<br /> <br />GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES <br /> <br />SAINT ANTHONY SHARE OF POLICE COSTS – 40% of expenditures. <br />Beginning in 2026, Police Services will be accounted for in a segregated special revenue fund rather than within <br />the General Fund. To provide an accurate year-over-year comparison, the 2025 budget figures have been <br />adjusted to reflect this new accounting approach. All police related costs have been separated from other <br />departmental expenses for both years. <br /> 2025 net budgeted SAV police costs $3,915,766 <br /> 2026 net budgeted SAV police costs $3,883,442 <br />This represents an .83% decrease to the city in 2026 after union contract COLA of 3% and wage adjustments <br />were applied due to having a third partner sharing in fixed costs. <br /> <br />PERSONNEL COSTS OTHER THAN POLICE – 37% of expenditures <br />The 2026 base wage increase is based on a 3% COLA for all union contracts, also applied to non-union positions. <br />The wage and payroll expense increase for non-police positions is $412,852, this includes an estimate of <br />$304,725 of wages PERA and FICA for three additional fire positions. <br />Health insurance premiums are increasing an average of 6.7 % which is shared 50/50 by the city and the <br />employees. The 2026 impact of the shared increase is $106,926 assuming employee elected coverages from <br />2025 are applied to 2026 and additional amounts for 3 new fire positions. This increase would be $57,894 <br />without the addition of new positions. <br /> <br />CONTRACTED SERVICES – 9% of expenditures. <br />Contracted Services are expected to increase $122,300 based on actual 2025 costs and now increases: <br /> Contracted information technology costs are increasing $49,274. <br /> Building Permit expense is expected to move to a fixed cost versus a cost share. This expense increase is <br />$70,866 which will be offset by an increase in the portion permit revenues retained by the city. <br /> <br />42
