Councilman Clarke

Thank you, Madam President. Madam President, I'm offering an amendment to Bill No. 070203. It is an amendment simply to change the tax rate. That's based on the ordinance that Councilman Goode sponsored to change the ratio between the School District and the City's real estate revenue. It was brought to our attention in the hearing last week that the rate has changed. So I move for the adoption of the amendment to Bill No. 070203. 12/6/07 - STATED - 2ND READING (Duly seconded.)
