ONSOVY98S BudqRt Recommenddtions
PresentaticMI 0Y.W..,
M ' 7_6U-E-6ii1�6rger presented tky-fol sage together
ayo e(
with his proposed recommendations concerning the budget:
"The 1985 Budget, that I alt recommending to you, will require
a tax increase of 6,9%, However, I must emphasize that most of-
this increase is caused by the REDUCTION of our total property
assessment in the City of Ithaca. In effect, my modest proposed
increase in expenditures is compounded by the reduced tax base
available to generate the needed tax rovonuo.
Two major chin gcs have occurred that drastically affect our
tax base (assossment) for 1985. The assessment for the Morse Chain
property on South Hilt was loweied by the courts by 1.8 million
dollars. The courts also lowered the assessment of Cornell uni-
vcYsity-owned property (mostly fraternities), by 2.7 million dollars.
In addition to these large reductions) the City of Ithaca had to use
$126,000 of its surplus to repay Morse Chain and Cornell Univpvsity
For 1-110 property taxes they had paid on these p-roperties in ]!""3
and 198l.
Thus, if the City of Ithaca still had this 4.5 million doliars
of property on its tax rolls and had the 126,000 still been avail-
able in surplus, my 1985 proposed budget would only require a 2.3%
tax increase.
Includod with my 1985 rcconmended budget is a summary of the
changes
I have to the various
rcquests. Let me highlight a few of
the
major items.
