Mitch Daniels informed the public transit system Friday the state might allow it to retroactively collect $518,339 in property tax, according to Citilink Assistant General Manager Betsy Kachmar.<\/p>\n<p>First, council must retroactively approve a budget increase for Citilink.<\/p>\n<p>Kachmar said Citilink will present its request for City Council&#8217;s vote Tuesday. Bob Murphy, vice chair of Citilink&#8217;s board, said he believes council will approve it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Their ears are wide open and they do want to help,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Although council normally needs at least three weeks&#8217; notice to put an item on its agenda, it made an exception in this case due to the imminent deadline imposed by the state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People were willing to bend the rules and make it work,&#8221; Kachmar said.<\/p>\n<p>In November, the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance approved a levy increase meant to compensate for adding service to areas recently annexed into the city, notably Aboite Township.<\/p>\n<p>Citilink, however, was told in February it could not collect the funds because City Council never approved the increase.<\/p>\n<p>Even if City Council does so Tuesday, it&#8217;s no sure thing the money will actually be released to Citilink.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not counting my chickens yet,&#8221; Kachmar said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/docs\/R-08-06-04.doc\">Fort Wayne City Council Resolution R-08-06-04<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/red_cross_signing.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels held a ceremonial bill signing on Monday, April 12, 2010, in his office at the Indiana Statehouse.
