Action Requested
Motion by Council to adopt the following:
• Resolution authorizing the property tax levy for collection in 2014
• The 2014 General, Special Revenue, and Enterprise Fund budgets
Background/Discussion
In May, city departments began working on the 2014 department goals and the requested budget. From
June through September, staff met with Council to discuss their 2014 goals and expenditure details.
Based on Council review and discussion with staff, budgets were adjusted and amended. In September,
the Council approved the proposed (maximum) tax levy that was used to calculate the city tax capacity
rate for the property tax notice that was mailed to each property owner in November. As the Council is
aware, the final levy may be less than,but may not be more than,the levy approved on September 3.
The following is a summary of the 2013 tax levy resolution for taxes payable in 2014 and the budget:
• The proposed (maximum) tax levy is $9,929,235 which is a decrease of$246,530 or 2.42% over
last year. The Council has directed staff to draft a final tax levy resolution of$9,853,835 which is
a decrease of$321,930 or 3.16% over last year.
• The General Fund budgeted expenditures is $12,870,500 which is a .26%increase over 2013.
Subtracting out the one-time expenditure of the health insurance increase and ERMU funding the
additional IT hours for the IT position,the budget would decrease .13%.
• The 2013 tax levy resolution for taxes payable in 2014 is lower than the tax levy resolution in 2007
for taxes payable 2008.
Tax Levv
On November 18, the Council reviewed budget options and discussed decreasing the final levy for taxes
payable 2014 by$75,400 to $9,853,835 which is a 3.16% decrease from the taxes payable 2014 adopted
levy. The preliminary estimated Net Tax Capacity (NTC) increased by.61% to $20,323,921 for taxes
payable in 2014. Last year,the NTC decreased 6.45 percent. The main reason for the change relates to
some market value increases and new growth. The final NTC will change slightly as the county makes
final corrections and adjustments before calculating taxes in early 2014. The tax capacity rate based on
the maximum tax levy is 48.85%. With the proposed $75,400 levy reduction,if approved, the tax capacity
rate will be adjusted downward to approximately 48.48%.
P a w E R E U 6 Y
NaA f RE]
There are three main entities: the county, school district, and city,that each receives part of the property
taxes paid by property owners. The city receives approximately 30% of the total property tax the
property owner will pay. The balance,approximately 70%,goes to Sherburne County,Independent
School District 728, Regional Rail Authority, Economic Development Authority,and Housing
Redevelopment Authority. Additionally, the State of Minnesota also receives part of the property taxes
on commercial and industrial property,the city's share percentage decreases below 23% for those
properties that pay state tax.
The city uses its property tax revenue for several purposes: the majority, 93%,is used to fund General
Fund expenditures such as police, fire, street maintenance,general government,parks and recreation.
The remaining 7%pays for debt service, tax abatement,library, and storm water management
expenditures.
General Fund Budget
The 2014 General Fund budget is at$12,870,500 which is a .26%increase over 2013. Subtracting out the
Information Technology position upgrade,which has offsetting revenue ($31,000) from ERMU, and the
one-time additional increase in city health insurance contribution ($19,800) with remaining federal grant
dollars, the net is a .13% decrease.
Public safety expenditures (police, fire, emergency management,building safety, code enforcement,and
environmental) account for 46% of the General Fund budget. General government,public works, and
culture and recreation make up the majority of the balance. Personal Service expenditures are the largest
type of expenditure due to the fact that the city's core objective is to provide service to its residents and
businesses. Personal Service expenditures are 75% of the operating budget. The budget does include a 2%
cost of living pay adjustment for all employees in 2014.
On November 4, Council discussed using one-time federal grant funds that are available to increase the
city contribution for insurance to 7.5%which is 2.5% higher than the preliminary budget. This will be a
one-time adjustment since offsetting, one-time revenue is available.
