XI. Comments from the Audience
Discussion

Mr. Palm updated council on the Utility Tax. He is hopeful to begin collecting in May. Mr. Palm also updated council on ADA. As of right now we would likely fall back into hold harmless and lose $180,000 to $200,000 in funding. There is a clause in the law that restores ADA to two-thirds if a drop is more than 10% in one year.The hope is to end the year out of hold harmless classification.
