Home My WebLink AboutBM December 6, 1990 'j '-./ CITY OF ANDOVER REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE n~~~mh~r ~ 1QQO AGENDA SECTION NO. ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT Finance APPROVED FOR AGENDA ITEM NO. Public Budget Hearinn BY". Howard D. KOOliCk~ 1l'~"'''''''''''' n;r............. BY: REQUEST The Andover City Council has scheduled a public hearing to review and receive public comment regarding the 1991 budget and tax levy. Upon concluding discussion and public input, the Andover City Council is requested to adopt resolutions approving the budget and certifying the 1991 tax levy or reconvene the hearing on December 13th to approve these resolutions. BACKGROUND ." -" During the public hearing, we will need to discuss both the proposed tax levy and the 1991 budget. Each is handled individually below. "-' Also please note that there are four letters from residents who could not be at the hearing. TAX LEVY You all should have received notice of proposed property tax which showed the City increasing taxes 12.7%. This same information was included in an ad in the Anoka county Union. Both these notices and their format, were required by state law. The percentage increase did not take into effect changes in the two factors that affect property taxes. Those two factors, increases in valuation and the portion of the tax levy paid locally, are discussed below. At the last City Council meeting, discussion was held regarding the sewer budget and not levying a portion of the tax to pay the 1990 equipment certificates. Since the outcome of this matter was not known, all calculations have been made assuming no change in the levy. However, the resolutions have been prepared assuming .. h.. - ,.. ~ C! h,,'. . . MOTION BY '\ TO J COUNCIL ACTION SECOND BY ,J Increase in valuation The valuation used to calculate property taxes can be called the local tax base. This amount consists of the City's valuation (known as Net Tax Capacity) less the captured tax increment and the contribution to the fiscal disparity pool. Below is a summary of the change in the local tax base from 1990 to 1991: Percent 1990 1991 Increase Net Tax Capacity $ 7,043,958 $ 8,181,559 16.150% Less: Tax 'Increment captured Value 506,708 574,842 Fiscal Disparity Contribution Value 450,430 507,878 Local Tax Base $ 6,086,820 $ 7,098,839 16.626% :J This information shows that while the Net Tax Capacity (valuation) of the City has increased 16.150%, the Local Tax Base used to calculate the tax rate has increased 16.626% Portion of Taxes Paid Locally while the proposed levy is $1,521,700, only a portion of this amount is paid directly by the citizens. The remainder is paid by the state in Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid and through the fiscal disparity pool. An estimate of the Taxes Paid Locally for 1991 compared to 1990 is as follows: 1990 1991 Tax Levy $ 1,349,942 $ 1,521,700 (proposed) Less: Homestead & Agri. Credit Aid 356,833 352,042 Fiscal Disparity Distribution 197,246 303,462 Net Taxes Paid Locally $ 795,918 866,196 Percent Increase 12.72% 8.83% " ',J This calculation shows that while the City's actual tax levy may increase 12.72%, the portion paid locally will only increase 8.83%. This difference is due to a significant increase in the dollars received from fiscal disparities caused by a $300,000 increase in the valuation used to compute this amount and last years increase in tax rates caused by the shift in aid from the state. ~) Tax Capacity Rate The tax capacity rate, which is the substitute for mill rates, is the number used by the County to calculate taxes. The estimated rate for 1991 is 12.202%; down from the 1990 rate of 13.077%. The reason for the decrease is the slower growth in the taxes paid locally than the local tax base. To put is simply, the tax base is growing faster than the tax increase. Effect on a sample Property To see how this would affect a sample property, I calculated the taxes on the property used in last February's newsletter article. Below is a 'comparison of the 1989, 1990 and proposed 1991 taxes. 1989 1990 $ 91,100 1991 $ 91,900 Market Value $ 87,100 Taxes Paid Total $ 108.90 $ 149.34 $ 141. 30 $ 317.02 $ 329.42 $ 363.30 $ 593.97 $ 546.94 $ 603.32 $1,019.89 $1,025.70 $1,107.92 City of Andover ~ County of Anoka School Dist. #11 The above table does not include other taxing districts which include Met Council and Metropolitan Mosquito Control District. These organizations account for a minor part of the property's tax. In 1989 and 1990, the tax paid for these entities was approximately $15.00 annually. No estimate for 1991 is available. 1991 BUDGET At this meeting we will be discussing the 1991 General Fund budget and the 1991 Debt Service Fund Budgets. The Water and Sewer Budgets were either approved on December 4th or will be approved in the near future. The PIR Fund budget was tabled until this spring. \ '-~ OOO.:;.OOOOOT"'tOaJr--......

