City taxes pay for three basic things - infrastructure, safety related items, and administration. Infrastructure includes libraries, roads, sewage lines, water lines, etc. Safety related items include such things as police, police programs, firefighters, and community outreach programs from both the fire department and the police department. Administration includes the salaries of city employees and daily operating expenses.
