Re: Draft 2024 Budget
____________________________________________________________________
Staff brought the first draft of the 2024 budget for review by City Council on July 27,
2023. The main direction of the Council for the 2024 budget was to find ways to reduce
the tax levy to maintain or reduce tax rate.
Staff have been refining the budget to try to meet the directive of the Council. Upon
receiving preliminary information from Hennepin County, the Adjusted Net Tax Capactiy
came in at $19,026,881 (first draft of budget anticipated $21,066,332). This amount may
change as final net tax capacity is not available until 2024.
The first draft of the 2024 budget had a tax rate of 43.824%, an increase tax levy of
$2,386,548. To maintain the existing tax rate of 42.122%, with the updated information
from the County, the total tax levy can increase by $1,215,933. The second draft of the
2024 draft budget presents a tax levy increase of $1,672,060, $456,127 over what is
needed to maintain the existing tax rate. With final preliminary numbers, the tax rate is
now anticipated to be 44.519% with the second draft of the 2024 budget.
The following outlines some of the larger changes in expenditures in comparison to the
first draft of 2024 budget. More changes may occur once numbers are retrieved from
the County.

Re: Draft 2024 Budget
____________________________________________________________________
Staff has completed the first draft of the 2024 budget for review by the City Council. The
draft includes the funds needed for the continuation of services provided, with additional
recommendations to meet the increased needs of the organization.
Direction for staff was to draft a budget that does not raise the tax rate. Staff has used a
conservative estimate for tax capacity, with the adjusted net tax capacity of
$21,066,332, which is the average of the past 3 years’ increase. This amount will
change as an estimate from the county will be available within the next couple of
months. Final net tax capacity is not available until 2024. It is estimated that the tax levy
can increase by $2,028,050 and maintain the existing tax rate of 42.122%. The first
draft of the 2024 budget has a tax levy increase of $2,386,548 which is $358,560 over
that amount and tax rate of 43.824%. Staff will continue to refine the budget to meet
City Council’s priorities. The budget is presented as is to receive initial feedback from
the City Council prior to that refinement taking place.
The following outlines some of the larger changes in expenditures to the budget from
2023. The attached draft budget includes many other changes on various line items.
Staffing:
The largest increase to the draft 2023 budget is staffing. The City has seen significant
increases in new home construction with a major uptick beginning in 2019. The
projected new homes constructed between 2019-2023 is 1,098 units. This non-
incremental increase in new homes requires the same non-incremental increase in
staffing to ensure basic services can continue to be provided. To achieve this, the
following additional positions are included in the 2024 budget as compared to the 2023
budget. In addition to the added positions, a 7% increase (3% market adjustment, 4%
cost-of-living adjustment) in wages is assumed as well as a 10% increase in insurance
costs, split 70/30 by the employer/employee.
Agenda Attachment: 2-1.
