~ General Fund Budget
The General Fund proposed budget reflects an increase of
$214,553. The additional revenue required to maintain a
balanced budget include increases in the tax levy of $182,316
and Licenses and Permits of $20,697, increases in some local
revenue sources of totaling $25,198 which is offset by
decreases in other local sources of $13,658.
Additional expenditures in the General Fund include:
Increased costs for the assessing
contract with Anoka County
Increased costs for the police
contract with Anoka County
Re-instating the street seal coating
and crack sealing program
Increased number of street lights
New personnel for:

~)
The above are partially offset by the non-election year
savings in the City Clerk's office.
Debt Service Funds
The Debt Service Funds budgets reflect decreases in activity
compared to prior years resulting from prepayments of special
assessments and smaller bond maturities than previous years.
Expenditures are primarily the payment of bond principal and
interest and are subject to little fluctuation. Two temporary
bond issues mature during 1993. Refinancing will be considered
prior to maturity after analyzing the outstanding assessments
and prepayments.
The revenues in these funds are primarily special assessment
payments which can vary greatly from year to year.
Tax Levy
The City, proposes to increase taxes $169,350. The vast
majority of this increase $41,500 relates to re-instating the
street sealcoating and cracksealing program, and $51,263
relates to the net costs incurred by additional personnel.

\
, ) Prospects for the Future
It is anticipated that the City will continue to see the
growth in residential construction that has characterized the
City in the past. However, it is unclear how this growth may
affect future budgets and tax levies since the State of
Minnesota has, over the last four years, made numerous
decisions that have had a major impact on City finances.

The City budgets on a calendar year basis in accordance with a
variety of state laws. These laws, known as truth in taxation
laws, require the City to meet deadlines as follows:
* Prior to September 15th; The City must adopt a proposed
tax levy and budget.
* Between November 30th and December 21st; The City must
hold a public hearing on the proposed tax levy and
budget and adopt a final tax levy and budget. The
final tax levy cannot exceed the preliminary tax
levy.
* Prior to December 28th - The City must Certify to the
County Auditor, the amount of the final tax levy.
Failure to meet these deadlines results in the City being held
to the amount of taxes levied in the prior year.
In order to meet the deadlines listed above, the budget
process begins in late spring as department heads begin
planning for the upcoming year. In late June or early July,
the City Council is presented a preliminary budget, which is
refined and amended until its adoption prior to September 15th.

Revenue
The city's major revenue sources include special assessments,
interest earnings, license and permit fees, tax levies and a
variety of state aids. The allowable use and amount of each
type of revenue is prescribed and limited as follows:
* Special assessments are used solely for the payment of
debt for which the assessments are pledged.
Assessments are levied against property benefitted by
an improvement such as street construction, water and
sewer installation and storm drainage construction.
Prior to levying an assessment, the affected property
owners are notified of the potential assessment to
allow them to comment on the improvement.

roadways within the City.

charged to the individuals applying for such items.

TAX LEVY
Minnesota State law governs the amounts and purposes for which
the City can levy taxes. The tax levy set by the City consists
of two components. The first, a general levy, is the tax
levied to finance general operations which are accounted for
in the City's General Fund.
The second component of the tax levy is the debt service levy.
These taxes are levied to pay the principal and interest on
bonded debt issued by the City. Under state law, debt
exceeding a certain value must be approved by citizens through
an election. Debt under this level, which is used primarily
for equipment certificates of indebtedness, can be issued
without voter approval.
Each portion of the levy is decreased by state aids and fiscal
disparity distributions to arrive at the portion of the tax
levy actually paid by property owners. After these reductions,
the total levy to be paid by property owners, is $1,207,840.
This amount represents a 2.46% decrease from the 1992 amount.
It should be noted that
approximately 15% of a

PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
Building Trends
The City of Andover has been characterized by rapid growth in
residential housing over the last several years. Despite it's
ups and downs, it is anticipated that the increase in new
housing will continue and will be comparable to 1991. This
increase in residents and streets will continue to put a
strain on the operations of the city's General Fund.
Relationship with the State of Minnesota
Recent history shows that the City is subject to the political
decisions made at the State level. During both 1990 and 1991,
the State Legislature and Governor have reduced aid to cities
in mid-year without giving the City the opportunity to recoup
this lost revenue. For 1992, aid was also reduced, however
the City was allowed to increase taxes in this amount.
The state has removed the levy limitation for 1993. But
within the current weak economy, funding the desired service
levels will continue to place extreme pressure on limited
resources. Actions taken by the state to reduce their own
budget problems, such as requiring sales tax on local units of
government further erodes the purchasing power at the local
level.
Debt
The City anticipates issuing new debt in 1993, however not to
the extent of previous years. The City has two temporary
improvement bond issues which may need refinancing and several
construction projects which need to be financed in 1993.
