Edmonds City Council Approved Minutes November 14, 2000 Page 1 Initiative 722 and 2001 FY Budget 3. REPORT BY MAYOR HAAKENSON ON I -722 AND THE 2001 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET Mayor Haakenson directed his comments to the passage of Initiative 722, and pointed out that several lawsuits have been filed challenging the constitutionality of the initiative. He thought the 2 percent property tax limit may come in to play for the 2002 budget if it is ruled constitutional, but he felt that it was a non -entity for 2001. Mayor Haakenson explained that with regard to the ref ind of dollars collected from July of 1999 . through December of 1999, they have set aside an amount equal to that in the event the courts rule that I -722 is enforceable. Mayor Haakenson explained that Council President Miller informed him of the Council's intent to only fund the decision packages that were either mandatory or ranked number one, which would leave approximately $300,000 of unfunded decision packages in the 2001 budget. He thought that was inappropriate and described a number of circumstances whereby passing the current, proposed budget, minus the decision packages, would greatly affect the City. He felt that this would penalize the citizens of Edmonds, and he reminded Council of . his budget message emphasizing that they could provide services to residents within the confines of this .budget proposal and do it without raising taxes. He asked council to fund these decision packages and allow the city to go about doing its work. Councilmember Plunkett responded that he was supportive of the Mayor's budget, and was supportive of 99 percent of funding of the decision packages. Hearing no further questions or comments, Mayor Haakenson adjourned the full Council meeting at 7:10 p.m. to Committee Meetings. Z6=� I RY HA ENSON, MAYOR SANDRA S.
