2017 Preliminary Levy and General Fund BudgetCITY OF HOPKINS
MEMORANDUM
Date: September 13, 2016
To: Mayor & City Council
From: Christine Harkess, Finance Director
Subject: 2017 Budget
We have most of the updates to the Financial Management Plan (FMP) completed and are now
working to fine tune the plan as the remaining budget components are completed. We have
received preliminary taxing district information from the County and those amounts have been
updated. Market values have increased at a faster rate than the levy on a percentage basis so
while the preliminary levy increase on a median valued home is currently estimated at $107 the
tax rate actually went down 0.233%. The median valued home went from $207,000 to $233,000.
Comparative data for various properties both residential and commercial are currently being
prepared and will be part of the presentation on Tuesday.
The preliminary 2017 levy and General Fund budget are attached. There has been no changes to
the general fund budget from the original presentation.
We will continue to fine tune the levy to the goal set by the council as we move towards the
December budget meeting date.
A preliminary budget and tax levy will be on the September 20th council agenda to comply with
the statutory September 30th deadline for submission to the County.
Attached are the following:
1. 2017 preliminary Tax Levy
2. 2017 Budgeted Revenues
3. 2017 Budgeted Expenditures
