AGENDA ITEM: Proposed Modifications to draft 2016 Property Tax Supported Budgets
DESIRED MEETING OUTCOMES:
• Review and discuss proposed 2016 Property Tax supported budgets.
• Provide direction to Staff regarding draft 2016 budget calculations and/or specify
additional information requested for consideration and decisions on the budget proposals.
Attached are a number of items relating to this discussion:
1. Cover memo and analysis.
2. Preliminary Revenue and Expenditure Summaries.
3. List of New or Major Increased Budget Items
OVERVIEW:
The attached revenue and expenditure summaries reflect modifications made after the August
10th Council Worksession, wherein the Council supported finding ways to lower the proposed
2016 property tax levy. These new summaries also reflect an increase in debt service to provide
for issuance of the final phase of Park Referendum debt, now tentatively projected for issuance
before the end of 2015 and with payment beginning in 2016.
The overall 2016 levy percentage increase has now been reduced to 4.19%, but does not include
the voter-approved new debt. (See, first page of the Spending and Taxes Worksheet). This
compares to the 3.25% percentage increase for non-debt related levy that was reflected in the
2015 budget. The second page of the Spending and Taxes Worksheet reflects increased debt levy
of 2.38%, which is the difference between the 4.19% and the 6.57% increases, for the debt
service payments on the Park Referendum debt final phase issuance of $220,867. The debt
service is based on a preliminary debt schedule prepared by Ehlers, which will be refined prior to
the December Budget and levy approval meeting. Issuance of the debt is tentatively projected
for November or December 2015. The combination of the proposed debt and operating levies
results in a total 2016 levy percentage increase of 6.57%., as compared to an overall percentage
levy increase of 7.33% in the 2015 budget.
New and/or Major items that increase in the 2016 budget are shown on an attached separate
worksheet. Note that $65,000 of capital outlay will now be funded from the Capital Programs
Fund rather than General Fund programs. Also note that the contingency fund allocation in the
General Fund was decreased in recognition of favorable health insurance estimates for 2016.
The Preliminary Levy should be adopted at the September 8th Council meeting and the date for
the public hearing on the 2016 budget should also be set. As in the past, note that the final levy
approved in December can be lower than the preliminary levy but it cannot be increased.
