REPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager 5s _
FROM: Rick Wills, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Mill levy - FY2013 Budget
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2012
BACKGROUND: This resolution is adopted annually to provide a levy to fund the City's budget
for the General Fund, the voted levies for the refinanced Pool and Fire Hall G. O. Bond, and the mill levy
authorized by the legislature to deal with the increased cost in health insurance premiums. The total City levy
requested is 187.40 mills.
The General City levy of 156.40 mills is based upon the calculation of the mill value provided by the State
Department of Revenue. The City has a dollar cap which computes to a maximum allowed levy of 156.40
mills. The portion of this levy designated for the Parks & Recreation department is 22.4 mills.
The G. O. Bond levy request is 12.5 mills, a reduction of I mill. The original levy for the 2 separate G.O.
Bonds was 20.5 mills in 2006 and has been reduced due to annexations — more properties supporting the
levy, and refinancing.
The Health Insurance levy request is 18.5 mills, an increase of 1.95 mills. There was a 5% increase in
premiums for Health insurance purchased through MMIA for this fiscal year. The permissive levy is only to
finance the increased cost of premiums since 2003 and not the total cost of insurance as it relates to
governmental fund employees. The General Fund budget health line items reflect the total cost of health
insurance in each budget. The Parks & Recreation fund is designated 1.6 mills of this levy for insurance
costs related to Parks and Recreation employees.
RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of Resolution setting the mill levy at 187.40.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Levy should generate approximately $7,233,752 of tax revenue for the City
based on a mill value of $39,017. However, the mill value is subject to change as appeals and other
adjustments are made throughout the year.
