Mayor Moylan asked for comments from the aldermen and the public.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the City Council asking
questions of Director of Finance Wisniewski regarding the 2011, 2012 and
2013 tax levies. Director of Finance Wisniewski responded to Mr. Burkross'
questions. Mr. Burkross stated that he is disappointed that no one on this
council made a motion to kick back 10 or even 20% to the residents; over the
last 4 or 5 years we have done a good job managing our debt; this means we
paid down debt as we should and did not increase it; general fiend and other
funds have increased; at a time people when are struggling to pay their
mortgages, losing their homes, feeding their families, this City has turned a
situation around; the City will still have an abundance of money without
sacrificing any projects and nothing was given back to the residents; he thinks
