ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES MEMORANDUM
November 15, 2010
TO: City Council
FROM: Jacob J. Winzenz, Dir. of Administrative Services/Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Continuation of Public Hearing and Action on 2011 Proposed City and
Library Budgets
Executive Summary
The City Council has reviewed the 2011 budget at three budget study sessions and will
hold two public hearings. The proposed 2011 Municipal Budget (General Fund and
Library), has a .46% increase in total expenditures, a 2.30% increase in the tax levy, and a
1.64% increase in the gross tax rate.
Recommendation
The Administrative Services department recommends the City Council approve the
proposed 2011 budgets.
Suggested Motion(s)
Move to approve the 2011 proposed City Budget as revised by the City Council
thru November 8, 2010, with a General Fund Budget in the amount of
$41,598,244 and a tax levy (without TIF) in the amount of $25,437,644, and
direct the Comptroller to include these amounts in the 2011 appropriation and
levy resolutions.
Move to approve the 2011 proposed Hedberg Public Library budget with a
tax levy (without TIF) in the amount of $3,207,919 for Library purposes, and
direct the Comptroller to include this amount in the 2011 levy resolution.
Move to approve the 2011 Proposed Rent Assistance Budget.
City Manager Recommendation
The City Manager recommends approval. The General Fund Budget reflects a total
budget that is $58,000 less than the 2009 budget. Although it was accomplished
through the reduction or deferral of certain staff positions that will create more pressure
on existing staff.
Background
The City General Fund budget incorporating the $0 of levy reductions made by the City
Council during budget study sessions and council meetings and the Hedberg Public
Library budget follows:
