Mill levy - FY2004 Budget
August 4, 2003
BACKGROUND: The resolution is adopted annually to provide a levy to fund the City's
Budgets for the General Fund, Comprehensive Insurance Fund, Health Insurance Fund and
Retirement Fund. Added last year is the voted levy for the G. O. Bond for the pool and an
additional 9 mill levy authorized by the last legislature to deal with the increased cost in health
insurance premiums. The mill levy will be calculated at the allowed amount per the calculations
on forms provided by the Department of Revenue. The levy calculation adjusts the mill value for
changes resulting from SB184, HB260 and HB124. The total City levy will be determined on
Monday when the taxable valuations are known. The revenue generated by the levy will
include the 1.28% inflation factor allowed by H13124 generating approximately $35,000. It also
will include the adjustment for lost revenue due to previous legislation pertaining (SB 184) for
personal property reimbursements and motor vehicle. After calculating the allowable levy we
will reduce the levy by revenue equivalent to the increase in Special Street Maintenance
Assessments. We have moved the General Fund Street budget and the Traffic Sign & Signal
budgets to the Special Street Maintenance district fund. The decrease in mill value (revenue)can
be brought back in a subsequent year if Council desires.
This resolution also adopts the levy for the City -County Health Department. This levy is
administered by the County but must be adopted by the City Council
RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of Resolution setting the mill levy at xxx.xx for the City of
Kalispell and x.xx mills for the City County Health Dept.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Levy will generate approximately $ x,xxx,xxx in tax revenue for the City
Based on a mill value of $ xx,xxx. The mill value is subject to change
appeals and other adjustments are made this fall.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by Council.

RE: Taxable Value
The City received the Certified Taxable Value from the Department of Revenue, hand
delivered this morning. From that information, we determine the allowable mill levy on
the spreadsheet provided by the State. This information is attached -see spreadsheet.
The current levy compilation provides a mill value of $24,453, (6) on the spreadsheet.
Of that value, $1,286 is attributable to new construction and annexation (6a). This leaves
a mill value of $23,167 (7) which is less than last year's value of $23,858. The
legislature corrects this change in value by allowing us to generate the same revenue as
last year and an inflation factor (2) of 1.22%. On the spreadsheet (8) you will see that
the authorized mill levy is 137.51. This excludes permissive levies, pool and health
insurance premiums.
We are recommending reducing the allowable revenue by $255,069 an amount equivalent
to the budget shift of the General Fund Street and the Traffic Sign & Signal budget and
related benefits. These budgets are being moved to the Special Street Maintenance
assessment fund. The reduction in levies can be added back at a later date; the reduction
is not lost or capped.

(1) Ad valorem tax revenue authorized to be assessed is determined by multiplying the previous year authorizedlevy
by the previous year taxable value. This amount should be the highest tax authority carried forward under Section 15-10-420, MCA

(15-1-402), and levies imposed for health insurance premiums (2-9-212) are not to be included. Be sure to use the amount
applicable to the prior year levy you were authorized to mill not what you actually milled unless it is the same.
This will facilitate the carry forward provision of Section 15-10-420(1)(b).
(2) The inflation adjustment is calculated using the three previous years, taking one half of the
3 year average. This adjustment will be recalculated annually by the Department of Revenue.

the previous years mill levy times the previous years taxable value for net and gross proceeds. This deduction
is required under Section 15-10-420(6), MCA
(4) The amount for the prior fiscal year amounts received can be obtained from the prior fiscal year
general ledger revenue account for personal property tax reimbursements (335210). The amount for
current year anticipated revenue represents the amount of revenue estimated for the current year.
This amount is a 16.7% reduction from the prior year.
(5) This amount is the net of items (1) through (4)

Section 15-10-420(3), MCA and Class 1 and 2 property (net and gross proceeds) taxable value.
(8) The floating mill is determined by dividing the adjusted taxable value per mill (Item 7) into the adjusted
property tax revenue assessed (Item 5).

property and net/gross proceeds (Items 6a and 6b). This represents the maximum amount of taxes
which can be levied.
