Greg Sticha, Finance Director DATE: November 18, 2005 SUBJ: Comprehensive 2006 Budget Review & Capital Improvement Budget The 2006 budget as presented meets the requirements set by the City Council when the preliminary levy was established in September. The budget has been reviewed by staff and thanks to their vigorous efforts, the 2006 expenditure amounts provide for a zero dollar increase for the average homeowner over last year's tax levy, while still providing for the programmatic needs of each department. The budget in its current state provides for a transfer to debt service for $285,000, which is a use of general fund reserves, in order to achieve a zero dollar increase to the average homeowner. The primary adjustments made since the last time we discussed the individual budgets were in the area of salaries and benefits. In our original budget, we had included a 15% increase for healthcare costs. Due to the decision to change healthcare providers as well as formats to BlueCrossIBlueshield, there will be a 7.5% increase in the city's share of healthcare costs rather than a 15% increase as in the preliminary budget. This results in $31,000 in savings to the city. These funds have been reallocated to pay for previously unbudgeted utility costs for old St. Hubert's and estimated larger heating costs than budgeted for originally at the Library building. General Fund Expenditures Total budgeted expenditures in the general fund increase from $8,308,420 to $8,900,100. Of this $591,680 increase, $285,000 is a use of general fund reserves to be transferred to the debt service levy of the 1998A Park GO Bonds. Of the remaining increase, $225,650 (74%) is for increased wages and benefits to general fund employees, $20,000 for an increase in the police services contract with The City of Chanhassen . A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautitul parks. A great place to live, work, and play. Comprehensive 2006 Budget Review November 18, 2005 Page 2 Carver County, and a $61,000 increase for estimated additional fuel and heating costs. These three items represent $305,650 (99.6%) of the increase in the general fund budget. There is only one request for additional personnel hours and that is in the senior citizens center (1560). This is an increase from twenty to twenty-four hours per week for the senior coordinator. Revenues As mentioned in last year's budget memo, the legislature has eliminated the Market Value Homestead Credit to help balance the state's budget. The effect of this legislation is that we will not receive $218,766 of property taxes we were scheduled to receive in 2005, and we will not receive and have to levy for a similar amount in 2006. Based on the previous year's history, we are budgeting for only nominal increases in license revenue. Permit revenue projections are totally dependent on development. We had some larger permit receipts in 2004, but we are on schedule to be under budget in 2005, and are anticipating similar permit receipts in 2006 compared with 2005. The other revenue item of note is that we are planning for additional rental income from cell tower leases in 2006. We are anticipating that the remainder of other revenues will have relatively flat increases compared to 2005. Debt Service Levies Total debt service levies for 2006 are $1,938,790 compared with $2,225,934 in 2005. Keep in mind in order to achieve the $1.9 million in levies for 2006, we used $285,000 in general fund reserves to pay down the debt of the 2004A GO Park Bonds. These bonds were refinanced in November to achieve a flat debt service tax levy for future years and also saved the city almost $50,000 in interest costs. Capital Improvement Program The 2006-2010 CIP had very few changes from the prior year's CIP, especially in the 2006 year. The one item of note is the capital replacement fund. Through diligent work of staff, we were able to get the total funds requested for 2006 down to $848,000. This, along with cost savings from 2005 CIP items discussed at our previous meeting, means there will be no effect on the fund balance of the capital replacement fund for years 2005 and 2006. Comprehensive 2006 Budget Review November 18,2005 Page 3 There are several large items included in future years of the CIP of note, and those include: . Public Works Facility Improvement for 2008 at $3.9 million . Water treatment facility in 2012 for $11 million . New Fire Station in 2010 and related equipment for $4.5 million .

Right now, the City's compensation plan calls for an automatic cost of living adjustment (COLA), plus a maximum 2% merit payment as recommended by the employee's supervisor. There is also the possibility of up to a 3% step increase if the employee's current salary is less that the midpoint, or average salary, of similar positions. The number of employee's who are eligible for this step increase has been decreasing each year due to the fact that we have little employee turnover. The proposed system beginning in 2006 would eliminate any automatic COLA or step increases. Basically, each employee's salary adjustments would be entirely based on their job performance. At the time of performance reviews, each supervisor would be given his employee's current salary information, as well as the maximum allowable salaries for their department for the next year. Under this method, a high achieving employee could actually receive more that the normal COLA and merit increases, as long as the total amount for the department does not exceed the budgeted amount. In order to accommodate this, the finance director and city manager will determine what level of increased compensation is needed and will include this number in preliminary budgets. For 2006, the overall amount budgeted is 5.5%. This amount was determined by taking the rate of inflation at the time of budget preparation in June (2.5%) and allowing for up to a 3% merit increase. There were also ten employees who are eligible to receive a market adjustment based upon a salary study of comparable cities. These market adjustments were included in the total budgeted amounts presented to the city council during the preliminary levy adoption. Supervisory staff members have been informed of this new method and we will be working with the finance department on coming up with new pay adjustment sheets to reflect the new process. RECOMMENDA TION The City of Chanhassen . A growing community with clean takes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautitul parks. A great place to live, work, and play. Staff is prepared to continue in this manner and will be presenting a formal pa6' compensation plan amendment for the council's approval at the December It meeting.

JJ'\.lDL What schools' are spending an By SHRUTI L MATHUR smathur@startribune.com Truth in Taxation notices are coming in the mail, and all west-suburban school districts but one are holding hearings to explain and answer questions about changes in school taxes. Most districts are antici- pating an increase in taxes be- cause of a legislative switch that shifts some state aid to 10- callevies. Other increases are a result of the Legislature raising the caps on local operating lev- ies and other voter-approved bonds and levies. Several districts are increas- ing local taxes to pay for teach- er merit pay and special teach- er training through the state's new Q Comp plan. Hopkins is currently the only district that has its Q Comp plan approved, but other districts are working on their plans and are levying in anticipation of state approval. Westonka is the only west- suburban district, not holding a hearing, because taxes are go- ing down after the expiration of a bond. Districts that see a de- crease in taxes are not required to hold a hearing. Here are the proposed tax collections in west-metro dis- tricts for 2006, along with the date of the Truth in Taxation hearing in each district: CHASKA 2006 amount: $24,073,778.63 2005 amount: $22,142,205.97 Change: Up 8.12 percent Why: To cover increases in student enrollment as well as paying baCk bond issues.

The district is also levying for more funds for alter- native teacher compensation, or QComp. Hearing: 7 p.rn. Dec. 6, Board . - Why: The approval on Nov. 8 of an ope~ting levy with an in- flationary increase accounts for some new taxes. The district also is levying for teacher compensa- tion for the Q Comp program, for which the district got state ap- proval this past summer.
