Decreased level of investment interest earnings. Need to balance expectations associated with resource allocations and service provision levels. Levy limits for cities mandated by the 2013 legislature.
Budget Challenges • $500,000 of annual expenditures associated with Federal and State mandates regarding maintenance of storm water system. • NPDES – National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System • SWPPP – Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program • Reduction of City Council Contingency Fund to ½% from 1% (one year only).
Budget Challenges • Rising costs translating to higher prices charged to the City for operating supplies and services (0% was allocated for line item goods and services) • Increasing personnel costs –pension and health care. A 2% cost of living increase is proposed. Reductions in staff hours and reallocation of IT staff hours. • Aging infrastructure – analysis of the pro forma statements contained in the Financial Management Plan (FMP) to provide adequate funding of future infrastructure needs. Commitment of local government aid allocations to infrastructure.
History of Tax Levies 2006-2014 Tax levies for the City of Champlin decreased from 2008 to 2012. The increase in 2013 was the result of decertification of the tax increment district providing the ability to increase the levy without increasing taxes for property owners.
General Fund Revenue Base Note: Fluctuations occur in revenue from other sources due to the uncertain nature of certain revenue streams such as building permit revenues, fines, etc. The years 2008-2012 reflect actual numbers and the years 2013-2014 reflect budgeted amounts. The City historically budgets conservatively for these revenue streams. Note: The City is currently scheduled to receive $237,533 in local government aid in 2014. Due to the volatility of this revenue stream, the revenue will be used for infrastructure replacement rather than to fund operations.
