Item Declare costs to be assessed, order preparation of proposed assessment and call for assessment hearing on the 2013 Pavement Management Project Description Per city assessment policy and state statute, the City holds public hearings to consider assessments for street improvement projects.

The next step is for the City Council to adopt a resolution setting a hearing date for the assessments. It is recommended that the assessment hearing be held at the regularly scheduled Council meeting on October 9, 2013. It is the City’s policy to assess a portion of street improvement costs. The City follows the requirements of Chapter 429 of state statute for the assessment process. Once the assessment roll is adopted, the City allows for a 30-day pre-payment period. Following the pre-payment period, assessment rolls are certified to Ramsey County for collection. The City will have the rolls certified by mid- November in order to allow the County enough time to add the assessments to property taxes. Budget Impact Below is a Project Financing Summary detailing the projected actual project costs for this improvement. This project is being financed using the following funding sources: • Assessments levied in accordance with the City’s assessment policy. • Use of Municipal State Aid (MSA), Tax increment financing (TIF), and city funds to pay the City’s portion of the project.

That Soars! Item Approve 2014 Preliminary Levy Description Each year, the City must set and certify to Ramsey County a preliminary levy by September 15th . At the August 7th and September 4th workshops, the City Council reviewed the Draft 2014 General Fund Budget. Highlights of the Draft 2014 General Fund Budget include: 1) There are levy limits imposed by the Legislature for the 2014 Budget. Staff is recommending that a special levy for the equipment certificates be approved once again to pay the annual principal and interest payments that will be due in the amount of $71,278. Also, Staff is recommending that a special levy be approved for payment of the 2013 Street Improvement Project as well as levying for a portion of a new fire truck in 2014. 2) The amount of LGA state aid was increased by the Legislature for budget year 2014. LGA will increase from $310,126 to $503,707 (62%) in 2014. 3) Fiscal Disparity distribution dollars for 2014 increased by $42,009 over the 2013 level (23%). This results in a lower ad valorem property tax portion of the levy. 4) The overall general fund expenditures are proposed to increase by $44,808 or 2%. -The Police contract and Ramsey County Dispatch increased 3% -Health insurance premiums are estimated to increase 12% due to being a small group with additional health expenses in our group during 2013. None of the insurance companies have provided new premium data at this time. Rates are not available to the City until November. 5) There is an estimated 2% COLA increase for employees consistent with increases in the CPI index. 6) The previous, annual budgeted transfer from the sanitary sewer fund to the General Fund has been eliminated in this budget.
