a total mill levy of 10.66 mills; the components of which are:
