STAFF ANALYSIS OF ISSUES
Primary Issues to Consider
0 How does the 1994 budget compare to 1995?
The staff is recommending that the Council adopt the presented preliminary budget This budget
maintains services with normal expenditure increases adjusted below inflation. Salary ranges
would increase by 2%. Services/charges and supplies and capital expenditures would remain at
the 1994 budget level. There is no change proposed in contingency or the landfil1 budgets.
0 What are the impacts on the levy resulting from the proposed budget?
The levy is spread against the taxable tax capacity of the City which is proposed to increase after
several years of reduction. Actual market value of the community and taxable tax capacity of the
community have both increased and are primarily due to a physical increase in the market values
of all types of property except commercial. A chart is attached to this report which graphically
demonstrates the dollar impacts on the City's portion of a homesteaded property.
