PUBLIC HEARINGS 7.a. 2019 Budget City Administrator Martin presented the City’s Final Operating Budget and Levy for 2019, including outlining the budget creation process. The recommended 2019 Budget proposes an increase in the City’s property tax levy of 3.75%. Rosemount would have the 3rd lowest municipal levy increase in the County in 2019. This levy increase results in an estimated annual increase of $44 in the City taxes assessed to a median valued home. Martin summarized the main expenditures leading to the budget increase within the presentation. Finance Director May presented the total spending, which includes all other budgets such as enterprise, capital, and Port Authority. Martin highlighted that a taxpayer owning a median-valued home will pay $7 less in City taxes in 2019 than they would have paid in 2008, which is a testament to the City’s commitment to financial management and respect of tax dollars.
