Re: 2008 Budget Workshop
As part of our first 2008 budget workshop I thought I
would lay out a rough schedule for future work shops.
For the first workshop on Monday, July 30 we will
review the 2006 budget based on the first six months
results, and review the proposed 2008 budgets starting
with Public Works and Building Safety. All department
heads will be present at the meeting.
For the second workshop on Wednesday, August 15 we
will review proposed 2008 budgets of all of the
remaining departments not covered at the July 30
meeting. All department heads will be present.
For the third workshop on Wednesday, September 5 we
should have received our tax capacity information from
Wright County and can set our preliminary tax levy. Of
the department heads only Gary and I will be at this
meeting. Gary will review the Health Insurance
information with the Council. After that Gary will
leave and I will review my salary study and the
department heads salary recommendations with the
Council.
GENERAL INFORMATION
I know the following items will be of interest as you
are reviewing the budgets.
HEALTH INSURANCE
Gary and I met with KC Foster for a preliminary review
of our health insurance. Because our health insurance
now starts on January 1s we will not receive our
premium for 2008 until November 1 KC said this year
most of his clients are seeing increases between 10 %-
15%. Gary is using a 12% increase for preliminary
budgeting purposes. Gary will have a report on the
savings the City has experienced by switching health
plans at the September budget workshop.
SALARY ESTIMATES
I will have a report on similar sized and surrounding
cities' salaries at the September budget workshop.
After discussion with department heads for preliminary
budgeting purposes I am using a 7% increase.
FUND BALANCE POLICY
our General Fund balance has fallen below the amount
our auditor recommends. We should think about whether
we want to build an actual surplus into the 2008 budget
to help increase our fund balance.
PROPERTY TAX REVENUES
For the first time we are seeing significant
delinquencies in the payment of property taxes. In the
past these delinquencies so small we didn't have to
take notice of them. So as to budget conservatively,
Gary and I recommend that we actually anticipate we
will only receive 95% of the taxes we will levy for
2008.
I have enclosed a copy of the 2007 budget figures as of
June 30 and a copy of the proposed 2008 budgets for all
departments.
