Garrett Funeral Home is in Nystrom, with Nystrom abstaining from the vote. Former Mayor Brian Sanford, former Deputy Mayor Jeff Saintz and former councilman Bob Mayer did not seek reelection in November.
As the new council's first official act of business, it voted to continue to hold its meetings and work sessions on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. throughout January; however, in February, council will switch its meetings to Tuesdays at 7 p.m. The meetings are held in the fourth-floor conference room of Titusville Redevelopment Authority, 110 W. Spring St. During the meeting, Nau reviewed some of the recent legislative changes to the $52 Local Services Tax formerly the Emergency Services Tax.
In 2007, the state set up new guidelines as to how the tax is collected and dispensed. The tax, which applies to those who work within city limits, will now be collected by employers at a rate of $1 per week. In prior years, the city's collector has dispensed $10 of the Environmental Protection, however, Nau said. She also announced that negotiations with Armstrong Cable are currently on hold while the company completes its year-end tax planning. During a time for discussion about next week's council agenda, Nystrom brought up reopening the city budget.
Council voted to pass the 2008 budget Dec. 27. The final figure for the budget was it included no real property tax increases for 2008. Nystrom said he did not want to make changes that would alter the budget's total revenues or expenses. Council would have until mid-February to pass an amended budget.
Council must also make sure there is a cushion of about two weeks to advertise the public budget vote before it happens. A discussion about the budget was included in the draft agenda for next Monday's meeting, which will be held in the TRA building, 110 W.
