Old Business—Airport Authority Mill Discussion. Kelly stated that the Airport Authority cannot levy

collects the money for the amount levied and sends it to the City. The City then writes a check to the Airport
Authority a check at the end of the fiscal year for the amount collected. This is called a pass-through mill levy
and there is no expense to the City.
