Citizens, Honorable Mayor, City Council
City of Hopkins
Hopkins, Minnesota 55343
Dear Citizens, Mayor and Council Members:
It is my pleasure to present to you the City of Hopkins 2009 Budget. Hopkins' strong financial position and proactive fiscal management practices allowed
options for the City Council to maintain a service delivery at current levels while minimizing the impact on the 2009 tax levy, The final result is adopted 2009
budgets totaling $24,821,583 of which $10,075,492 is the General Fund. This budget lives within the City's financial resources, meets basic service needs,
provides for the maintenance and replacement of the City's infrastructure, and plans for the future, keeping Hopkins' good financial condition intact.
The Municipal Budget is intended to reflect the goals, objectives, and priorities established by the City Council with input from the residents and taxpayers of
Hopkins, and fairly represent the revenues and expenditures necessary to provide the services and programs desired by the community. Y
The City of Hopkins is fully developed. Challenges exist for redevelopment and building community. The city Y y governing body involves its' citizens and
constituents through its mission and vision statement by: conducting a citizen's academy, providing a state of the city address, p 9 y publishing a city annual report,
and communicating with the community as often as possible regarding many city initiatives and proposed polices. The budget adoption is a significant wa in
which the City Council expresses their leadership. The City Council establishes budget goals, which are accurately reflected in this budget. y
2009 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
The City has developed a number of elements that have been brought together to provide the best information for the Council to make their budget decisions.
These elements include the following:
Strategic Planning Process The Council has a mission and vision statement, which helps determine the priorities of the community and direct the
council in providing services for its constituency. As part of the process annual goals and objectives are set.
Program Budgeting This provides more information in regards to what programs departments provide and what is the individual cost of those
programs. This accomplishes the objective of reviewing revenues and expenditures based on program activity.
Four Year Budget Modeling Encourages future planning for the General Fund budget and allows us a preview at projected property tax levy needs
over the next four years.

CITY OF HOPKINS
Cash Flow Models Cash flow projections are created for all funds to provide us with a view of future sources and uses within the various funds
and for the City as a whole. This assists in long range planning and goal setting.
Net Property Tax Cost for Sample Properties Developed many years ago, this provides information to the council incorporating expected
increases in valuation and projecting actual costs on sample properties within the City.
Net Tax Cost by Program This provides both a dollar and percentage of property tax support for each of the City's general fund programs.
HOPKINS IN 2008
In the year 2008, the nation's economy experienced minimal growth. The governmental environment was to maintain staff and minimize budget increases.
The city continued to provide all core services through 2008. Program budgeting has helped in our analysis of city services, while we look at ways to
continue to do more with less. The Council and city staff will also continue to investigate additional revenue sources.
In 2008, the City's tax base continued to grow, however at a minimal level. Redevelopment of properties in Hopkins helped to increase our tax base, which
increased our tax capacity and has kept our levy increased to an average of 3.9% per year for the last five years. In 2008 the taxable market value growth
totaled 0.75% for 2008. The City's general fund expenditures have increased an average of 3% a year over the last five years. This increase is directly
related to salary and benefit increases for employees, insurance costs and oil based products. Diligent planning and management has helped in keeping
operating expenditures down.
The employee compensation has remained competitive in the market for both those with and those without labor contracts. The number of employees has
remained stable at 110.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Minnesota's overall economy is suffering the same effects as the rest of the country. Thirteen Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in Minnesota.
Super Valu is the largest food wholesaler in the nation. They are a Fortune 500 company that continues to expand in Hopkins. Another Fortune 500
company with a branch in Hopkins is US Bank. Included with the Fortune 500 companies in Hopkins there is a diverse community made up of a healthy mix
of residential, commercial and industrial properties. In addition Cargill, the largest privately held company in terms of revenue, is expanding their corporate
campus into Hopkins with the addition of an estimated 800,000 square feet of office space in three buildings. In 2008 the first of three buildings was
completed and over 1,100 employees moved in during June 2008. The second building will be completed in the summer of 2009 and additional employees
will move in at that time. The final building is anticipated to be completed in early 2010. Total employment at the three buildings is estimated at 3,300.
Hopkins economic outlook has remained relatively stable. The City has expanded its commercial tax base through redevelopment. It is also an attractive
bedroom community of Minneapolis with new home construction. Hopkins is an inner -ring suburb of Minneapolis with a good mix of 34% residential, 42%
commercial and industrial and 22% apartment properties. Hopkins participates fully in the Minneapolis and Hennepin County economies. Hopkins has
preserved its central downtown area where development continues because of its highly desirable location. Hopkins wealth levels are above average when
compared nationwide.
2009 BUDGET
REDEVELOPMENT
State Tax Reform:
CITY OF HOPKINS
Significant redevelopment has occurred within the City of Hopkins over the past five years. This redevelopment has contributed substantially towards the
increase in property values and by making Hopkins a more desirable place to live and work. The largest redevelopment project in the city's history came to
fruition in 2007. The City has been working for several years to redevelop the Red Owl or North Annex site east of Highway 169 on Excelsior Boulevard in
Hopkins. It is a 27 -acre parcel that housed several operations for Super Valu over the past decades. Cargill, an international provider of food, agricultural
and risk management products and services with headquarters in neighboring Minnetonka, will be occupying the entire site for corporate office development.
This $130 million project, which began in 2007 and is scheduled for staged completion in 2008 -2010, will not only bring approximately 800,000 square feet of
Class A office space to Hopkins, but will also bring over 3,300 new jobs to the City.
In addition to this large office development, other development continues in Hopkins. This includes new commercial structures on Mainstreet, renovation of
older industrial buildings, new residential projects, and more mixed -use projects that incorporate residential and commercial development. Overall, these
redevelopment efforts continue to ensure that Hopkins remains a desirable community to live and work in.
LONG TERM OBJECTIVES
The City Council and staff have established long term objectives for the community and the working environment
Increase ratio of residential properties.
Maintain the high quality of our livable community.
Increase tax base to spread share of tax burden.
BUDGET OBJECTIVES FOR 2009
Maintain core City services at a reasonable price for residents and commercial /industrial users.
Use program budgeting as a tool for analysis of 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.
Continue policy of avoiding the use of fund balances for operating expenses.
Recognize and award employees that assist the City in saving money.
Evaluate and investigate other sources of revenue.
BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
There are areas to consider that may affect the budget during the next few years.
2009 BUDGET
4
The state's ongoing budget issues will again affect City finances as well as residential and commercial based taxpayers.
Property Classification Changes In the past there has been a tendency to shift some of the tax burden back to residential taxpayers from
commercial /industrial taxpayers. This continues with the final year of the phase out of limited market value on residential properties.
Tax Increment Finance Any changes in property classifications impact property taxes generated by TIF districts. Currently the tax generated in
the various districts is projected to be sufficient to cover any debt or liabilities created in the districts.
Property Tax Freeze and /or Levy Limits Levy limits were re- imposed in 2008 as a tool to hold down local government spending.
State Aids In 2002 the state shifted a portion of its aids from local governments to school districts, allowing local governments to levy back the
loss. In 2003 the state un- allotted a portion of local government aids without the ability to raise taxes. In 2004 cities were given the authority to
levy back 60% of lost local government aid. In December 2008 the State of MN reduced December state aids payments in response to the state
budget deficit. In response to continuing state budget deficits local governments will see further reductions in state aids during 2009. The trend
of reducing local government reliance on state aids is anticipated to continue into the future.
Real Estate Values Real estate values in this community experienced a slight increase of 0.75% for 2008. This resulted in an small increase in
the City's tax capacity. In addition, three tax increment districts were decertified in 2004 adding over $69M in increased value to the general tax
base. An additional smaller tax increment district is scheduled for decertification in 2009 which will help in setting the tax levy for 2010.
Overall, expenditures will increase by 5.26% in 2009 with projected decreases of about 0.35% in 2010, 1.6% in 2011 and approximately 3% for 2012
and 2013. Future programs and services provided by the City of Hopkins may change in relation to available revenue sources. The City Council
and staff continue to work on budget solutions in light of decreases in funding sources. This planning assists in minimizing the impacts of potential
tax freezes, additional state aid losses and reduced potential redevelopment activity.
Fund Balances for governmental fund types will continue to be strong for the next 3 to 4 years, absent any significant changes in the policy of
avoiding the use of fund balance reserves for current expenditures.
GAUGING THE CITY
The City uses the following performance measures:
Tax levy history in relation to the consumer price index.
Sample properties cost per month
Comparisons of comparable communities
Goal achievement
CITY OF HOPKINS
2009 BUDGET ADOPTION
Overall the budget objective is to provide quality services at a reasonable cost, keeping tax rates fairly constant In the past this has been
accomplished through increased net tax capacity levels and keeping the tax levy at a reasonable amount, at the same time allowing the City enough
funds to continue with the level and quality of service it currently has. In 2003, the City implemented a $550,000 tax levy for the new fire station and
public works storage facility. In 2004, the City implemented an additional $450,000 tax levy for the remodeling and expansion of its police
department facility. At the same time as these new levies were being implemented the state significantly reduced local government aid to the city.
These new levies and the Toss of state aid have significantly impacted the city's tax rates. The city's tax capacity rate has gone from 32% in 2001 to
57% in 2004 but was reduced to 49% in 2005 largely due to the decertification of three tax increment districts and has been reduced each year
thereafter due to growth of the tax base and service efficiencies throughout city government reaching a low of 45.4% in 2008 before rising again in
2009 BUDGET

