<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />14669 Fitzgerald Avenue North, Hugo, MN 55038 • (651) 762‐6300 • www.ci.hugo.mn.us <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor Tom Weidt and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Anna Wobse, Finance Director <br />SUBJECT: 2024 Final Budget and Tax Levy <br />DATE: For the City Council Meeting of December 4, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DESIRED COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />Adopt Resolution Approving the General Fund Budget for the 2024 Fiscal Year <br />Adopt Resolution Approving the Final Tax Levy Payable in 2024 <br /> <br />COMMENTS <br /> <br />The City Council has a long history of following the flat tax rate policy and keeping a flat urban tax rate. The flat tax rate <br />policy means that tax collections increase when property values increase and tax collections decrease when property <br />values decrease. For Pay 2023 it was the consensus of the City Council to deviate from the policy and allow for a <br />decrease in the urban tax rate because of the larger than normal property value increase that was seen. <br /> <br />On September 18, 2023, the City Council adopted a preliminary 2024 tax levy of $12,318,875 which would provide for <br />no increase in the current lower urban tax rate. Washington County has determined that based on their estimate of tax <br />capacity the urban tax rate will remain at 36.371% of tax capacity and the rural tax rate will be 33.023% of tax capacity. <br /> <br />Attached for City Council consideration are two resolutions that approve the general fund budget and approve the final <br />tax levy payable in 2024. <br /> <br />Staff feels that the final budget document accurately reflects the true cost of operations and meets the goals put forth <br />by the City Council concerning spending and taxation levels. As such, staff recommends adoption of these resolutions. <br /> <br />ACKNOWLEDGMENTS <br /> <br />The preparation of the budget document on a timely basis could not have been accomplished without the efficient <br />services of the department heads. I want to express my appreciation to the City Administrator, Mayor, and Members of <br />the City Council for their interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the city. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Resolution Approving the General Fund Budget for the 2024 Fiscal Year <br />Resolution Approving the Final Tax Levy Payable in 2024 <br />2024 Budget Document <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
