allowed by ordinance; and
WHEREAS, tax rates have remained the same since 1991 due to annual abatements;
and
WHEREAS, based on Council direction, revenue estimates in the current budget were
based on current tax rates and abating the CY 1997 tax rates to retain the current tax rate
would not affect this year's budgeted revenue, nor would it impact next year's budget; and