2009 due to declining market values.. The 2009 city tax rate is 47.3
CITY OF HOPKINS
The adopted General Fund budget has a 5.26% expenditure increase for a total General Fund Budget of $10,075,492. The city's tax capacity rate
for 2009 shows an increase of 1.9% from 2008. The total tax levy increase for 2009 is 3.9 The levy includes funds designated for general fund
operations and debt service payments. The capital levy was increased to $100,000. The monthly city tax cost for a median valued home, which
decreased in value by approximately 2% to $225,000 is about $89 or approximately $1,064 for the year.
The city's goals and objectives were once again reviewed and updated by city staff, commissions, citizens and the City Council. They are integral
part in meeting the needs of the citizens.. The 2008 -09 goals and strategic plan are included in the budget document on pages 14 -16.

COMMUNITY PROFILE
CITY OF HOPKINS
The first settlers of Hopkins arrived in 1852; however, the roots of the town begin in 1887 with the building of the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company, later
called Minneapolis Moline. Minneapolis Moline once employed most of the Hopkins residents. The West Minneapolis Land Company was also founded in 1887
and was formed to build housing for the Minneapolis Moline factory workers. In 1893, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners received a petition signed by
41 residents, asking that the village be formed. Following an election, the community was then incorporated as the village of West Minneapolis.
The original village was comprised of three square miles, and it has been enlarged by annexation to its present size of about four square miles. The population at
the time of its incorporation was 1,105; today, there are 17,559 people living in Hopkins. In 1928, the name of the village was changed to Hopkins for Harley H.
Hopkins who was among its first homesteaders and was the community's first postmaster. The first mayor was Harley Hopkins' son, Chester L. Hopkins.
On January 1, 1948, the village became a city upon adoption of a City Charter with a Council /Manager form of government. The City Council consists of four
council members and the mayor. Council members serve four -year terms and are elected at large. The mayor is elected at large for a two -year term. The
governing council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees and hiring the City's manager and
attorney
Hopkins has always had a core business district, and in the center of that early business district was Hopkins City Hall at 8th Ave N and Mainstreet. Completed in
1912, it housed the city's police and jail in the rear portions, and city offices, library and meeting room upstairs. The fire station was on the main level, and the
firefighters used horse drawn rigs. The building was remodeled in 1940 to accommodate more fire trucks.
That fire station was torn down in 1965 after a new City Hall, Police Station and Fire Station were built at 1010 1st St S. In 2004, a new Fire Station was built on
17th Ave. The Police Department was expanded and remodeled in 2005. In the summer of 1982, the city and its Public Works Department accomplished the
challenge of building a city garage on a small area, using as many of the existing structures as possible, doing it within a $475,000 budget, and doing it without
disrupting city services. The Public Works facility was expanded and remodeled in 2004.
Adjacent to the Public Works facilities is the Hopkins Pavilion, which was built with money from a 1989 park bond referendum. The facility opened in December
1991. It is now one of the premier facilities of its kind in the Twin Cities area, and is used for soccer, lacrosse, in -line roller hockey, skating and ice hockey. The
Hopkins Activity Center, a multipurpose community facility, opened in January 1981 at the site of the former South Junior High School. A variety of programs for
people of all ages are offered at the Activity Center. It was renovated in 1990, and the facility includes a gymnasium, meeting rooms and kitchen. The Hopkins
Historical Society, which was started more than 24 years ago, also is located in the Activity Center.
The Hopkins Center for the Arts, 1111 Mainstreet, opened in November 1997. The Arts Center stands as a focal point for arts, culture and entertainment in the
Hopkins community, the Twin Cities metro area and the region. It is a community gathering place where young and old can enjoy high quality, multi- disciplinary
cultural arts programs and community activities.. The Arts Center includes a theater, a visual arts gallery, multipurpose spaces for rehearsals, community activities
and small performances, a visual arts classroom, a dance studio, and kitchen facilities for serving catered food.
It addition to its facilities, the City of Hopkins is home to the annual Raspberry Festival. The first festival was organized in 1934 by a group of community business
people who were concerned that the Hopkins economy and community needed a boost. This festival is one of the largest in the state.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES
The City of Hopkins Finance Department is responsible for maintaining the accounting system and monitoring compliance with the budgetary controls and
financial policies established by the City Manager and City Council. Following is an overview of relevant financial management practices, policies and
year -end reporting.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting system provides for a complete, self balancing account group for each fund of the City. Accounting records are maintained on the
modified accrual basis for City funds. The exception is the proprietary funds, which are on full accrual. The modified accrual basis of accounting
recognizes revenues to the degree that they are available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period. Similarly, debt service payments and a number of
specific accrued liabilities are only recognized as expenditures when payment is due because it is only at that time that they normally are liquidated with
expendable available financial resources. The budgetary basis of accounting is the same basis of accounting used to prepare the City's financial
statements as included in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report at the fund statement level.
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR)
The City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 for the year ending December 31, 2003. The statement
also requires the City to utilize the economic resources measurement focus as well as the accrual basis of accounting.
The City operates on a calendar fiscal year and reports its year -end financial position in a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), prepared by
the City's Finance staff. Copies of the 2008 CAFR will be available to the public upon completion in May 2009 and a summary of the results will be
published in the official newspaper.
The 2008 CAFR will be audited by the independent auditing firm of LarsonAllen, LLP to insure accuracy and compliance with federal and state laws and