These other sources, building permits, court fines and other local revenue, account for almost 40% of the General Fund Budget. The portion of the tax increase allocated to the General Fund is $125,072. The following is an attempt to isolate the uses of this amount: Reinstatement of Seal coating Program Salary Increases of 4% Various Increases Estimated For Costs of New Fire Stations Increase in Assessing Costs Increase Attorney Fees for Prosecution $50,924 20,132 42,050 5,000 9,500 Total $127,606 Please note that these are the major increases. There are a number of departments that have budgets with minor increases and even some with decreases in their budgets. Since the General Fund accounts for a number of revenue sources and expenditure types, there is no way to isolate exactly what the tax increase is funding. In the Certificate of Indebtedness Fund, the increase of $46,686 is for funding of additional equipment purchases financed over 5 years. The actual amount levied will be very similar to last year if City Council approves the sewer budget containing the transfer to the Certificate of Indebtedness Fund. Proposed Budget Amendments There are two items for which I believe the budget should be amended. First, several meetings ago, the City approved a joint powers agreement for fiscal disparity lobbying. This amount should be transferred from the Contingency line to Financial Administration. Secondly, the allocation of the City Administrator/public Works Director's salary has been reviewed. Based on this review, it is my belief that 20% of his salary and benefits should be paid by the Water and Sewer Funds. Therefore, this amount should be deducted from the various departments and added to the Contingency line. The following page contains a table showing these adjustments. . ) '--' Department to Increase Financial Administration Contingency Contingency Contingency Contingency "\ ,~~) Contingency Contingency Contingency Department to Decrease Contingency streets and Highways Snow and Ice Removal storm Sewers Street Signs Park and Recreation Engineering Administration Amount Reason $1,250 Allocate Costs for Fiscal Disparities Joint Powers Agreement to proper department $1,110 To allocate 20% of Public Works Director salary and benefits to water and sewer funds. $ 267 To allocate 20% of Public Works Director salary and benefits to water and sewer funds. $ 267 To allocate 20% of Public Works Director salary and benefits to water and sewer funds. $ 267 To allocate 20% of Public Works Director salary and benefits to water and sewer funds. $ 832 To allocate 20% of Public Works Director salary and benefits to water and sewer funds. $3,889 To allocate 20% of Public Works Director salary and benefits to water and sewer funds. $7,225 To allocate 20% of Public Works Director salary and benefits to water and sewer funds. The effect of these adjustments on the contingency line would be to add an additional $12,607. Below is a summary of the budget with these amendments: .~J General Government Public Safety Public Works Park and Recreation Recycling Economic Development Other Contingency Total $ 585,269 838,813 478,054 231,897 -0- 16,544 38,000 35,870 2,224,447 . '\ ,~ I believe the level of the Contingency line should be maintained as high as possible to allow flexibility needed to comply with comparable worth and to deal with the potential for state aid cuts as the state attempts to balance its budget. ~ '\ ,~ o Brian A.

Coon Rapids, MN 55433 Dear Sir: ~J This letter is in response to a letter that my husband and I recently received regarding Proposed increases in the Property Taxes. This is to put on record that we are strongly opposed to the amount of tax increase proposed by the School District I believe that the voters of the school district sent you a message loud and clear when we voted down the proposed increase in the School District funds through a tax increase in November. I understand the problems the School District is facing and I strongly support your actions against the State. However, I do not believe the school district has dug deep enough to cut waste and "trim the fat". I work in a large corporation and when Revenues do not cover expenses, we have to look for ways to cut expenses. It is painful. However, part of the pain to me personally is a wage freeze or very minimal pay increase. I am sure that other people are feeling the same sort of pain and the last thing we need is another tax increase. We have two small children, the oldest is in Kindergarten. We chose to live in the Anoka School District because it has an excellent reputation for education. I trust that even with cuts in certain programs, the School District will be able to maintain a top notch core program to instruct our children. Please understand our position. A tax increase of the magnitude which you are seeking is out of the question and does not receive our support, nor the support of many of our neighbors and friends who live the School District. Find a way to cut your costs and propose a much smaller increase of only 4 - 5%. Thank-you. YJ~ ~~ Valorie Bornetun 141-150th Lane N.W. Andover, MN. 55403 cc: Mayor'S Office 1685 Crosstown Blvd. N.W.

It is time to stop spending more and more and to begin to consider where the budgets can be trimmed rather than constantly increased each year. The proposed increase is unreasonable and will work a great hardship on the residents of Andover, especially those who are retired or already burdened with sizeable family expenses.

I think it'S time to stop spending more and assuming that the tax payers "ill foot the bill for everything. start looking for ways to trim the existing budget. The proposed increase is unreasonable and will work a great hardship on the residents of Andover, especiallY those who are retired and those that are out of work due to the slumping economy. Hopefully these letters that yoU receive mean something to yOU and your office. out of all the places that we chose to live we picked Andover. Please keep it an economicallY attractive place to live. ;::;;~~ Guy J. Mahmarian Linda J. Mahmarian 1484-148th Lane NW Andover, MN 55304 (612)434-4728
