MINUTES - Regular - 11/29/2001 CITY OF SALEM 293 NOVEMBER 29, 2001 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL A Regular Meeting of the City Council was held in the Council Chamber on Thursday, November 29, 2001 at 7.00 P.M. for the purpose of transacting any and all business.

PUBLIC HEARING - CLASSIFICATION A public hearing was held on the issue of allocating the local property tax levy among the five (5) property classes for the fiscal year of 2002, and the residential, open space, and small commercial exemption options. President Lovely then turned the Public Hearing over to the Board of Assessors to make a presentation. Mayor Usovicz addressed the Council and stated that he is open to compromise with the Council regarding the issue of appropriating free cash. Mr. Frank Kulik, Director of Assessing, addressed the Council and explained the procedure, and gave the members of the City Council an informational package, which was a copy of the Powerpoint presentation by Finance Director Bruce Guy. He explained that the city has fully implemented the Massachusetts Valuation system. This year, we saw an increase in residential value of 8%. We saw 10% in condominiums, and only 2% for commercial/industrial. The loss of$1,000,000.00 from the Power Company translated into $29,000,000.00 on the commercial/industrial side. New growth has been certified at $607,000.00. Councillor Driscoll expressed her concern about applying free cash to lower the tax rate this year, when next year, we could be facing larger cuts, higher costs, and less free cash. 294 CITY OF SALEM NOVEMBER 29, 2001 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL Councillor O'Keefe asked Mr. Guy about "payment in lieu of taxes" (P.I.L.O.T.) agreements.

To the City Council City Hall Salem, Massachusetts Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council: The following are my recommendations for the Fiscal Year 2002 Tax Classification for your review. I am recommending that we keep the Commercial/Industrial Percentage (CIP) at 166, holding the percentage stable and constant from last year. This results in a Minimum Residential Factor (MRF) of 74.5797%. Adopting this factor will result in a residential tax rate of$13.32 and a commercial rate of $28.49. If this factor is adopted, it will mark the fourth consecutive year that our combined efforts will have reduced the rates. Only by continued fiscal discipline and working aggressively to expand the tax base will we be able to see this trend continue. As we all know, although we continue to see new growth in our revenues in Salem from an expanded commercial and residential tax base, the reality is that our national economy is in recession, and state revenues have plummeted. Working together over the past four years, we took advantage of the good economic times here in Salem to get our fiscal house in order and prepare for a "rainy day." Most dramatically, Free Cash reserves now stand at a record $5 million. It is as a result of this sound fiscal management plan and our new growth in Salem that I can recommend to the City Council that you approve a Free Cash appropriation in the amount of$1,000,000.00 to reduce the burden on residents. In addition to this one-time expenditure of Free Cash to stabilize our tax rate this year, we must also continue to focus on the anticipated decline in revenue from the long-term agreement with the PG&E power plant. We must continue to take the appropriate action to minimize the effect of this loss of revenue.. Most significantly, we CITY OF SALEM 299 NOVEMBER 29, 2001 REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL are renegotiating our tax agreement with PG&E. By opening negotiation early we can work to avoid the expected dramatic loss of revenue from the power plant over the next few years, while continuing to promote economic growth in Salem. I am pleased to be able to stabilize the city's residential tax rate at this level while continuing to encourage commercial development by also reducing the commercial/industrial rate. The economic realities of the market place will continue to challenge the City's financial constraints. However, by working together, I remain confident that we can meet the challenges before us for the benefit of the taxpayer of Salem. I respectfully recommend your favorable consideration on the tax classification recommendations. Very truly yours S/ STANLEY J. USOVICZ, JR., MAYOR #768 -APPR.
