Action Requested
2018 budget discussion.
Background/Discussion
Over the past couple of months staff has presented budget requests and related goals for each
department. Staff will provide an overview of the General Fund budget and an update on the preliminary
levy.
On September 18, the Council must approve a maximum levy to be certified to Sherburne County by
September 29, 2017. Currently, with the adjustments that have been made, the levy change is 6.9% for
2018. We are awaiting the 2018 preliminary tax values from Sherburne County, but early estimates were
projecting about a 6% increase.
Staff is seeking Council direction regarding the tax levy and potential adjustments. Also, during the Mayor
& Council budget review there was mention of hosting an event for city volunteers not serving on a
board or commission. Staff has provided an estimate of the costs to host such an event and would like
direction whether this should be included in the budget.
