Council Report 2013-124
City of Hopkins
2014 BUDGET MEETING AND
2014 TAX LEVY AND GENERAL AND SPECIAL
REVENUE FUND BUDGETS
Proposed Action
Following the 2014 budget hearing and there being no further changes to the 2014 budget, staff
recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to Adopt Resolution 2013-076 approving_
the 2014 tax levy and adopting the 2014 General and Special Revenue Fund budgets.
Adoption of this motion will result in staff forwarding the appropriate documentation to
Hennepin County for inclusion on property taxes for 2014 and will approve the 2014 General
and Special Revenue Fund budgets.
Overview
The City Council and staff have held a number of meetings and work sessions during 2013 to
prepare for the 2014 general fund budget and 2014 tax levy. This evening we are taking input
from the public on the 2014 budget.
During 2013 the council adopted the Capital Improvement Plan and the Equipment Replacement
Plan, which along with a series of program and budget discussions were instrumental in the
development of the 2014 budgets.
The budget in its current form recommends spending in the general fund at $10,946,129 and a
total tax levy of $10,416,235. The levy includes provisions for general fund operations and debt
obligations. In addition, a HRA levy of $273,980 was a separate action item by the HRA Board.
Staff is recommending that the council adopt the resolution approving the tax levy for 2014 and
setting the 2014 general and special revenue fund budgets.
Primary Issues to Consider
The state mandates certification of the 2014 levy to the County Auditor no later than
December 28, 2013.