regulations. State law provides that the City may arrange for an examination of its books, records, accounts and affairs, or any part thereof, by the State
Auditor or by Certified Public Accountants. It has been a long- standing policy of the City to provide for a complete annual audit of the City records by
independent Certified Public Accountants.
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement of Excellence in Financial
Reporting to the City of Hopkins for its CAFR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national
award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) POLICY
The City annually develops a 5 -year plan for capital improvements and updates it annually. The five -year budget capital improvement will be approved
and incorporated into the operating budgets. The following year's budget will be adopted with the year after that on a cycle consistent with the operating
budgets The complete CIP document can be downloaded from the city's website at www.hopkinsmn.com and is a companion document to the Annual
Budget.
The City will identify the estimated cost and potential funding sources for each capital project proposal before it is submitted to the Council for approval
and that process will determine the most cost effective financing method for the proposed project. The City will make all capital improvements in
accordance with the adopted capital improvement program or as amended by the City Council. Capital purchases not otherwise funded through an
approved budget shall require City Council approval, The City will maintain all its assets at a level adequate to protect the City's and its citizen's capital
investment and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.

that process will determine the most cost effective financing method for the proposed equipment purchase. New pieces of equipment not previously in
the equipment replacement plan must first be financed through the departmental budget and will be placed in the equipment replacement plan the year
following the purchase. The City will make all equipment purchases in accordance with the adopted equipment replacement plan or as amended by the
City Council. Equipment purchases not otherwise funded through an approved budget shall require City Council approval.
The City will maintain all its equipment assets at a level adequate to protect the City's and its citizen's capital investment and to minimize future

manner prescribed by state statute, not less than 30 days prior to final approval. The budget is a public record open to public inspection. The council
shall hold a public hearing on the budget and it shall make such changes therein as it deems necessary and adopt the budget by resolution.
It has been City policy to annually approve a balanced General Fund budget. A balanced budget is a budget in which expenditures are equal to income.
2009 BUDGET
18
CITY OF HOPKINS
Other City funds may or may not have a balanced budget depending on when funding is received for specific expenditure needs. For example a grant
may be budgeted for an expenditure that may overlap years. Thus all revenues would be in one year and the expenditures would be in multiple years.
All budgets are prepared on the accrual basis Budgets are estimates and may be amended under the following guidelines.
PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET The annual budget shall provide a complete financial plan for the budget year by fund, showing all
proposed expenditures and estimates of all anticipated revenues applicable to proposed expenditures and any other information the council may require
or the city manager might deem desirable. In parallel columns shall be shown the amounts, if any, granted and expended under similar heads for the
past two complete fiscal years and. as current as possible, for the immediate past fiscal year. The council may include or exclude at its discretion any
fund, except the general fund The budget shall be submitted to the council at a regular council meeting, in a manner prescribed by state statute, not less
than 30 days prior to final approval_ It shall be a public record open to public inspection by anyone and the city manager shall cause sufficient copies
thereof to be prepared for distribution to the mayor, members of the council and interested persons.
ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET The council shall hold a public hearing on the budget and it shall make such changes therein as it deems necessary and
adopt the budget by Resolution.
ENFORCEMENT OF THE BUDGET Except as set forth in Section 7.16, the city manager or the City Council shall not approve any expenditure
uncovered by the budget. The City Council may approve expenditures uncovered by the budget if there is sufficient unexpended balance left after
deducting the total past expenditures and the sum of all outstanding bills, orders and encumbrances. No employee of the City shall place any orders or
make any purchases except for the purpose and to the amounts authorized in the budget. Except as in this Charter otherwise provided, any obligations
incurred by any person in the employ of the City for any purpose not authorized in the budget or for any amount in excess of the amount therein
authorized shall be a personal obligation upon the person incurring the expenditure.
ALTERATIONS IN THE BUDGET Except as set forth in Section 7.16, after the budget shall have been duly adopted, the council shall not have power to
increase the amounts therein fixed, whether by the insertion of new items or otherwise, beyond the estimated revenues, unless the actual receipts shall
exceed such estimates, and in that event not beyond such actual receipts. The sums fixed in the budget are appropriated at the beginning of the fiscal
year for the several purposes named therein. The council may reduce salaries or the sums appropriated for any other purpose, or authorize the transfer
of sums from unexpended balances to other purposes.
Budgets are adopted by fund and are appropriated for several purposes. The council may reduce appropriations within any fund and re- appropriate those
funds within the same fund for other purposes. The council may also increase appropriations if actual receipts exceed budgeted revenues. The increase
in appropriations cannot exceed the excess in budgeted revenues.. The budget, as presented in this document, is developed for each program within a
department. For example, the Finance department is made up of several programs including Benefit Administration, Payroll, Utility Billing, etc... For
management purposes, the sum of the program expenditures may not exceed the total budget for the specific department. For legal purposes, the
general fund total expenditures cannot exceed the total general fund appropriation. The council must budget for the general fund but budgets for all other
funds are at their discretion.
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and are defined on the same basis of accounting described
below. Annually appropriated budgets are legally adopted for the general fund. Budgeted amounts are reported as originally adopted, or as amended by
the City Council. Budgeted expenditure appropriations lapse at year -end. Unexpended or supplementary appropriations can be carried forward if

