sessment& of "'II property by the State Assessor's office that took effect in ·the current fiscal yeor have reduced tbe city'• iolll assessed value for the fini time in the city's his­tory. Tbll year's budget pro­posal anticipated a 3.6'1> de· cline ia total assessments. This proved optimistic as total auenments actu.Uy dropped 4.1'1>. For the upeoming fiscal year, a further 0.4'11> decline is expected.

The one bit of good news. from the cily government's perspective, is that thanks to increases in commercial per· sonal ·property, the net yield of a penny on the tax rate edged up slightly, to $53,200 (up from $52,600). 1 City Treuurer Michael McLa.ghlin cautioned that '\a unusually large portion of the personal property 111-, resulted from a single company (Cellular One) leaving ~. ~lty vulnerable to changes· In that company ·s fortunes.

The finaocial difficulties of other levels of government, especially Prince George •s CouAty, are aloo tightening the city's budget. The county is .. reexamining the distribu­tion" of police prOtection funds it passes through from the state. which may cause a reduction ln Greenbelt 1s share. The county landfill disposal rebat-e was cut by nearly two­thirds in the current fiscal year,. ·and is expected to stay at the lower level this year. In additi~n. ap, ex~cted 54,000 grant tl\~ Gre9hlt CARES for ,!l!!f!i :ui4:.;.~Ht/ll .. and U~!!W>.&Jlopl:J!,qs !>as been canc.elled and tho city staff fears that Greenbelt'• funding from the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commil$ion may be cut in half.

Fees In addition to the proposed

_increase in the property t'ax rate, Hobbs is proposing in­creases in refu.se collection fees (up $1.2S/JDontb includ­ing recycliag feea) and· pool meml!c~ohipa (up 3 p~~cnt). Durin; tbe 6uttg,U'ievitw pro' ceu, . ifc io· up•:ct~d that

GREENBELT.COM will provide a desk, computer, and Internet hookup, a part- or full-time staffer, and may even pay the phone bill for GATE.
