Vice -Mayor Henderson noted that the Ordinance before Council was required by the Charter because City must set its tax rate before September 1 , of each year , and asked that discussion be confined to that issue . Assistant City Manager presented an oral review of his report , which stated that the tax rate for fiscal year 1973 -74 was estab - lished at $1 . 8699 , or 10 . 140 lower than last year . Concern was indicated in that approximately 5¢ of the reduction was apparently due to unusually high business inventories , which next year may be at a more normal level , neces - sitating a like increase on the tax rate . In addition, cleanup legislation of SB 90 was not firm and it was not known what the base year would be , although it was believed the Legislature is considering establishment of 1972 -73 as base year . City Controller responded to several questions by Council , in- dicating that the County Assessor has finally computerized the unsecured tax roll , and information on this will be coming to Council after his department 8/13/73 Reg .
