CR 97-158 Approve Proposed BudgetAugust 29, 1997
Primary Issues to Consider
1998 property tax law changes
1998 budget options
Tax impacts of budget options
APPROVE PROPOSED 1997 LEVY
PROPOSED 1998 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
AND SET BUDGET HEARINGS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Resolution 97 -88 "Approving
proposed 1997 tax levy, collectible in 1998, adopting the preliminary 1998 general fund budget,
and setting public hearing dates" be adopted.
Adoption of this motion will set a preliminary and maximum budget and tax levy for 1998.
Actual budget and tax levy adoption will not occur until December, 1997.
Overview
The Truth in Taxation process requires specific action by the City Council. The City Council
must adopt a proposed levy and set hearing dates in conformance with the statute.
Additionally, a preliminary general fund budget must be established. Adoption of the actual
budget will occur in December, and at that time, the final levy and budget may not exceed those
adopted at this preliminary stage.
Three options are presented for the 1998 general fund budget, and the 1997/8 tax levy.
Budgets within these options range from $6,960,000, an increase of 2.4 percent, to $7,091,261,
an increase of 4.4 percent.
The total City tax levy under these options would range from $5,178,800, an increase of 0
percent, to $5,310,461, an increase of 2.5 percent. Staff is recommending that Council select a
proposed levy that will allow some flexibility when deliberating the final levy and budget, after
the public hearings.

Staff Analysis of Issues
1997 Budget Analysis
Attached to this report is an analysis of the programs and services offered in the 1997
budget. The analysis contains information primarily on spending, both in the general fund,
and other funds, by all of the various departments of the City. The analysis also shows staff
time dedicated to each of the departments.
Revenues are also indicated on the budget analysis, but are only intended to show
revenues which are specifically allocated to programs and services which charge fees, and
is not representative of all revenues, such as property tax, inter - governmental revenues,
etc.
From this analysis you can see which departments are self- funding and which require
subsidies from various sources. It also is a good overview of the programs and services
offered by the City. While the list is not all encompassing, it provides for major programs
and services affecting all tax and fee payers in the City.
• 1998 Property Tax Law Changes
Much attention was paid in the 1997 legislative session to property tax reform. Ultimately, a
property tax bill was passed, which contains significant changes to the property tax system.
Highlights would include the following:
♦ Most all properties will see a property tax reduction as a result of the legislative changes.
This reduction is due primarily to additional financing given to school districts which will
offset property tax increases at the school level.
♦ A larger burden of the property tax will be borne by other local governments, including
cities and counties, even though most properties should see a reduction in their total tax
bill.
♦ Aids to cities were frozen or reduced in most cases, and thus a greater reliance on
property taxes and other revenues will be needed by cities to support current levels of
programming.
♦ Classification rate changes will shift property tax burdens from commercial /industrial
properties and apartments, to homesteaded properties. Thus, even though all properties
should see a reduction in property taxes, a larger percentage of that reduction will be
enjoyed by commercial /industrial properties and apartments.
• Levy Limits
For two years, levy limits have been reinstated as an attempt to help control property tax
increases. Levy limits have not been in place for many years, but will now be put in place
for at least two years.

1998 Budget Options
The City Council adopted budget goals for 1998 (attached). Primary to the budget goals
was an effort to reduce or eliminate tax levy increases, while maintaining basic City services
at their current levels. The budget options proposed for 1998 meet those budget goals.
As part of the preparation for the preliminary budget, departments were instructed to keep
personnel increases at 3 %, as per our labor agreements, and to keep all other expenses at
or below 2 %. Within various options, there are some increases in personnel, beyond
current levels, and there are also increases in capital outlay beyond current levels. Each of
these will be discussed. Each of the budget options also provide for current levels of
service to be maintained.
Option No. 1
Option no. 1 would increase spending by $168,900 in the general fund. This is an increase
of 2.4 percent. Within this option, there are no increases in personnel, and
capital outlay is reduced from current levels. Some technology upgrades would be deferred,
but general city services would be maintained.
Option No. 2
Within Option no. 2, spending for the general fund increases by $271,900, an increase of
4.0 percent. Under this option, an increase of 10 hours per week would be allowed the
receptionist at the activity center. It also adds a full time position to administer MIS
functions within the city, and increases capital expenses from $84,800 to $112,200. It also
budgets $28,000 for technology upgrades in computers and printes.
Option No. 3
Option no. 3 would increase spending in the general fund by $300,161, an increase of 4.4
percent. This option includes all of the changes to option no. 2, and also allows for roughly
$28,000 in addition program options, should they be desired as the budget process
continues. This option also would utilize the maximum tax levy option available under the
current levy limits.
Tax Impacts of Budget Options
Each of the budget options above, which were discussed previously, have differing impacts
on the tax levy.
The general fund is the largest portion of the city's portion of the tax levy. In addition to the
general fund, there is also the equipment replacement fund and the debt service funds. The
equipment replacement fund is scheduled to increase by $20,000, while the debt service
funds are scheduled to decrease by $60,000.
• Option No. 1
Council Report 97 -158
Page 4
Option no. 1 calls for increased spending in the general fund, but would have a zero
increase in the property tax levy.
Option No. 2
Option No. 2 would increase the tax levy by $103,400, an increase of 2 percent.
Option No. 3
Option no. 3 would increase the tax levy by $131,661, an increase of 2.5 percent. As stated
previously, option no. 3 is the maximum tax levy increase under the current levy limits. Levy
limits could be exceeded, if we chose to put more of our current expenses into a debt
position, since debt payments are exempt from levy limits. For example, the equipment
replacement fund levy, of $485,000, currently falls under the levy limit formula. If the city
chose to take out a capital note for this fund, we could add that full amount, plus interest,
back under levy limits, thus giving us much more discretion in tax levy options. This is not
being recommended.
As noted earlier, property taxes for residential homestead properties will increase as a
result of the legislative changes, even if the City froze its tax levy at the current level.
Commercial and industrial properties will see a property tax decrease on the City portion,
even if levy limits were extended to their full amount.
Attached is a table indicating the estimated taxes which would be payable in 1998 for the
City portion of the property tax bill. As stated earlier, when combined with the county and
school district, it is anticipated that all taxpayers will see a reduction in their property tax bill,
due to the increased funding of school districts.
1998 Public Hearings
There are significant restrictions on the ability for cities to choose dates for public hearings.
The Met Council, school districts, and the county all have preferential treatment when it
comes to picking dates for the public hearing.
Attached is a calendar outlining the options available to the City for setting the public
hearing dates. Staff is requesting that the Council consider this calendar and select dates
for the initial and continuation hearing (should a continuation hearing be necessary). Staff
will review this calendar in depth with the Council at the September 2 meeting.

