The Ellendale City Council, at their regular meeting last Thursday, approved a four percent increase in the city levy for 2014. This represents an increase of $11,646 over last year’s $318,764.
This decision followed intense discussion regarding a recent increase in state funding, and whether a levy increase was really called for.
City Clerk Lee Ann Hojberg reported to the Council that the City of Ellendale should be receiving a 28.4 percent increase in Local Government Aid for next year. This would mean approximately an additional $35,000.
The Minnesota State Legislature in their 2013 session okayed an additional $80 million for LGA funding.
