General Fund 2009 Budget r Wi CITY- OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum TO: Mayor and Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Gregg Voxland, Finance Director SUBJ: General Fund 2009 Budget DATE: January 31, 2008 Attached is a schedule showing a possible scenario for the General Fund 2009 budget. The city has relied on tax base growth to pay for expanding services for many years. Recent market conditions present the possibility of no increase in tax base for the 2009 budget. The assumptions in the attached schedule are: 1. No change in General Fund tax levy for 2009. 2. MVHC is not included ($530,000). 3. Franchise tax not implemented. 4. No new fees or other revenue sources. 5. Other revenue sources almost unchanged. 6. Expenditure increases as shown in the lower box. The deficit shown for 2008 ($892,410) is mostly covered by the estimated under-spend of $682,000 (4%). Council should consider a lower percentage for 2009. Very preliminary market value numbers will be available in March when the valuation notices go out with the 2008 tax statements. The County Auditor will pull a sampling of data to get a very preliminary estimate of what tax capacity may be. The next set of data will be in late July after the Board of Review results are in. Final tax capacity numbers would not be until February of 2009 when calculations are finalized for generating the 2009 tax statements. Based on the assumptions, the 2009 budget gap could be a million plus. That is equivalent to 10 - 12 employee positions. It is recommended that Council: 1. Evaluate any employee hiring and spending initiatives for 2008. 2. If there are staffing reductions, it should be done in 2008 to avoid 2009 costs for unemployment and severance benefits. 3. Evaluate services/programs/committees implemented in recent years to see if-they should be continued. 4. Prioritize all existing services and service levels to determine funding levels. 5. Pursue energy efficient ideas for all city buildings and activities. 6. Decide whether to replace the water slide of just remove it. Tax support for the aquatics program over the past 4 years has ranged from about 70% ($234,000) in 2004 to 54% ($298,000) in 2007. 7. What amount (if any), the operating levy should increase. v o ~o m o uDi v n~~~ ~ m o v n~cn~ K o-i~_nn~ r-I~ ~ C~ ~ n m ai~.n~cQ T v~ v.~'.n v m v v v~ m x m ~ -~f ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ y W ~ o ~ ~ C ~ y ~ ~ y ~ y ~ ~ ~ ~ c (n ~ cp o ~ ~ S O Q~ Q 7 to ~ ~ 2 y y~ (n ~ C ~ ~ol~mnv0 n' ~ n' m ~ N O Q~ x X CD fD (D Z ~ O fn ~ ~ ~ (D (D (7 y N ~ y '6_ ~ O .C ~ fD y T O ~ O S lD ~ r; CD (D `G 7 O d N (D n ~ ~ ~ _ N c~ C ~ p V ~ N~ A V ~ W V N~ ~ (D y (OD W ~ N O ~ Oo ~ COJt ~ ~ V UNi V ~ CO W IO C n ~ v W C77 V OD N O W~ W N W Ul V W A Cf ~ UlN 67 V ~OOOCJ7 W CJIO V OCOOUI ~ K Q V O O ~ O W OD O W O 00 O~ V O W N W o W ~ X 0 0 0 00 V O OD W t0 CO O OD fOD N O b9 y ~ ~ S ~ (O N W~ ~ ~I CTt ~ ~ W W N CDf O ~ IO ~ ~ O ~ O O) O W V CO Cfl V OOD W?
