BACKGROUND/J U STI FI CATION:
The City Council and staff began the budgeting process back in May, and have met in ten special city
council meetings, which are work session settings in preparation and review of the operating budgets,
property tax levy, and capital improvement plan.
The proposed General fund budget is a balanced budget, with expenditures totaling $6,611,457. When
compared with 2020, this is an increase of 4.73%. These expenditures are funded with property taxes being
the primary source of revenue, which accounts for 70% of all revenues.
The Public Utility budgets include the Water, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Water funds. The primary sources
of revenues for these funds are from charges for services to customers of the public utilities. The expenses
are comprehensive, and include operating expenses, depreciation, capital outlay, debt service and
interfund transfers. The utility funds have cash flow projections which are monitored and updated multiple
times per year. The rates for the charges for services to customers have been analyzed, and current
recommendations for increases have been included in the budgets. The respective rates will be analyzed
further when the end of the year financial information is available. Staff will make a final recommendation
to the Council for the 2021 rates sometime in February, with any rate changes becoming effective with the
March billing.
The Debt Service Funds budget includes revenues and expenditures for each of the City's seven
outstanding bond issues. The primary sources of revenues include property taxes, special assessments and
utility availability/connection charges. These revenues along with fund balance will repay the principal and
interest on the respective bond issues.
The Special Revenue Funds budget includes activity for the City's Economic Development Revolving and Tax
Increment Districts Funds. The expenditures within these funds are for tax abatement agreements and TIF
pay -as -you go note agreements, respectively. These expenditures are funded through a property tax levy
and tax increments, respectively.
The proposed property tax levy accounts for General fund revenues, Capital fund reserves, Debt Service
repayments and Tax Abatements. The total proposed levy is $7,828,425. The most recent information
available from Wright County shows the City's net tax capacity increased to a total of $22,620,843 (10.36%
from 2020). All of this calculates to an estimated City tax rate of 34.607, which is down (1.40%) from the
prior year rate of 35.099. In the end, this means that any increase in the City's portion of property taxes is
driven by that respective properties increase in market value.
The proposed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) covers the years of 2021-2030. A summary of the CIP is
included and is organized by funding source. Inclusion of an item within the CIP does not commit final
approval by the City Council, rather it directs staff to plan towards and gather necessary information for an
educated final approval on each respective item. Each individual item is planned, researched and brought
back to City Council for final approval when the respective item is ready to move forward.
