Memo
<br />City Council
<br />2012 Proposed Final Budget and Tax Levy
<br />7
<br />Revenues
<br />All revenue items were evaluated based on current economic conditions and past trends. The
<br />most notable item is, with the elimination of
<br />the MVHC program and the new MVE
<br />program, there is no longer a need to budget
<br />for the MVHC payment that has been
<br />unalloted or cut. In 2011, the City budgeted
<br />$61,774 as a negative revenue source to
<br />account for this cut. The 2.15% levy increase
<br />adds $65,530 in tax revenues. Water Tower

<br />Antenna Rentals are up $10,000 as a result of
<br />current contract rates. Adult and Youth Program Field Use has been added as a result of the
<br />direction of the City Council during the discussion on the Fee Schedule.
<br />Expenditures
<br />In 2008, EDA expenditures were moved from the EDA Fund to the General Fund under the
<br />Planning & Zoning department as there was a negative fund balance, and transfers to replenish
<br />the fund were budgeted from the General Fund. The fund balance in the EDA Fund is now
<br />estimated to be approximately $115,000 by the end of 2011. As part of the 2012 budget, the
<br />EDA expenditures were moved from the General Fund back to the EDA Fund. These consist of
<br />primarily salary and benefit costs ($40,464), however auditing, accounting, IT, and insurance
<br />have also been allocated ($8,788). The transfer from the General Fund to the EDA Fund has
<br />been eliminated.

<br />Other Professional Services were increased in the
<br />Administration department to fund costs for outside
<br />consultants for various development activities.
<br />There were no elections in 2011 as our elections are in the even number years. This is an
<br />increase of $16,280 over the 2011 budget.
