SUBJECT: 2008 Budget Workshop
DATE: September 7,2007
The following comparisons should be used in considering the 2008 budget and levy requests:
General Fund
Debt Service
Total
2008 Proposed
6,969,159
1,900,760
8,869,919
2007 Adopted
6,160,490
1,766,290
7,926,780
$ change
808,669
134,470
943,139
% change
13.12%
7.6%
11.9%
The General Fund tax levy increase of $808,669 goes towards the following:
Total
225,000
140,104
26,696
152,148
41,517
101,000
22,204
100,000
808,669
Reduced Building permit revenues *
3% COLA assumed (w/benefits)
PERA increases
New positions with benefits
Increases in supplies
Increase in IT charges
Increase in other charges & services
Increase in Capital Outlay
* The actual reduction in building permits of $373,750 is considered offset by the increases in
fine revenue ($6,000), charges for service and miscellaneous revenue ($52,000), interest revenue
($25,000) and transfers in ($65,000). These net to the $225,000 listed above.
The increase in IT charges is directly related to replacement of switches and computers
according to our four year replacement policy and the continued increased cost of maintenance
agreements for all our software.
Capital outlay items for the City Hall are listed on page 9 in the budget but are covered by the
City Hall bonds, not any other levy dollars. All capital project budgets will be submitted with
the final budget document.
Staff is aware that the proposed budget increases the City tax rate to 43.76% compared to the
2007 rate of 41.87% and that this is not the stated desire of Council at the previous workshop. In
order to show no rate increase, the levy would need to be reduced from its proposed level by
$342,850. Each $100,000 in spending equates to 0.55% in tax rate.
Finally, I have attached the property comparison we started using last year showing five different
City properties and the effect ofthe proposed 2008 tax rate on each.
