A public hearing on the proposed taxes for 2014 has been scheduled for December 9th at 7:00 p.m. State law requires that the final property tax levy be adopted at this hearing. Background The 2014-2018 CIP talks about a Commercial Property Redevelopment Program to prevent neighborhoods from deteriorating. A tax levy is needed in order to fund this program and to allow for other economic development opportunities. This is the second year that a levy is being requested to help fund the Maplewood Area EDA Fund. The Proposed 2014 Budget for the Maplewood Area EDA requires a tax levy of $89,270 which is 0.5% of the 2012 total levy. The budget for the EDA Fund can be found in the Operating Section of the City Budget. There are no anticipated sales tax exemption savings due to the nature of the purchases being made. Budget Impact This will set the levy payable in 2014 for the Maplewood Area EDA Fund as required by the budget document. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the following resolution: a.
