of the building. Mark Smith explained it would not be feasible
because of the setback requirements. Mayor Ellison pointed out that
the Council could grant a variance for the setback. Mark Smith
explained that Burger King wanted its sign located close to the

The 1989 special legislative session withdrew state aid from cities and gave it to school districts. This
shift will require cities to raise their tax levy to compensate for this loss. By law, school districts are
required to lower their tax levy by the same amount of state aid they received from the cities.
There Is no net change In property taxes as a result of this state aid redistribution. However, each
taxing jurisdiction may still adjust their specific levy amount.
