Acting Mayor Wippermann called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Willcox, Wippermann, Staats, and Klassen present . City staff inembers included Interim City Administrator Wasmund, City Attorney Miles, and Department Directors: Aker, Bechtold, Knutsen, May, Topitzhofer, and Walsh. Acting Mayor wippermann led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Acting Mayor Wippermann opened the Public Hearing for the 1994 CIP and Operating Budgets. The recording secretary noted that the Affidavits of Posted and Published Notice were on file. Interim City Administrator Wasmund and Finance Director Ma.y will give an overview of the 1994 budgets and levies. Questions will be answered, then comments will be accepted from the audience. City Council will then determine if the budgets and levies are acceptable and if so, they will be presented at the December 7, 1993 Regular City Council meeting for approval . Mayor McMenomy entered the meeting at 8 : 05 p.m. Interim City Administrator Wasmund explained the Truth and Taxation form that residents received contained the taxes for county, school district, special taxing districts and city. There have been structural changes in the formula for determining property taxes . Assessed values are generally up and any guestions regarding this can only be answered by the Dakota County Assessors Office. It is a state wide trend that commercial and industrial values are down. Recent state and federal mandates have added additional costs to local governments and reduced funding that was formally available. Local community taxes have remained very low the last two years, but this year will require about an 8� raise in order to continue public services such as police, fire and street maintenance. Finance Director May no�ed that a public hearing has been set for December 15, 1993 at 8 : 00 p.m. in the event that further review of the budgets is needed and this will be determined tonight. May further explained the tax rate/levy expenditure comparison, our tax capacity rate comparison, city employee salaries, cost of independent contractors, the Community Center transfers, and cost of insurance premiums. The debt repayment for the Armory/Community Center was approved by the community in 1988 and 1990 . Mayor McMenomy asked for public testimony. Russ Johnson, 12245 Chinchilla Court, noted the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper article showing administration costs very high for Rosemount. Wasmund noted the study was in draft form only and that no uniform way of accounting was used. Because Rosemount has been growing steadily (since Z980 population has increased 70%) city costs � , �� ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS SPECIAL MEETING DECEbiBER 2, 19 9 3 have gone up significantly. Other cities may be decreasing their needs and the study did not show this . Bob Geronomie, 3260 146th Street West, commented on the same newspaper article which showed Rosemount 390 higher than other cities in total spending. Geronomie said this is not acceptable. Also he noted the Stanton Group which regulates wages and is used widely in cities for setting comparable worth points and levels . City Clerk Walsh noted the comparable worth points are under revision and that the Stanton Plan is not used by Rosemount. The new ranges and points will be available in 1994 and probably implemented in 1995 . Joe Altendorfer, 12050 Bicarde Avenue, commented on the increase in the unpaved roads budget. Wasmund said this allows for one inch of gravel over the 15 miles of unpaved roads in Rosemount. Altendorfer was not happy with the snow removal process. Wasmund noted that priority routes have been set to increase safety and efficiency. Chuck Stauffer, 14587 Delft Avenue, requested more funding be made available for a fire truck. Mayor McMenomy noted that a task force is being formed in January, 1994, to make a recommendation to City Council on a fire truck and possible fire station. Stauffer also noted the funds going to the Community Center. Director May said these funds are for community programs and none are for the ice arena. MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing for the 1994 Budgets and Levies. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None. City Councilmembers commented on the budgets and levies : Staats said he did not want services to be cut and felt that staff was running a very tight budget already. He would support the budgets . Wippermann noted that the St. Paul Pioneer Press article was not saying our taxes are higher. The League of Minnesota Cities does a yearly comparison of 95 cities in Minnesota and Rosemount has always been in the bottom third. This study is based on the same value homes in each city and is accurate. Wippermann will support the budgets. Willcox feels that the average city only needs 5 employees per 1000 population. This puts Rosemount over by 200. Willcox will not support the budget the way it is. Klassen commented that no one likes an increase in taxes, but Rosemount is a grawing community and an increase is expected. Staff has shown they have worked with a bare bones budget for two years and there is a need now to maintain streets and increase police and fire protection. Klassen felt comfortable with the budgets and levies and will support it. McMenomy said he was not for the preliminary budget passed in September, but he believes a prudent effort was made to cut where possible. Staff has done a good job, but McMenomy would hope further 2 • r • �� ROSIIKOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS SPECIAL MEETING DECEMBER 2, 1993 refinement can be made in the next few years especially when the city administrator' s position is filled. McMenomy will support this budget. Interim Administrator Wasmund summarized the process and noted that the 1994 Budgets and Levies will be presented at the December 7, 1993 Regular City Council meeting for approval . If approved then, the December 15, 1993 Public Hearing will not be needed. MOTION by Staats to adjourn. Second by Klassen. Ayes : 5 Nays : None. The meeting was adjourned at 9 :40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Linda Jentink, Recording Secretary ATTEST: Susan M.
