The Pine River City Council received a revised budget from the community library between the time it set a preliminary general revenue tax levy and the Tuesday, Dec. 8, certification of that levy.
The library budget represented a $352 reduction in the preliminary levy, allowing the city to reduce it from $511,680 to $511,328.
The 2021 levy still represents a 2.5% increase over the 2020 levy, from $498,394 to $511,328. When the preliminary levy was presented in September, City Clerk Terri Dabill said the increase was due to factors including: technology services, upcoming capital improvement projects and increase in cost of operations.
