Action Sought
Approve the proposed FY 2016 Proposed Property Tax Levies, Preliminary General Fund

Background
The City of Shakopee is required to comply with the statutory deadlines for submittal of
the property tax levy to Scott County and must certify the levy before September 30, 2015.
The levy amount that will be certified to Scott County before September 30th, 2015 is the
base for budget work that will be brought back to City Council for continuing budget
discussions in October and November.
The final levy, which cannot be higher than the preliminary levy, but can be lower, will be
brought to Council for approval at the December 1st City council meeting. This will also
be the date that will serve as the Public Input Meeting for local residents to discuss the
2016 budget and levies. This date will appear on the "Parcel Specific Notices" that will be
send to each property owner in November, 2015.
City Staff recommends the City Council adopt the property tax levy as reviewed and
discussed by the City Council on August 5th. The preliminary levy increase represents a
5.1 % increase over the 2015 levy.

Budget overview
Personnel
Cost of living increase
Union contracts are settled for 2016 and include a 3% cost of living increase. As in past
years, non-union cost of living increases will be projected at the same level as union.
PERA
Effective Jan. 1, 2015, for coordinated members of the general employees' retirement plan
of PERA, both employer and employee base contributions increase from 6.25% of salary to
6.50% of salary. As before, this percentage is in addition to any contribution rate
adjustment provided by Minn. Stat. § 353.27. The contribution rate for a basic member of
the general employees retirement plan remained at 9.10% of salary. There are no changes
for 2016.
Insurance
For 2016 we are anticipating an increase of 5% in health insurance costs.
Organizational Structure
In 2015 the Council approved an organization structure change. For 2015, increases in
wages/benefits were accounted for with vacant positions. The full impact of the
organizational structure change in 2016 will be approximately $157,000. Included in the
organizational change is the addition of a Human Resource Manager and a Planning
Manager.
Levy Limits
At this time there are no levy limits for 2016.
Capital Improvement Program
As part of the 2016 budget process, we will be presenting a 5 year planning model for
Engineering and Parks. The model is intended to show stakeholders the results of current
budget actions and provide scenarios for future actions at the staff and Council level. This
format integrates the current 5 year capital plan and 2016 budget. The plan provides
information and analysis on Capital Funds, including Park Funds, as well as the Sanitary
and Surface Water Enterprise Finds. The Capital Improvement Program is prepared by
City staff, reviewed by the Planning Commission for conformance with the Comprehensive
Plan. It is then submitted to the City Council for approval.
Transfers
Transfers to others funds are consistent with 2015 with an increase in the transfer to the CIF
fund.
