• <br />• <br />WS Item # 1 <br />Memorandum <br />To: Mayor and Council Members <br />From: Al Rolek <br />Date: July 24, 2006 <br />Re: Questions relating to 2007 Budget Proposal <br />Gordon Heitkq informed me of questions the City Council has entering into the <br />preparation of the 2007 budget. I understand that there are basically two questions: <br />1) What entities have requested contributions from the City for 2007? <br />As of today, I have received the following requests: <br />Anoka County Sesquicentennial Celebration $1,000 <br />Anoka County Mediation Services 1,970 <br />Forest Lake Youth Services Bureau (2006 request) 5,000 <br />Alexandra House 5,993 <br />Blue Heron Days No specific amount requested <br />35 W Coalition (2006 request) 6,101 <br />Assn. of Metropolitan Municipalities (2006 request) 5,777 <br />2) Tax Capacity information for pay 2007. <br />The information I have received from Anoka County is very preliminary. <br />Information relative to fiscal disparities and tax increment districts is not available <br />until late August at the earliest; therefore, I have estimated these amounts. Given <br />this preliminary data, our net tax capacity is estimated to have increased by 10.6% <br />over pay 2006. If we maintain our current tax rate of 41.362% of tax capacity, it <br />is estimated we could levy an additional $783,600 (this is total levy — general, <br />debt service, tax abatements and special levies). <br />
