followed by the~.l,.Igport of the?ommission. There was also a question regarding increase in
some of the Clerki~'.~f{ice linei~~fns, such as "Contractual". The large difference relates to the
Close Captioning arid;.,h~wp¢~'k Agenda Management software with Granicus which was
recently approved by r~g8iU~i8ri. Regarding the legal line item, the Clerk explained the need to
be in compliance with Electibn Laws; also advertising in Spanish as well as English. During our
last election, the Clerk published the Spanish ads in Diario las Americas versus EI Nuevo in order
to cut down on the expense.
26 At this juncture, the City Attorneyadvised the Mayor to announce that the
27 percentage by which the proposed millage rate exceeds the rollback rate is statutorily
28 characterized as a percentage increase in property taxes.
