Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 STAFF AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: SEPTEMBER 7, 2004 10 B RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROV AL OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING PROPOSED 2005 CITY BUDGETS AND CERTIFYING PRELIMINARY 2005 CITY OF PRIOR LAKE PROPERTY TAX LEVY TO SCOTT COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION DISCUSSION: Truth in Taxation statutes require that each "taxing authority" adopt a proposed budget and certify a preliminary tax levy for payable 2005 property taxes to the Scott County Department of Taxation on or before September 15, 2004. The purpose of this statutory requirement is to allow the County adequate time to prepare, calculate and mail "Truth in Taxation" notices of proposed property taxes for the county, school district, city and special taxing districts to taxpayers. History: The Council conducted its first financial planning workshop on June 7, 2004. The discussion that took place was fairly general. The objectives of the proposed 2005 general operating budget were reviewed along with possible program additions. Also, the City Council was approached as to any specific service priorities that should be incorporated into the budget for 2005. At the conclusion of the first budget study session, Council direction was for Staff to prepare an operating budget for 2005 that would accomplish these primary objectives while minimizing the property tax impact. Following this session the Council conducted its initial review of the proposed 2005 budget requests, including the general, water and sewer and transit enterprise fund budgets, at its second workshop on August 16, 2004. An explanation of the proposed property tax levy was reviewed along with an explanation of all new proposed budget expenditures. The Council acknowledged the budget to be responsive to community needs recognizing the fact that program growth, including capital expenditures associated with the Capital Improvement Program, is for the most part funded either by enhanced revenue sources or taxes generated by new valuation growth experienced by the city. Current Circumstances: The draft 2005 budget and the property tax levy it requires have the following characteristics: H: \BUDGET\05prelimbudrpt.doc www.cityofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 · The total property tax levy proposed represents an increase of 11 % that reflects the additional investment associated with the general obligation bonds that were issued to finance the downtown and street reconstruction improvements. · The budgets as proposed provide for a continuation of services at existing levels and for improvements in certain areas including planning, police (two officers) and parks departments. · Non-budget item increases include a Building Fund appropriation of $250,000 to reduce the amount of future lease purchase bonds necessary for the city hall/police station scheduled for 2006. Also the Contingency Reserve was increased to a level of $250,000 that represents approximately 2.5% of the proposed 2005 General Fund Budget. · The proposed 2005 budgets continue the focus of the Prior Lake 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan. ISSUES: The attached resolution incorporates a proposed 2005 General Fund Operating Budget of $9,675,333 representing a 8.63% increase above the current year and 10.6% when including the Contingent Reserve. A "Budget Summary" showing the increases/decreases of each respective department is attached. The initial property tax levy certification for 2005 as approved this evening may only be adjusted downward. As indicated below the City will be just under the levy limit that the state has established for us. Overall, the proposed "preliminary" tax levy of $7,314,969 IS comprised of the following elements: ...........-........................................ ........................................................................................................................................................................ i......................f.....!.~!~.?.~.~......... ....................................................... ...................................................+..................~.~.?~.~t 1 i ! i i ~........................................._.-....._.........................................................................................................................................................................i...............................................................................j I 1.

The new analysis includes the finalized fiscal disparities distribution that resulted in the proposed tax impact reduction. This valuation assumes market value increase due to appreciation, new housing construction and all value relating to improvements such as additions, etc. The "Property Tax Impact Analysis" compares a residential home in 2004 adjusted by an average market value rise of 8 Y2% for payable 2005 property taxes. H:\BUDGET\05prelimbudrpt.doc ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: REVIEWED BY: Attachments: H:\BUDGET\05prelimbudI1Jt.doc As shown on the "Property Tax Impact Analysis" the projected annual city property tax based upon the estimated 2005 tax capacity value, would be $744.73 on a $217,000 market value home, which approximates the median market value house in Prior Lake. This represents a 1.76% increase or $12.86 in city property taxes from 2004 to 2005. Individual property tax amounts will be subject to slight variations from these estimates depending upon inflationary market value adjustment increases as determined by the county assessor. Conclusion: Resolution 04-XX identifies the various city budgets and delineates the preliminary 2005 property tax levy breakdown. The City will hold a formal Truth in Taxation public hearing this year on Monday December 6, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. to allow for public comment.
