(4) The City shall establish and levy, with respect to each upper-tier levy of the County under section 311 of the Act, a separate tax rate on the assessment in each property class in the City rateable for purposes of the upper-tier levy sufficient to raise the City’s portion of the upper-tier levy calculated under section 3 of this Regulation.  O. Reg. 437/02, s. 2 (1).
