Last Three Year’s Budgets
•Local Government Aid (LGA) to the City has been partially
restored
$38,729 for 2007
$121,371 for 2008
$642,866 for 2009
•Transfers from the Levy Reduction Fund along with Insurance
savings and other expenditure reductions, cutbacks in capital
outlays and no major construction projects (2007 and 2008) has
allowed the City to propose no levy increase for 4 years. (2006,
2007, 2008, and 2009)
•For 2010 and 2011, the City will be subject to state imposed levy
limits.
•The state budget will have significant holes to fix and our
increase in LGA may be a target.
Summary
The budget is the outcome of a range
of factors including: state aid,
service level changes, capital
projects and inflation.
The goal of the budget is to
efficiently apply existing city
resources and new revenues to
provide the service levels and
infrastructure desired by the
citizens of Mounds View.
