Trends: License revenue is expected to remain static. Building permit revenue is expected to decrease as the City is primarily built out but commercial activity will cause fluctuations as seen in 2016 and 2017 as existing facilities go through upgrades. This will all change once the Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP) project begins construction. 2016 and 2017 numbers reflect major renovations at the Land O'Lakes headquarters facility and Boston Scientific. Intergovernmental This represents monies from other governments in the form of grants, entitlements, and shared revenues. The City receives a variety of shared revenues from the State of Minnesota. Prior to 2011, the major revenue within this category was Market Value Homestead Credit Aid. The 2011 legislature eliminated this program. The major revenue source is now Municipal State Aid (MSA) maintenance for streets. All other amounts represent small grants and aids that the City receives under various established programs. MSA Maintenance is a program for urban municipalities with populations of 5,000 or more. 20% of a City's County Roads and local improved mileage are included. This includes County Roads and County State Aid Highways (CSAH) that have reverted back to the municipality. Police Aid is money received from the State to help with police personnel training costs. Since Arden Hills contracts with the Ramsey County Sheriff for this service, a part of this revenue is allocated back to Arden Hills each year to offset part of the contract costs for policing. Trends: MSA Maintenance dollars had been gradually increasing through 2020, declined in 2021 due to COVID-19, and increased again in 2022. A 2% increase is being budgeted for 2023. Police Aid has remained fairly static over the last six years and is expected to remain so. Charges for Services This category reflects fees collected for contractual services and general services that the City charges directly for. Included in this category are the following: General Fund charges for services include contractual and service fee services related to general government, public safety, and recreation. • Services to property (Utility Fees) — are collected by the utility funds from customers (residents and business within the City) for services.