fund balances and the budgets associated with them are carried forward to the next year.
The City follows the procedures below in establishing the budget.
1. The city manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1. The operating
budget includes proposed expenditures and the estimated revenues for the general fund, specified special revenue funds requested by City Council,
enterprise funds, internal service funds and debt service funds. Capital project funds for the City are not budgeted annually but are included in the
Capital Improvement Plan approved by the City Council. Capital projects are approved by the City Council on a per project basis.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The general fund budget is enacted through passage of a resolution.
BUDGET CALENDAR
INTERNAL CONTROLS
In developing and altering the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. These controls are
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use of disposition and
the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets, the concept of reasonable assurance
recognizes the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and the evaluation of costs and the benefits requires estimates and
judgments by management. All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe the City's internal accounting controls
adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.

CASH MANAGEMENT
The investment portfolio of the City is designed to attain an average rate of return regularly exceeding the average return on three month US Treasury
Bills, while seeking to augment returns above this threshold consistent with budgetary cycles, economic conditions, risk limitations, and prudent
investment principles. Portfolio diversification is considered so that investments are not concentrated in one institution, in one type of investment, or
purchased from one dealer. Pursuant to this policy, cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in those investments authorized by law
RISK MANAGEMENT
The City has an informal risk management policy, the purpose of which is to maintain the integrity and financial stability of the City, protect its employees
from injury, and reduce overall costs of operations. The City has insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) to
ensure City property, contractors and miscellaneous equipment, crime, employee performance bonds, autos and general liability. General liability
coverage amounts to $1,000,000 per occurrence (and aggregate), with a $20,000 per occurrence, $40,000 aggregate deductible.
DEBT
The City will confine long -term borrowing to capital improvements, equipment or projects that have a life of more than 5 years and cannot be financed
from current revenues.
The City may issue debt for its Permanent Revolving fund, which pays for any improvement in which part of the cost of the improvement is to be
assessed against the benefiting properties.
The City may also issue revenue bonds that are paid back directly from revenue sources other than debt levies.
The City may submit to voters the proposition of issuing debt for any public purpose not prohibited by law, and issue the debt upon a favorable
majority vote.
Whenever possible, the City will use revenue (including G.O. backed revenue) or other self- supporting type bonds instead of general obligation
bonds
The City will maintain frequent and regular communication with bond rating agencies about its financial condition and will follow a policy of full
disclosure in every financial report and bond prospectus. The City will comply with Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting.
The City will keep the total maturity length of general obligation bonds below 25 years. In all cases the maturity shall be shorter than the life of the
related assets.
Net general obligation debt (as defined above) will not exceed 2% of the estimated full market value of taxable property in the Cit as required by
Minnesota Statutes Section 475.53.
The City may issue emergency bonds to pay for extraordinary expenditures or to cover a shortfall in revenues for budgeted expenditures. Emergency
bonds must mature within ten years of issuance. One tenth of the amount is to be levied the first year following issuance and one tenth every year
there after for ten years.
BUDGET PLANNING PROCESS
The City has developed a number of elements that when been brought together help to provide the best information for the Council to make their budget
decisions. These elements include the following:
Strategic Planning Process The Council has a mission and vision statement, which helps determine the priorities of the community and direct the
council in providing services for its constituency. As part of the process annual goals and objectives are set. Department Directors then use these
goals in developing departmental goals and setting departmental budgets.
2009 BUDGET

CITY OF HOPKINS
Program Budgeting This provides more information in regards to what programs departments provide and what is the individual cost of those
programs. This accomplishes the objective of reviewing revenues and expenditures based on program activity. For programs whose goal is to be
supported totally by revenues it allows departmental managers to review the fee structure on an annual basis to ensure that goal is met. It also allows
the public to determine what portion of a specific department is supported by taxes.
Four Year Budget Modeling Encourages future planning for the General Fund budget and allows us a preview at projected property tax levy needs
over the next four years. Monitoring tax capacity along with budget needs provides advance notice to management when taxes may rise faster than
advisable and allows staff to take appropriate action in revising budget goals and projections.
Cash Flow Models Cash flow projections are created for all funds to provide us with a view of future sources and uses within the various funds and
for the City as a whole. This assists in long range planning and goal setting in keeping all funds in a positive cash position.
Net Property Tax Cost for Sample Properties Developed many years ago, this provides information to the council incorporating expected increases
in valuation and projecting actual costs on sample properties within the City. The council when setting the tax levy is sensitive to its impact on property
owners and this benchmark provides information on how the recommended levy will impact city taxpayers. If the council feels the proposed levy will
negatively impact property owners options for reducing the levy are explored. These may include revenues alternatives or expenditure decreases or a
combination of both.
Net Tax Cost by Program This provides both a dollar and percentage of property tax support for each of the City's general fund programs and
demonstrates which city programs are most dependant on taxes. It also provides information to the public on what benefits they receive for their
tax dollars.
Capital Improvement Plan The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a five -year schedule or plan for capital improvement expenditures in excess
of $10,000 and having a useful life of five or more years. The Capital Improvement Plan process begins with departments editing and updating
existing plans from previous years and adding or deleting projects. Once this is completed, finance does an analysis of funding requirements and
any related prioritization is done by the city manager. The analysis includes a review of projected working capital amounts available for the
projects, any operating cost adjustments as a result of the improvement and the impact of future funding needs is determined. The mayor and
council then use the compiled information in the CIP along with the results of public discussion, to determine which projects are to proceed and
exactly how they will be funded. Once the CIP is approved the projects for the following year are placed in the appropriate budget.
Equipment Replacement Plan —The Equipment Replacement Plan (ERP) is a twenty -year forecast and a five -year plan of equipment needs
within the City. In is intended to inform the Council and citizens of the major equipment needs on the horizon. The first year of the plan becomes
an adopted equipment budget and relates to the operating budget of the equipment replacement fund, which is approved on an annual basis.
The remaining nineteen years represent an estimate of equipment needs and funding capabilities of the City. Funding requirements vary from
year to year. In order to maintain a fairly consistent levy each year, the twenty -year schedule is projected with a 3% inflation factor for operating
expenses and a yearly average dollar capital expenditure of $611,800. Revenues for the ERP are derived from charges to the departments that
use the equipment and are based on the equipment needs of the various departments over the twenty -year period.

