LAUDERDALE CITY • <br />MEETING MINUTES I <br />Lauderdale City Hall <br />1891 Walnut Street <br />Lauderdale, MN 55113 <br />Page 3 of 3 August 26, 2014 <br />Butkowski stated that Local Government Aid to the City was increasing slightly and the fiscal <br />disparities funding was increasing by $8,142 in 2015. The largest increase in expenditures will <br />be for police services which are increasing by $17,305. The City budget is expected to increase <br />by 1.48% or $18,173. Butkowski explained the data she provided to the Council regarding the <br />costs to households for different levy increases. Butkowski said a 2.3% levy increase was <br />needed to balance the budget but the increase felt by the local tax payers was 1.28% due to the <br />fiscal disparities funding increase. <br />The Council asked staff to draft a budget with no increase in the levy for discussion at the next <br />meeting. The City has until the end of September to adopt the 2015 preliminary levy. <br />There being no further business on the council agenda, Councilor Gaasch moved to <br />adjourn the meeting. Councilor Hawkinson seconded the motion and it carried. The <br />meeting adjourned atp.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Kevin Ke <br />Deputy City Clerk <br />
