CR 2004-150 Approve Proposed 2004 Levy, Payable in 2005 C \ r y OF Septem bel' 7, 2004 - City Council Report 04.150 . I--{OPKINS APPROVE PROPOSED 2004 LEVY, PAYABLE IN 2005, PROPOSED 2005 GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND SET BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING DATES Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Resolution 04-073 "Approving proposed 2004 tax levy, collectible in 2005, proposed 2005 general fund budget, and setting public hearing dates" and Resolution 04-75 "Approving a decrease in the 2005 tax levy requirement for the 6-1-2003 I-IRA Leased Revenue Bonds" be adopted. Adoption of resolution 04-73 will set a preliminary maximum tax levy for 2004, collectible in 2005 and approve a proposed 2005 general fund budget. Actual budget and tax levy adoption will not occur until Decem ber 2004. Adoption of resolution 04- 75 wi II approve a reduction in the amount collected for the 2005 debt service payment on the 2003 BRA Leased Revenue Bonds. Overview The Truth in Taxation process requires the City of Hopkins to certify a proposed levy and set public hearing dates in confom1ance with state statute. A proposed general fund budget has been established. Adoption of the actual budget will occur in December 2004, and at that time, the final levy may not exceed the approved proposed levy. The city council is charged with the authority to establish a budget for 2005 and set the preliminary levy. Levy limits have been repealed for 2005 which allows us more flexibility in setting the e budget and levy for 2005. The City tax levy proposed includes a levy "swap" of $400,000 from the debt levy to the general fund. Due to significant project underruns we're proposing to use excess project funds from the fire & public works faci Iity project to cover a portion of the 2005 debt requirement of the 2003 HRA Leased Revenue Bonds and use a pOliion of that levy authority to help with project overruns on the police facility project. . Staff is recommending that council approve the resolution setting the proposed levy for general fund operations, approve the levy adequate for the payment of debt, approve a levy for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, establish a new levy to fund capital improvments and to set the public hearing dates as set forth in the resolution.

Staff Analysis . . 2004 Legislative Actions Local government aid (LGA), a property tax reI ief program to 836 of 853 cities, that ensures residents have access to basic services, regardless of where in Minnesota they live, was permanently cut to $437 million in an effort to balance the state budget. The City of Hopkins receives $50,000 in LGA, down from $1,880,000 two years ago, now a very small portion of the General Fund budget. In 2004 all cities received authority to levy back 60% of the 2004 LGA loss, which we did. That levy increase amounted to $660,000. Any further cuts in LGA will have minimal impact to us. Levy limits have been repealed for all cities for 2005. . 2004 Payable 2005 Levy The City of Hopkins is proposing a total tax levy increase of $494,000 or 6.41 %. A currcnt gcneral fund operating levy increase of 10.29% or $685,000, a current debt service levy decrease of 21.77% or $226,000, no increase for the PERA adjustment, a current Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy increase of $10,000 and a new levy for capital needs of$25,000. The City's levy's are proposed as follows: General fund $7,339,321, HRA $] 0,000, PERA $11,815, Capital $25,000 and Debt $812,000 for a total levy of $8,198,136. The overall tax capacity rate for the city wi II decrease to 49.469% from 56.865%, which due to increased values, translates into an net zero increase over last year's city taxes for the average homeowner. The increase in the operating levy for the general fund is a result of inflationary increases in expenditures and part of the debt levy "swap" between two facility projects. The decrease in the debt service levy is a . result of using surplus project funds to pay a portion of the 2005 debt service requirement for the 2003 HRA Leased Revenue Bonds. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy for 2005 is a reinstatement of their past levy authority, however it is at a significantly reduced level. In an attempt to establish a fund for capital improvements we are proposing a levy of $25,000. The City of Hopkins' tax base increased by $23.14% or $2.754 million due to the decertification of a tax increment district, a new housing development coming on at full value and general increases in property values. All these factors contribute to keeping the proposed 2005 levy while increasing 6.41 %, at a net zero increase for the average residential homeowner. . 2005 Budget Analysis The 2005 general fund budget, and the 2004/2005 general operating tax levy are proposed at $8,946,326 and $7,351,]36, respectively. The proposed general fund budget and levy are set at maximum amounts with a possibility of future reductions. The general fund budget is proposed to increase by $672,705 or 8.13% over the 2004 budget. The 2005 operating budget includes a transfer to the police facility project of $400,000 to help cover the cost of the over runs. Excluding th is transfer, operating expenditures in the general fund are proposed to be increased by $550,553 or 6.9%. The increases are due to salary and benefit increases, 1I1surance both health and liability/property, fuel and fuel related products such as bituminous products, and heating costs. Many of these costs are beyond our control. Because we are a service related operation, salaries and benefits compose 76% of current general fund expenditures and any labor negations have a tremendous impact on the budget. The coullci I and staff will continue to work 011 a final budget that will allow for essential programs and services to be accomplished. . Attached to this report is a summary of 2005 estimated general fund budget revenues and expenditure appropriation requests. The summary shows historical revenues and expenditures, which allows liS to analyze current and future requests. ------- -------- . Tax Impacts of Levy's . Attached you'll find the proposed levy impacts for residential and commercial property. Historically the City Council has set the proposed levy amount at the State's recommended levy limit. This year due to the elimination of levy limits we have more flexibility in setting the levy. Finance is recommending that the Council set the proposed levy at an amount that provides for a net zero increase to the average residential homeowner. This levy allows us some flexibility in funding staff requests while keeping the net tax impact to Hopkins taxpayers at a minimal level. . 2004 Public Hearings for the 2005 Budget and 2004/2005 Tax Levy Cities with populations above 500 are required to hold public hearings to give notification of the proposed property tax levy for the taxes payable in 2005 and the proposed budget for 2005. The percentage increase in the property taxes proposed and the specific purposes for a propeliy tax increase must be discussed at the hearing. There are restrictions on which dates cities are able to hold public hearings for their proposed 2005 budget and property tax levy. The legislature has set aside the first two Mondays in December for the use of cities to hold their Initial Public Hearing and the Continuation Hearing. The City of Hopkins can choose other dates but it must not overlap the county or school districts dates and must be between November 29,2004 and December 20, 2004. There are other restrictions that must be adhered to also. Staff is recommending the City Council set its initial hearing date for December 13, 2004 with a continuation hearing date (if needed) for December 20, 2004, and final adoption to follow on December 21, . 2004. . ~ ;f ef ~ ~ ~ ";;?.