APPROVED BUDGET SUMMARY ALL FUNDS
REVENUE SUMMARY
The total budget represents planned or anticipated revenues for all funds, excluding unbudgeted special revenue funds and capital project funds. The
amount of the annual total anticipated revenues fluctuates up or down from year to year, depending on special projects and grants which may occur
during the plan budget period. The budget provides guidelines to staff for City operations.
One purpose of the budget is to communicate the financial plans for the City and its allocation of resources. The budgeted revenues for all funds total
$23,252,636. The largest source of revenue by category is property taxes of $9,286,114 comprising 46% of total revenues. Property taxes are levied to
support the general fund activities, help pay debt and provide tax increment redevelopment funding sources. Successful tax increment projects have
helped create a larger tax base for the City. Currently the City is collecting tax increment revenues from several districts to pay off redevelopment notes,
redevelopment bonds and help in future redevelopment costs of properties within certain districts. Levy limits re- instated in 2004 were removed in 2005
and have been re- instated one again in 2009. While levy limits presents restrictions on the City's options with regards to budgeting it also presents
opportunities for the City to explore new revenue sources and more efficient ways to accomplish the same objectives with limited resources.

CITY OF HOPKINS
Utility fees for water, sewer. refuse and storm sewer account for $4,810,470 of the
City's revenue or 23.8 In 2007 a utility master plan was completed for the water,
sewer and storm sewer funds looking at anticipated revenues, expenditures and
planned capital improvements. The rate structure for each fund was then adjusted
to meet those needs. Beginning in 2008 and going forward rates will be adjusted as
set forth in the utility master plan. In doing so revenues should be adequate to meet
the future need of those systems. In 2008 an analysis of the Refuse fund was also
done and rates were adjusted to ensure we continue to meet operational and capital
needs. In 2009 rates for water, sewer, storm sewer, refuse and recycling were all
increased. Revenue projections are based on the Utility Master Plan as developed
by the City Engineer.

Charges for services, other than utilities are $1,353,947 or 6.7% of the
City's revenues. The City charges for plan reviews, special police or fire
services, parking permits for city parking facilities, facility rental,
concessions and ice time. Included in charges for services is $287,125,
which is charged to the general and special revenue funds for equipment
replacement. A large portion of the charges for services include plan
review fees from building permits and due to the economic downturn that
began in 2008 the budget for 2009 was set conservatively. While there is
still potential commercial re- development we did not want to rely on that
income when setting the 2009 budget. With the exception of building plan
review fees revenues for other charges remain stable. Finance relies on
plan review fee projections prepared by the City's Building Official and
input from departmental managers on the level of activity expected in their
departments when setting the budget for this revenue category.
2009 BUDGET
31
Special Assessments and Special Assessment Fees for housing projects are $672,460
or 3% of City revenues. Special Assessments are levied for street, sidewalk and alley,
water, sewer or storm sewer improvements that benefit private property. Special
Assessment fees are assessed every year to the specific housing properties that
benefited from the development projects. These projects allowed the City to improve
the value of the housing stock in several town home and condominium developments.
Special assessment revenues fluctuate with the number and amount of assessable
projects and have remained relatively stable the last few years. Special assessment
revenue projections are based on the special assessment rolls and scheduled payments
due in the budget year.
Permits, licenses and fines are $828,685 or 4% of revenues. Permit revenues are
dependant on the economy and on future development of the City. In 2007 permit
revenues increased due to a major commercial development returned to normal levels for 2008. In 2009 that same developer expanded their project
which will bring in additional permit revenues to the City. The permit fee revenue projection was prepared by the City's Building Official based on
knowledge of pending and anticipated projects. License revenue is based on the types of businesses licensed by the city and past year's collections.
In addition to the franchise fee collected on cable television, a franchise fee on electric and gas utilities was implemented in 2004 to help offset the loss of
state aids. It impacts residential properties by $1 per month on each of their electric and gas utility bills. The rate progresses higher for multiple dwellings
and commercial properties. Total franchise fees collected in 2008 will be about $460,000 or 2% of City revenues. While franchise fees on electric and
gas remain stable there is federal legislation that may limit the future of cable TV franchise revenues and therefore a more conservative approach was
taken to that portion of the franchise fee budget.

CITY OF HOPKINS
Total 2009 budgeted revenues increased from 2008 actual revenues due primarily
to increased tax increment receipts on a new development project and increases in
all City's utility rates. In 2007 two debt issues were sold totaling over $13 million.
When the debt issue is removed from that year revenues for 2006 to 2008 are
stable as shown in the chart to the above right.
Shown to the right is a chart showing the trends of three of our major revenue
sources. Taxes include both property taxes and tax increments which has shown
fluctuations due to decertification of several tax increment districts and the creation
of new districts within the city. Intergovernmental revenues fluctuate according to
state aid programs and the amount of funds the city is eligible for.
Shown on the following page is a chart showing the relationship between all revenue
sources.

City's annual appropriation. In 2009, employee salary and benefits increased by a modest 0.7 This small increase was due to the replacement of
several long -term employees who retired with employees who are at a lower pay scale. We expect this trend to continue over the next several years as
our workforce continues to age and retire. Hopkins has been fortunate to have a very stable long -term workforce, however we do have a number of
employees near retirement age and in 2009 we expect to receive notice of four more retirements, two in the police department and two in the water
department.
Materials, supplies and services make up 22% of appropriations at $5,732,873. This amount represents a 0.1% decrease over last year's budget. The
decrease is due to the completion of various economic development projects that staff had been working on with developers. However, fuel products,
heating and electricity, insurance and general inflationary increases contributed to an increase in the general fund. The costs in this category comprise of
consulting, professional services, office and general supplies, disposal costs, expenditure reimbursements and general operating costs.
Capital outlay and improvements can fluctuate substantially every year. In 2009, the appropriated amount is $2,148,500 or 10% of total appropriations.
Anticipated capital costs on a development project related to developer incentives make up the majority of budgeted capital appropriations. In addition
the City allocates equipment replacement costs to its general and special revenue funds to ensure that resources are available for replacement of
equipment when scheduled or necessary. The charges for equipment replacement are recorded in the materials supplies and services categories as
they do not directly relate to specific capital outlay expenditures but rather the cost of using city assets.
Debt service appropriations in 2009 decreased 0.26% as payments on bonds decrease the outstanding balance. Total appropriations for 2009 are
$3,234,502 or 15% of appropriations and include debt paid within the Enterprise Funds. Another 5% of appropriations are for depreciation of property and
equipment.
The six largest programs of the City in 2009 account for 70% of the appropriations budget and are as follows:
Tax Increment Finance $4.9 million
Police 4.3 million
Debt Service 2.8 million
Public Works 2.1 million

The growth in tax capacity from 2002 thru 2009 reflects overall increased market value of property in Hopkins from redevelopment. In 2002 the affects of
the changes implemented by the state on property classifications is evident. Although market values in Hopkins rose by 10% in 2002, the tax capacity
dropped over $5 million dollars. Below depicts tax capacity value over the last twelve years.

