'It <br />EN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: December 9, 2019 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br />FROM: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director <br />SUBJECT: 2020 Budget and Tax Levy <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: <br />N/A N/A <br />Council Should Consider <br />NEW BUSINESS — 9C <br />Funding Source: <br />N/A <br />The City Council should consider approving the 2020 Budget and Tax Levy as presented, or <br />provide changes to the budget and/or levy to be effective in 2020. <br />Background <br />A budget workshop was held with the Council on August 19, 2019. Staff was not directed to make <br />any changes to the proposed 2020 General Fund Budget and Council adopted a maximum tax levy <br />increase of 5% on September 23, 2019. Another budget workshop was held with the Council on <br />November 18, 2019, in which staff was directed to make a few changes to the 5 year CIP. These <br />changes are included in the attached and they had no impact on the proposed 5% levy increase. <br />Discussion <br />Wages and Benefits <br />The 2020 proposed budget is prepared assuming a 3.0% wage adjustment for all staff. This is what <br />is proposed for the I.O.U.E. union members and is consistent with what other cities are doing in the <br />area. Benefit amounts have been adjusted to reflect the city contribution amounts considered earlier <br />this evening. Health insurance is set to increase by less than 2% and dental is set to increase by <br />2.9%. The city's payment toward employee health insurance is increasing $7.50 per month for an <br />employee on a single plan and $11.72 per month for an employee on a family plan. This is <br />approximately a 1.3% or a $2,910 increase in the budget. <br />The Foreman position has been removed from the budget but an Office Support Specialist has been <br />added to Public Works. This resulted in a savings to the 2020 Budget of $12,510. Other changes <br />to personnel costs include changes in the allocation between departments and funds for various <br />positions. <br />Total personnel costs increased by $13,020 from 2019 to 2020. The step and COLA increases were <br />offset by removing the Foreman position from Public Works and adding an Office Support <br />Specialist, and a reduction in the budget for work comp and pension costs. <br />
