MEMORANDUM
th
Date: August 8, 2017
To: Mayor & City Council
From: Nick Bishop, Finance Director
Subject: 2018 General Fund Budget
Staff has been working to put together a 2018 budget based on the needs of the community and
the services they have come to expect. The 2018 General Fund Budget being presented
includes all department requests. It does not fit within the parameters of the Financial
th
Management Plan (FMP) presented during the June 20 work session. During this meeting we
will review requests/changes that are in addition to what is included in the FMP and seek input
from City Council.
th
The FMP presented on June 20 included assumptions for increases to the general fund
expenditures and the actual levy increases needed to support significant debt issued during
th
2017. The June 20 FMP included a $138 tax increase to the average home, the proposed
budget being presented would require a $199 increase (Note: this is an estimate, FMP is still
being finalized). This table shows the 2017 levy and the proposed 2018 levy.
th
The FMP presented during the June 20 work session included an general fund expenditure
increase of 3% or $379,609 from 2017 to 2018. This is a general assumption based on
inflation. The budget being presented includes a 6.71% increase or $863,517. This is based on
actual requests. This is $483,908 higher than anticipated and will cause a larger than planned
increase to the general fund tax levy. This is a summary of the additions:
$190,000 – Class. and Comp. Study Implementation
$88,000 – Inspection Employee
$71,000 – Fire Marshall
$44,000 – Increase ERP equipment charges by 10%
$19,000 Enterprise Software, off-site storage, mobile device management
$17,500 - Minor Equipment Requests
$10,000 – Lunchroom Seats/Furniture
$8,000 – Reconfigure Community Development/Inspections Office
$7,800 – Increase to Fire Relief Association Contribution by City
$7,200 - Replace 4 AED units - $7,200
$5,600 - Police Training
o Additional revenue allocation from State
$5,100 – Activity Center Signage
o Not ADA Approved
$4,200 – Police, Mental Health Services
$3,000 – Increase Tuition Reimbursement Fund
$2,000 – Police Recruitment
We will discuss each of these items at the work session along with other factors impacting the
2018 budget. The Police Chief, Fire Chief and Public Works Director will be in attendance to
answer any questions.
Following the work session recommendations from the council will be factored into the budget
and a final preliminary budget will be presented at the September work session. We are
th
planning to approve the preliminary budget on September 19.