As the graph depicts, the tax capacity in Hopkins had remained pretty
level through 2000. However market values continued to rise every
year although the growth has softened under the current market
conditions. In 2002, tax capacity decreased substantially due to drastic
changes in property classification rates by the state. Up until 2008
Hopkins saw steady growth in tax capacity, however as in other cities
Hopkins too is seeing the impact of the country's current economic
conditions.

The City of Hopkins has been experiencing steady growth in its residential
property values. One goal of the city council is to preserve the current housing
stock and promote housing growth. The graph above depicts the achievement
of this goal. The housing stock has grown in Hopkins and the market value of
the residential properties has grown substantially. Commercial, Industrial and
Apartment properties have also experienced increases in market value.

CITY OF HOPKINS
As depicted above, the cities monthly service costs have risen. Historically, the monthly cost increases have been slight. In 2002, 2003 and 2004
however, we experience increases of $13, $9 and $9 a month respectively, for property tax supported city service costs. The larger than average
increases in monthly costs are due primarily for two reasons. In 2002 the state changed the property tax structure, causing the City portion of property
taxes to go up substantially. In 2003, the City levied $550,000 for the new facilities that was approved for construction in 2003. In 2004, the property
owner is seeing increases in property taxes for the completion of the facility project. In 2005 due to the decertification of three tax increment districts
additional tax capacity became available, thereby lowering property taxes for the average taxpayer.
An average residential property owner in Hopkins will experience a $43 annual increase in property taxes in 2009 due to economic conditions affecting
home values.

In 2009 the City continued its property tax levy for the purpose of
funding the debt for the construction of the new fire station, replacing
the public works storage facility and remodeling the police station.
2005 was the first full year of the franchise fee on electric and gas
bills. Water, sewer, storm sewer and refuse rates were increased to
meeting operating and capital objectives.
In 2009 Levy limits were again re- instated by the state legislature
limiting the increases to the General and Capital Levies. Debt and
PERA levies are considered special levies and are exempt from the
levy limit.

Special revenue funds, which experience changes in 2008, include Economic Development, Cable, Tax Increment Financing, Depot Coffee House, and
Art Center funds. The activities in the Economic Development and Tax Increment Funds encompass redevelopment and development of the City of
Hopkins. Projects currently underway include the Opus Office redevelopment for the Cargill Corporation and two condo /retail development projects. All
projects are redevelopment of blighted areas with new businesses and /or housing. The expenditures follow the goals of continued redevelopment to
expand the tax base in Hopkins. Both the Economic Development fund and the Cable fund support the Art Center with an operating transfer to help pay
for promoting, advertising and debt at the Art Center. The Depot Coffee House Fund changed operations in 2006 no longer operating the coffee house
portion of the business. By focusing on the teen center aspect the goals of the program can be better met. The coffee house operations are now done
by an independent operator, which has resulted in greater efficiencies and cost savings within that fund.
City tax capacity rates of 47.306% result in payments of $1,064 annually or approximately $89 per month for the average homeowner whose home is
valued at $225,000. Net property tax costs by program, was developed by crediting related revenues against appropriate programs expenditures.

Changes in Fund Balance
Fund balance is defined as the difference between a fund's assets and liabilities. Adequate fund balance is necessary to have funds for emergency or
unexpected events, to enhance the City's financial position and bond ratings, to provide cash for operations prior to receipt of tax revenues and to
maximize investment earnings.
Working capital balance, defined as current assets less current liabilities is carefully monitored to ensure enough financial flexibility to meet both short and
long -term goals for each fund.
The general fund used approximately $300,000 of its fund balance in 2008. This is the result of the Toss in state aids in the Market Value Homestead
Credit (MVHC) program, overtime in the police department due to a homicide investigation, motor fuel costs and costs in fuel related products. The
general fund is currently slightly short of its fund balance goal of 50% and is at 41 of expenditures. This is the result of increasing budget needs that are
2009 BUDGET

CITY OF HOPKINS
rising faster than the general fund reserves and the loss of state revenues due to state budget shortfalls. Staff will be meeting early in 2009 to address
additional expected shortfalls in state revenues and begin planning for the 2010 budget. At that time staff will also address how to improve the financial
position so that we meet our fund balance goal. This may involve new or revised revenue options, expenditure adjustments or a combination of all these
options.
The Tax Increment District Super Valu Special Revenue Fund will add $178,700 to its fund balance in 2008. The City has begun collections of tax
increment from the expanded tax increment district. These funds will be used for developer expenses as defined in the tax increment plan.
The Municipal State Aid (MSA) Capital Projects Fund has a significant receivable due from the State of Minnesota for the Excelsior Boulevard project.
These funds are released as the City is awarded its allotment each year. In addition other street projects that are MSA eligible will be in the queue for
funding once the receivable is paid down by the State. In 2009 revenues are slightly more than expenditures thus writing down the negative fund
balance.
The Permanent Improvement Revolving Capital Projects Fund will use all of its available reserves and go into a negative position for 2009. Typically
bonds are sold in alternate years to cover two years improvement projects. Due to the economy the bond issue scheduled for 2009 will be delayed until
2010 so that the new bond issue goes on the tax rolls in the same year another improvement bond issue goes off thereby having minimal impact on the
City's taxpayers.
The Taxable Housing Improvement Bonds of 1999B meets its fund balance requirements as set forth in the debt covenant.
The Water Enterprise Fund's working capital is projected to return to a positive status in 2009 following rate increases implemented pursuant to the Utility
Master Plan that was approved in 2007. The plan calls for annual incremental increases in water rates to adequately provide for operations, debt
retirement and capital projects. The water fund
The Sewer Enterprise Fund's working capital remains in a negative status despite annual rate increases implemented pursuant to the Utility Master Plan
that was approved in 2007. The plan calls for annual incremental increases in sewer rates to adequately provide for operations, and capital projects,
however fees paid to the Metropolitan Council for wastewater treatment costs have risen faster than projected. Staff will be reviewing and updating the
Utility Master Plan in 2009, however it will be several years before the sewer fund returns to a positive working capital position.
The Storm Sewer Enterprise Fund's working capital is projected to increase substantially in 2009 following the final rate increase implemented pursuant to
the Utility Master Plan that was approved in 2007. The system is setting funds aside for upcoming capital projects that are scheduled in the Utility Master
Plan.

