RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY 2020 PROPERTY TAX LEVY
AND PRELIMINARY 2020 BUDGET
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the resolution approving
the Preliminary 2020 Property Tax Levy and Preliminary 2020 Budget and setting the Budget
Public Hearing to be held on Monday, December 2, 2019 at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers.
Overview
Passage of this resolution will result in the approval of the 2020 preliminary tax levy of $32,246,765
and preliminary 2020 General Fund budget as discussed at the August 26 Council work session
and will set the date for the budget public hearing.
The City Council has reviewed primary drivers of revenue and expenditure changes for the
preliminary 2020 General Fund budget and proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Budgets for other Funds will be discussed at upcoming scheduled City Council work sessions.
The proposed 2020 budget includes the following significant changes:
• Personnel:
o Police Dept – effective 04/01/2020 - Patrol Officer (full-time)
o Streets Dept – effective 07/01/2020 Maintenance II (full-time)
o Police Dept – effective 12/15/2020 - Patrol Officer (full-time)
o Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) and adjustments from the Compensation and
Classification Study completed in 2018
o Transition to full year for 2020 for new positions added in 2019
o Police and Fire PERA rate increase and other benefit changes
• Commodities:
o Streets Dept – Increase in de-icing chemicals
• Contractual:
o Police Dept – Storage and maintenance costs related to body worn cameras and
in-car video
o Increase in LOGIS expense
The overall change in the General Fund expenditures is a 6.1% increase from 2019 which is in line
with the consumer price index (CPI) for the Minneapolis region and the changes noted above.
The proposed 2020 levy shown below is a $2.3 million increase over the 2019 levy.

Fund
Even though the tax levy is proposed to increase, the City tax capacity rate is anticipated to decrease
from 35.607% to 34.827%. The City has been fortunate to keep its tax rate relatively low. Since
2013, the tax rate has declined primarily due to significant new construction growth.
Over the past ten years, new construction has added $1.3 billion to the taxable market value of
which $899 million or 69% of the growth has occurred in the past five years.
Some of the impacts of new construction (as reported in the 2018 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report):
• Population – increased from 55,954 in 2010 (U.S. Federal Census) to approximately 64,000
or 14-15%;
• Street Miles – increased from 259 in 2010 to 295 or 13.9%;
• Acres of parks, conservations areas and greenways – increased from 1,579 in 2010 to 1,600
or 1.3%;
• Trails and sidewalks (paved miles) – increased from 97 in 2010 to 117 or 20.6%.
The growth of the community and expectations for services puts pressure on the City’s resources
to provide the necessary personnel, equipment, technology, etc. Property taxes are a primary

funding source for many of the services (excluding utilities such as water and sewer) provided to
residents and businesses as follows:
• provide about 76% of the funding needed in the General Fund to provide general services
such as police, fire, parks, administration, etc.
• debt repayment for the city’s portion of street reconstruction projects and city facilities;
• ongoing pavement management;
• vehicle/equipment replacement and new (due to growth);
• park and trail replacement;
Another important funding source has been the Liquor Fund. Without the contributions from the
Liquor Fund, additional funding would be required from the property tax levy or another source.
The 2020 budgets reflect approximately $1.402 million in transfers from the Liquor Fund:
• Debt Service – police station bonds - $400,000
• Equipment Fund – capital equipment - $500,000
• Technology Fund – capital equipment - $70,000
• Debt Service – Galaxie store bonds - $284,000
• General Fund – administration, technology, etc. - $144,000
• Environmental Resources – household hazardous waste drop-off day - $4,000
The proposed 2020 City tax levy will result in an estimated $68 increase on the median value home
($328,500) due to both a levy increase as well as a market value increase as determined by the
Dakota County Assessor.
Existing commercial properties, in the aggregate, increased in market value by 3.7%. The proposed
2020 City tax levy will result in an estimated $108 increase on a commercial property valued at $1
million with a 3.7% increase in value. Individual circumstances will determine the tax burden for
each commercial property.
City councils are required, prior to September 30, to certify to the County Treasurer/Auditor the
date for the budget hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to present the budget and proposed tax
levy as well as provide property owners the opportunity to ask questions and make comments.
The budget hearing is proposed to be held on Monday, December 2, 2019 at 7:00 PM in the Council
Chambers. The final approval of the budget and tax levy is scheduled for Monday, December 2,
2019, as well.
Primary Issues to Consider
• The City Council can adopt a final tax levy in December that is equal to or less than the
preliminary tax levy approved on September 16, 2019. The City Council may not, however,
adopt a final tax levy that is greater than the preliminary tax levy.
Supporting Information
• Resolution establishing the preliminary 2020 property tax levy and preliminary 2020
budget and setting the public budget meeting;
• General Fund Summary.
