HomeMy WebLinkAbout8A - 1994 Final Tax Levy DATE: INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND: DISCUSSION: ALTERNATIVES: 8 (A) RALPH TESCHNER FINANCE DIRECfOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 93-107 ADOPTING 1994 PRIOR LAKE BUDGET AND CERTIFYING FINAL 1994 CITY OF PRIOR LAKE TAX LEVY TO SCOTI' COUNTY AUDITOR DECEMBER 20, 1993 The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of the City of Prior Lake's 1994 Operating Budget and to certify the City's flnal1994 property tax levy to the Scott County Auditor's Office. The budget process started in the beginning of June with the Council approving an initial budget timetable. Since then, three workshops were held on July 19th, August 30th and October 18th, 1993. The process concluded with the budget public hearing conducted on 12/8/93 and concluded on 12/15/93. Final budget reductions of $64,605.00 resulted in a $4,779,110 Operating Budget These cuts resulted in trimming back the operating expense levy increase percentage from 9% to 5.47% as directed by the City Council. This further reduced the estimated property tax increase on the average $110,000 home in Prior Lake by $15.00 from approximately $146.00 to $131.00. Also, with these revisions, the final property tax levy amount of $2,798,395.00 will produce a net taxation for 1994 of $2,427,120 after fiscal disparities aid deduction. As indicated in the attached Resolution 93-107, special debt levies outside the scope of our 1994 operating budget account for $613,000.00. The following alternatives are available to the City Council: 1. Approve Resolution 93-107 thereby adopting the City of Prior Lake's 1994 Operating Budget and final property tax levy. 2. Reduce the property tax amount within Resolution 93-107 and approve an adjusted operating budget as determined by Council consensus. RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend that the City Council approve Resolution 93-107 as submitted as this is the last date for City Council action. The final property tax levy must be certified to the Scott County Auditor's Office no later than 5 working days after December 20th (December 28, 1993) as prescribed by Minnesota statute. ACTION REQUIRED: A motion to approve Resolution 93-107 Adopting 1994 Prior Lake Budget and Certifying Final City of Prior Lake Tax Levy to Scott County Auditor.