redevelopments in Hopkins. The HRA levy was established for in 2002 to help fund operating costs to promote development efforts within the city. Due
to property tax increases the council eliminated the HRA levy temporarily and added a portion of this levy back in 2005 with continued increases annually
thereafter. Without a levy for this fund the normal operating costs to administer housing and redevelopment in Hopkins would absorb all the funds
available to assist with redevelopment projects. The Economic Development fund continues to meet its' fund balance goals.
The Housing Rehab fund will continue to use fund balance for normal operations. Fund balance use will continue into the future. This fund will need
another source of funding by 2016. This fund dropped below its fund balance goals in 2005.
The Parking fund will use a small portion of its fund balance for operations and approximately $10,000 for ramp maintenance. The city will need to
increase parking fees by approximately 10% every other year or there will not be enough funds to maintain the parking lots and cover operations.
Currently this fund is slightly above its fund balance goals.

The Cable TV fund continues to support the advertising and promotion of the Art Center.. The city has a cooperative agreement with the City of Golden
Valley to share the web and newsletter editor position which is funded with cable TV franchise fees. The council and staff continue to work hard at
relieving the Art Center promotional activity expense burden from the cable fund. Currently this fund exceeds its fund balance goals.
The Depot Coffee House after several years struggling financially evaluated its goals and mission and in 2008 decided to outsource the coffee house
portion of the operations to a private operator. This allowed the board to focus on the teen center mission thereby receiving grant funds to fulfill its
mission. The Depot Coffee House has been extremely successful in obtaining private foundation grants to continue its mission and in 2008 met its fund
balance goals and anticipates this continuing into the future.
The Art Center has yet to meet its fund balance goals due to the amount of debt as a result of building the facility in the mid- 1990's. The Art Center has
Tong -term lease arrangements with a theater company, the school district and an arts group that fund operations. It also receives $50,000 annually in
state aids along with supporting transfers from the Economic Development and Cable TV funds. The Arts Center is working to retire its debt but is
several years away from its targeted fund balance.
Tax Increment fund balance may be used to retire tax increment debt early. Currently all tax increment funds meet their combined fund balance goals.
Debt Service fund balance may be used to retire general obligation debt. All debt service funds meet their debt service needs.
The Refuse Enterprise Fund has several programs that are subsidized by the refuse rates. The City has explored charging separate fees for these services but
has met with resistance from the public. Staff continues to explore options for having these programs generate at least some revenue. Refuse rates and
recycling rates were increased in 2009.
The Pavilion Ice Arena's expenditures continue to exceed revenues; however staff is actively marketing the facility to various groups to increase off season
rental income. These efforts are paying off as rental bookings are up for 2009 and the facility is seeing repeat bookings. The facility has debt from facility
enhancements requested by the Hockey Associations that is being paid back pursuant to an amortization schedule; however these enhancements used a
significant portion of the funds working capital. Projections show the working capital in the black by 2015.

Debt Overview
The City of Hopkins has been conservative in its debt issuance practices and holds Standard and Poor's' AA- and Moody's A+ G.O. debt ratings. The
City's total outstanding debt on December 31, 2008, was $26,655,000. After reducing the outstanding debt by the amount supported by utilities, and
special fees, the per capita debt is $709.
The total debt principal and interest due in 2009 is $3,475,688, of which $1,257,000 is raised through direct tax levy. The remaining principal and interest
is paid with escrow funds, direct fees, utility fees, tax increments, and special assessments. As depicted in the graph below debt service requirements
continue to decline with a couple of spikes in 2015 and 2021. The requirements drop to $2,060,092 in 2016 and to $1,355,272 in 2022 before the final
issue matures in 2024. The ability to retire 75% of the City's debt in the next ten years is a major strength. The City is anticipating issuing new debt in
2010 for street improvements made in the years 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Minnesota State law limits the amount
of G.O. debt for any municipality to 2%
of market value, estimated to be
$1,675,107,400 in 2009. This
limitation provides reasonable
assurance of the municipality's ability
to pay. The legal debt limit for
Hopkins is $33,502,148; projected
debt subject to the legal limit for
Hopkins is $12,420,000.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital Improvement Plan
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a five -year schedule or plan for capital improvement expenditures in excess of $10,000 and having a useful life of
five or more years. The Capital Improvement Plan process begins with departments editing and updating existing plans from previous years and adding
or deleting projects. Once this is completed, finance does an analysis of funding requirements and any related prioritization is done by the city manager.
The analysis includes a review of projected working capital amounts available for the projects, any operating cost adjustments as a result of the
improvement and the impact of future funding needs is determined. The mayor and council then use the compiled information in the CIP along with the
results of public discussion, to determine which projects are to proceed and exactly how they will be funded. Once the CIP is approved the projects for
the following year are placed in the appropriate budget. The complete CIP is posted on the city's website and includes details of each project, the funding
sources and a city map showing the street projects for the next five years color coded by project year.
2009 Capital Improvement Projects
Building Improvements Scheduled for 2009 is wireless internet installation at the Hopkins Center for the Arts and Pavilion Arena bleacher heating
replacement. Increasingly there is an expectation by rental customers, presenters and business associates that a public facility the size and scope of the
Arts Center will have wireless Internet service. Having wireless internet access availability may increase the number of rentals as some organizations
may have chosen another venue based on wireless internet access. Arts Center management expects that wireless internet availability may increase
rental income by 10 -15% for 2009 and in addition eliminate the need for staff to arrange and set up internet service for customers thereby freeing staff to
attend to other tasks.
The Pavilion Arena bleacher heating system is 18 years old and no longer produces adequate heat due to deterioration of the major components.
Inadequate bleacher heat is a major complaint among Pavilion users. Replacement of the system is expected to annually save over $1,500 in utility
expenses
Parks Scheduled for 2009 is installation a picnic shelter in Interlachen Park and a picnic shelter and play equipment in Cottageville Park in addition to
the resurfacing of the Burns Park tennis courts and the repair of the Valley Park basketball court. Interlachen Park and Cottageville Park currently do not
have these facilities and their installation will enhance these two parks. Currently there are no operational savings that result from these projects as they
are new structures.
Repairs to the Burns Park tennis court include restoration of the asphalt surface to extend the life of the tennis courts. Operational savings are estimated
at $2,000 for 2009. Repairs to the Valley Park basketball court include replacing the existing asphalt which is beyond a skin coat repair. Operational
savings are estimated at $5,000 for 2009.
Utilities Included in the CIP for 2009 is annual storm drainage maintenance in the form of concrete alley repairs, water meter replacements in individual
properties and the installation of an emergency generator at the Elmo plant. Operational impacts are reduced maintenance costs within the utility funds
estimated at $5- 10,000 annually
Street Pavement Management A funding and implementation plan for repair and maintenance of Hopkins roadways exists. Needs are identified and
funded through State Aids, special assessments, utilities, tax increments and annual levies. This program identifies the most opportune time to repair
streets. In 2009 the City anticipates spending approximately $2,450,000 on street improvements. In addition to the City's share of costs, other
2009 BUDGET

