On Monday evening, August 16, 1993, you will be meeting in a joint work session with the Financial Commission to review the 1994 preliminary budget. It will be a difficult budget year as we have a number of factors coming in to play which will reduce our nontax revenues and magnify any property tax impacts. On Monday evening we will have a presentation and materials which will provide additional information. The Council should remember, as in previous years, our revenue and tax impact estimates are preliminary at this time. Additional data from the state and county will be forthcoming by the middle to the end of September which will allow us to finalize these estimates. Attachment CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date Agenda Item Number REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: 1994 CITY MANAGER'S PRELIMINARY BUDGET AND PROPERTY TAX LEVY REPORT DEPT. APPROVAL: PRELImINARY Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager MANAGERS REVIEW/RECONEVIENDATION. No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) Attached is a summary of the 1994 City Manager's Preliminary Budget. This preliminary budget is designed to give the City Council sufficient information to approve a preliminary 1994 property tax levy and budget total by the September 15, 1993, certification deadline established by State law. Counties are responsible under the same law and regulation for mailing parcel specific tax notices notifying property owners of the required hearings to be held by cities, schools, counties, and other taxing districts between November 15 and December 20 of each year. Under State law, cities must finalize their property tax levies and budgets prior to December 30, 1993. The 1994 preliminary budget is being submitted based on preliminary estimates of revenues and expenditures. Please understand these are preliminary figures which must be finalized in October and November and, as in past years, are subject to considerable modification and change. The 1994 preliminary maximum budget levy of $5,845,867 would increase taxes on a $73,000 Brooklyn Center home by $32.63 per year or $2.72 per month. During October and November we will have more reliable figures on which to finalize the 1994 proposed budget. As in previous years, the City Council should understand whatever you set the preliminary tax levy at for the 1994 budget, it cannot be exceeded at a later time. You can levy less than what you establish in the preliminary 1994 levy but you cannot increase it. While you certify the 1994 preliminary proposed budget amount in the same fashion as the levy, the law allows you to increase the total budget amount but not the property tax levy amount. There are a number of significant factors which contribute to the complexity of preparing the 1994 preliminary budget and levy report and they are as follows: 1. The 1994 preliminary budget calls for an increase in expenditures over 1993 of $414,367 (3.91 %). A major increase in the 1994 preliminary budget has occurred due to increased capital outlay requests from all departments. The increased capital outlay amounts to $279,410 of the total budget increase of $414,367. The budget includes the addition of two police officers financed by saving from changing to the Hennepin County dispatch system. The two proposed officers would start employment upon actual transfer of the dispatch function during 1994. 2. The 1994 preliminary budget reflects the auditor's recommendation of establishing a central garage internal service fund. 3. Because there will be a general election in 1994, and there was none in 1993, the elections budget increases significantly ($20,400). 4. Last year the City Council established a program of phasing out the certificates of indebtedness sold in previous years. The 1994 preliminary budget calls for the use of surplus debt service fund money to pay off all existing outstanding certificates of indebtedness. This reduced the 1994 preliminary levy. 5. This year we propose to initiate the use of an estimated 2% uncollectible allowance for property tax revenues. This is intended to finance any anticipated shortfall in property tax collections, which we estimate to be $114,946. This proposal increases the 1994 preliminary levy. 6. Lodging tax revenues have decreased. This is largely due to the loss in revenue from the Park Inn and this amounts to a loss of $40,000 in revenue. 7. Liquor licenses are projected at $13,200 less than 1994 again due to the fact that Park Inn has not renewed its license and we question whether they will renew in 1994. 8. In 1993 we estimated recreational revenues, largely due to water slide revenue, at too high of a level. We are adjusting those revenues down $131,003 and also reducing expenditures a significant amount as our expenditures in 1993 for the water slide were also estimated at too high a level. 9. Fines and forfeitures are declining 28% from the 1993 estimate. This is a continuation of a four -year trend towards lower court fines. Revenues have been stable at the new projected rate for about 18 months and so we may have hit the bottom of this trend, but it does represent a $56,000 decrease from 1993. One of the additional complicating factors in the 1994 budget will be the tax impact on homestead single - family homes will be magnified by the fact that our commercial and industrial tax base has shrunk from its 1993 levels. Because commercial and industrial properties pay a significantly higher property tax rate as a percent of value, when their value drops, those taxes shift to other properties and in this case largely to single- family homestead properties. Our assessor points out the 3.91% increase in our overall budget will result in an increase of 17.83% in the tax on a $73,000 Brooklyn Center home. A significant portion of this increase is due to a shift in taxes from commercial and industrial to homestead properties because of the reduced value and lowered classification rates of commercial and industrial properties in Brooklyn Center. This is a phenomena which is 2 impacting virtually all communities. As the Council reviews the 1994 preliminary budget, you can use a rule of thumb that each $100,000 in levy (spending) equates to a $4.18 annual tax increase on an average $73,000 home. I recommend the City Council approve the attached resolution setting the 1994 preliminary property tax levy for Brooklyn Center at $5,845,867 and the preliminary 1994 budget total at $11,176,361. Under State law, the preliminary property tax levy cannot be exceeded once the City Council approves the preliminary budget. The budget figure can be exceeded later if authorized by the City Council. Because you can only lower the preliminary property tax levy, we recommend the 1994 preliminary levy be set on the high side to allow you flexibility in considering the proposed 1994 budget and levy in December. It is my intention to submit to the City Council the City Manager's Proposed Budget for 1994 by mid - October. This document will have more reliable figures in which you can make intelligent and informed decisions. This preliminary document is designed strictly to establish the required preliminary property tax levy and budget figures to comply with State notice requirements. Again this year our staff will be working closely with the PY q g Y your Y Financial Commission in reviewing the proposed 1994 budget. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION I recommend your favorable consideration of the attached resolution establishing the preliminary 1994 levy and budget figures to be adopted prior to September 15, 1993, in accordance with State law.
