• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM 2A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR Al Rolek <br />MEETING DATE September 8, 2008 <br />TOPIC Consideration Resolution 08 -91 adopting the proposed 2009 <br />Operating Budget for the City of Lino Lakes <br />VOTE REQUIRED <br />Simple Majority <br />Minnesota State Statutes require the City of Lino Lakes to adopt and certify a proposed operating <br />budget on or before September 15th of each year. <br />The main goals in preparing the budget were to maintain current service levels to our citizens, <br />ensure each department has adequate resources to perform their functions, provide for local <br />street and storm drainage system maintenance, provide for the replacement of worn equipment <br />and maintain or lower the city's tax rate. The proposed budget addresses these goals by <br />providing resources to implement Council goals representing the greatest needs of the <br />community, continuing the process of phasing in funding for the capital equipment replacement <br />program and street maintenance and maintaining our efforts in maintaining the storm drainage <br />system. <br />The budget proposed for 2009 is $10,064,722, a 1.58% increase from the budget adopted for <br />2008. While levy limits and limited development activity have presented challenges for 2009, <br />this budget seeks to provide for the city's need for infrastructure maintenance and to maintain <br />basic municipal services at current levels. The City Council has crafted a budget that meets <br />these needs and lowers the city's tax rate to our taxpayers. <br />1. Adopt Resolution 08 -91 adopting the proposed 2009 Operating Budget. <br />2. Refer back to staff for further review. <br />Option 1 <br />Page 28A - 28B <br />