CITY OF HOPKINS
government agencies will contribute approximately $400,000 towards street improvements in Hopkins. A proactive pavement management and
infrastructure improvement program aids in keeping public works maintenance costs to a reasonable level and as a result of the city's program,
maintenance costs have remained relatively stable over the last five years. Planned street reconstruction costs will save the city an estimated $25,000 in
sealcoating and crack seal expenses.

2009 Equipment Replacement Plan
In addition to the CIP, the City also completes an Equipment Replacement Plan (ERP). The ERP is a twenty -year forecast and a five -year plan of
equipment needs within the City. In is intended to inform the Council and citizens of the major equipment needs on the horizon. The first year of the plan
becomes an adopted equipment budget and relates to the operating budget of the equipment replacement fund, which is approved on an annual basis.
The remaining nineteen years represent an estimate of equipment needs and funding capabilities of the City. Funding requirements vary from year to

2009 Other Budgeted Capital Expenditures
Along with the Capital Improvement and Equipment Replacement Plans the city has the following capital items budgeted in the operating budgets of the
General and Special Revenue Funds. The first year an item is requested it must be funded within the department making the request. Once the item
has been funded it will be placed in the ERP for future replacement. All construction related capital items are always placed in the CIP regardless of the
funding source. Items with a value of $1,000 or greater are defined as capital expenditures within the General and Special Revenue Funds. Items with a
value of $5,000 or more will be placed in the ERP for future replacement once funded by the department making the request. The exception is capital
items in the Chemical Assessment Team Special Revenue Fund, which is fully funded by State of Minnesota HazMat grant dollars.
The following capital items have been budgeted in the General and Special Revenue Funds for 2009.

2009 BUDGET
General Fund
CITY OF HOPKINS
Property tax revenue is the amount needed to fill the gap between budgeted revenues and appropriations. The average increase in levy for the general
fund for years 2009 through 2013 is projected to be 3.9% which is within the state mandated levy limits that were re- instated for 2008. This projection
reflects an average annual appropriation increase of 5.26% for 2009 a slight decrease for 2010 with 2% in 2011 and 3% in 2012 and 2013. These
amounts may be reduced through appropriation cuts or new revenue sources. Also impacting the tax levy is the state cuts to the Market Value
Homestead Credit (MVHC) program that is a credit on homeowner's property taxes and reimbursed to cities by the state. Unfortunately due to the state
budget deficit the state reimbursement to cities was cut from the 2009 and most likely the 2010 budgets. This amounts to approximately a $250,000
reduction in revenues for the General Fund. This budget shortfall will be addressed by staff and the city council in the first quarter of 2009 and will involve
expenditure reductions across all departments.
Tax base growth is used as a guide in keeping the property tax increase to a reasonable level. Due to recent economic conditions the market value will
have minimal if any growth. However, the city is working with developers on several redevelopment projects that will contribute to the increase in the tax
base despite what current market trends indicate. Therefore Hopkins tax base will most likely stay stable or see an minimal overall decrease.
Franchise fees The City implemented an electric and gas utility franchise fee in 2004 to help offset the amount of tax levy needed to fund general
operations. The franchise fee has an optional sunset clause after two years. The franchise fee was renewed to December 31, 2007 and in late 2007 it
was again extended to December 31, 2009. The franchise fee is reviewed annually by the City Council and along with staff continues to analyze its
usefulness. In an effort to increase revenues staff will be recommending a change from a flat fee based charge to a percentage based fee. This would
be effective for the 2010 budget.
Intergovernmental revenue, which decreased substantially in 2003 and 2004, leveled off in 2005 and was stable over the next several years. Following
the state aid cuts of 2003 and 2004 funds received by the City of Hopkins from the State have remained the same until December 2008 when the second
half MVHC payment was cut due to the state deficit. In 2004, the City lost the remainder of its local government aid except $50,000, which is used to
assist with the operations of the Art Center. The second half LGA of $25,000 was also cut by the state. Local government aid is derived from sales tax
revenues and is allocated by the state legislature. Each year the State reviews its ability to make payments of Local Government Aid (LGA) and Market
Value Homestead Credit (MVHC), and the amount can increase or decrease based upon State Legislative action. In 2009, due to the state deficit it is
anticipated that the legislature will eliminate both the MVHC and the LGA payments to the city. Other significant forms of intergovernmental revenue
received by the city include police and fire aid, which is used to offset pension costs of the police and fire departments and municipal state aid for streets.
Licenses, permits and fines include building permits are dependant on new construction and remodeling projects. Based on projected new construction
projects and historical information a slight increase is projected for 2009 with revenues continuing to show small increases each year. Fine revenue
continues to be stable with slight increases due to implementation of license violation and administrative citations.
Various programs throughout the City generate charges for services. Charges are usually increased by an inflationary rate. The volume of activity
fluctuates every year. This revenue is forecast to increase 1` annually. Interest revenues are expected to remain level over the next five years. This is
based on the current state of the economy.
The general fund, which accounts for one third of the City's operating expenses, has a revenue budget of $10,075,492 and an appropriation budget of the
same. The increase in appropriations over 2008 is $503,325 or 5.26 The budget was specifically prepared with the intention of meeting the budget
goals, while assuring efficiency and effectiveness in all positions.
