Home My WebLink About2.b1. Operationz a. MEMORANDUM DATE: November 8, 2001 TO: Thomas D. Burt, City Administrator FROM: Jeffrey A. May, Finance Director SUBJECT: Proposed 2002 General Levy Per your request here are some of the factors that contribute to the 30% increase in the proposed 2002 general levy: 1) Lost HACA - $600,000 (approximately) 2) Proposed New Positions - $222,614 (Includes the following positions: Accounts Payable Clerk (75% of salary — balance to Arena Fund); Building Inspector; Maintenance Worker; P/T Police Receptionist; Police Officer (1/2 Year)) 3) Salary & Benefit Increases for Existing Positions - $410,372 (approximately) . These 3 items total approximately $1,232,986 of the proposed $1,280,080 increase in the general levy. There were some adjustments to the internal revenues of the General Fund, but in general, this portrays how closely the actual operating budgets have been kept to "stand in place" for all items other than salaries and benefits. After reviewing the information received from the County, citizen's overall property taxes will be going down, even with the school district's successful levy referendum that was passed on November 6 This was a point of great concern when the City's preliminary levy was passed and although staff could not say for sure at the time, the thought was that this would indeed be the case, as it has turned out to be. I ran a sample of one residential property in the City and found that without the levy and without an increase in property value that property would have seen a decrease of approximately $966. With an increase in value of approximately 8.5% only the decrease becomes approximately $717. With the increase in value and the approved levy the decrease becomes approximately $308. As you can see, the increase in value (as always) and the increased levy contribute largely to the 2002 proposed property taxes., (1) This Figure Derived Using Figures Provided by Dakota County (a) 2001 Projected Levy Less Fiscal Disparities as of 11001 6,027,742 / 10,129,958 = 0.595041 (b) Net Tax Capacity Figure as of 11/2101 11.640,655 (c) Captured Tax Increment Tax Capacity as of 11/2101 (319,105) (d) Contribution to Fiscal Disparities as of 11/2/01 (1,191,592) ---- 10,129,958 Last Updated - 1118101 (2) These Figures Provided by Dakota County (3) These Estimated Figures Provided by ISO #196 CITYOFROSEMOUNT WORKSHEET FOR ESTIMATING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAXES (ISD #196 FIGURES) Market Value -- - ----- - -- ---- - 100,000 -------------- 150,000 200,000 250.000 Year 2000 - - 2001 -----------•---- 2002 Est ------------------ -------------- 2000 - - 2001 - --- - ------- - -- - 2002 Est 2000 2001 2002 Est 2000 2001 2002 Est Tax Capacity 1,156 1,156 1,000 1,981 1,981 1,500 2,806 2,806 2,000 3,631 3,631 2,500 Tax Capacity Rates: City 39.335% 36.553% 59.504% 39.335% 36.553% 59.504% 39.335% 36.553% 59.504% 39.335% 36.553% 59.504% County 27.247% 25.320% 33.072% 27.247% 25.320% 33.072% 27,247% 25.320% 33.072% 27.247% 25.320% 33.072% School District 53.231% 53.249% 29.248% 53.231% 53.249% 29.248% 53.231% 53.249% 29.248% 53.231% 53.249% 29.248% Miscellaneous 6.455% 6.378% 5.040% 6.455% 6,378% 5.040% 6.455% 6.378% 5.040% 6.455% 6.378% 5.040% --- Totals - - - - - -- - - - 126.268% --------------- - 121.500% 126.864% 126.268% 121.500% 126.864% ------`-___-•" '----------------------------_' 126.268% 121.500% 126.864% 126.268% 121.500% 126.864% City Market Referendum 0.0002142 0.0001808 0.0001616 0.0002142 0.0001808 0.0001616 0.0002142 0.0001808 0.0001616 0.0002142 0.0001808 0.0001616 ISO #196 Market Ref 0.0011986 0.0010648 0.0001592 0.0011986 0.0010648 0.0001592 0.0011986 0.0010648 0.0001592 0.0011986 0.0010648 0.0001592 ISO #196 Market Ref/200 n/a n/a 0.00176057 n/a n/a 0.00176057 n/a Na 0.00176057 Na n/a 0.00176057 Property Taxes: City 455 423 463 779 724 781 1,104 1,026 1,100 1,428 1,327 1,418 County 315 293 257 540 502 434 765 710 611 989 919 788 School District 285 312 227 665 665 384 1,104 1,104 541 1,543 1,543 697 Miscellaneous 75 74 39 128 126 66 181 179 93 234 232 120 ........

M Katherine Dalton recently wrote this letter to Liberty: Dear Liberty Friends and Neighbors, Greetings from the great state of Texas! We arrived safely and are now settling into our new home! A few weeks ago, we visited my parents and brother and his family in Houston. Their-church had recently finished its week long Vacation Bible School. The theme for this year was "Good Neighbors ". Well, of course, we sat up and listened carefully as the VBS ministry team explained what it took to be a "good neighbor ". They said good neighbors invite, help, share and give. These four qualities describe all of Liberty! We have been blessed to have spent the last four years of our lives in Minnesota. The best part of our experience was the time spent in Stillwater and the Liberty on the Lake ' neighborhood. That is because each of you in your own way have been inviting, helping, sharing and giving people! Thanks to all of you for a wonderful send off! It was a wonderful day and we will remember it always. We were so glad to spend it with you. The gift bags for the kids were terrific and the stain glass piece for our new home will always be treasured! We want you to know how truly difficult it is to leave a place and people you love. It is only made somewhat easier by returning to a place you hold dear to your heart -your home and family. Please know the welcome mat is always out should your travels bring you south and to Texas. We would love to see you!