taxes
Property tax rebate: Homeowners and rental property owners receive
a one -time property tax rebate of approximately 20 percent of their 1997
property tax- -$500 million in total. The rebate is provided as an income
tax credit, to be claimed on the homeowner's income tax return filed in
1998. Renters share in the rebate with the Renters' Credit program.
and Property tax rates reduced: Provided in the bill are $157 million in a
ently new Education Homestead Credit to offset shifts to homeowners and
renters from compressing property tax rates on other classes of
property, and a reduction of $85 million in the increase in the K -12 levy.
• More homes taxed at lowest rate: The cut -off point for the
lowest tax rate for homes increases from $72,000 to $75,000.
The lowest rate for homes is kept at 1 %.
• Upper home rate reduced: The upper rate for homes is
reduced from 2% to 1.85 %.
• Business taxes: Businesses now taxed at 3% will be cut to
2.7 %, larger businesses rates will go from 4.6% to 4.0 %. The
breakpoint between the two tiers is raised from $100,000 of
property value to $150,000, making more businesses eligible
for the lower rate.
• Rental property tax rates reduced: Single- family rental prop-
erty will be treated as a home and taxed accordingly; the
apartment house rate goes from 3.4% to 2.9 %. Low - income
rental property will have its class rate reduced to 1.0% and must
meet a single set of qualifying rules to be classified as low
income.
• Farm homestead tax rates reduced: Rates for Ag home-
steads under $115,000 go from a rate of .45% to .40 %. Agricul-
tural homesteads valued at over $115,000 and over 320 acres
have their rates cut from 1.5% to 1.4 %. Ag homesteads over
$115,000 and under 320 acres go from 1.0% to .9 %.
• Cabin rates reduced: The cut -off point for the lowest tax rate
increases from $72,000 to $75,000. The lowest cabin rate goes
from 1.5% to 1.4 %, and Cabin owners will be eligible for an
income tax credit if property tax increases exceed 12 %.

revenue surpluses will be used mainly for property tax reform and K -12
Ievytakcover. Afund is established to: compress the class rates further,
increase state education aids to reduce property taxes, increase the
state share of education funding to 70 percent, increasing the educa-
tion homestead credit, and increasing the property tax refund.
Levy limits: With some exceptions, levy limits on cities and counties are
imposed for two years, helping to control property tax increases.
Truth in taxation /accountability: A new TNT notice will improve
accountability and will contain (1) the state - mandated general educa-
tion levy, (2) voter approved operating referenda, and (3) remaining
local school levies. Also, fiscal notes explaining why and how
mandates are to be imposed must accompany any bill that imposes a
mandate on local governments.

provisions will allow people 65 years of age or older who own their
homes and have a household income of Tess than $30,000 per year to
defer payment of property tax in excess of 5 percent of their household
income. The deferral is good until the property is sold, transferred or
reclassified.

ment is eliminated; exemption from sales tax on used farm machinery
made permanent; sales tax inputs used in providing certain taxable
services including laundry and cleaning, car washing, building clean-
ing, detective services, pet grooming, lawn care, massage and animal

1998 Budget Goals
In discussion and preparation for the 1998 budget deliberations the
City Council has established the following goals:
Reduce or eliminate tax levy increases
• Maintain basic City services at current levels
Analyze all programs and services to:
♦ look for ways to reduce dependency on the property tax,
♦ find greater efficiencies in the provision of current services
and programs,
• compare staffing levels to workloads to assure proper
allocation of resources,
♦ create greater linkages between revenues and expenses, to
allow for more entrepreneurial approaches to non - essential
services.
Forecast funding needs and tax implications to assure strong long-
term financial stability.
Provide adequate funds to meet necessary technology upgrades.
Continue policy of not using fund balances for operating expenses.
Recognize and award employees that help the City save money.
