<br /> I <br /> I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> it <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> I DATE: August 15, 1997 <br /> TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator <br /> I FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant @ <br /> I SUBJECT: 1998 Budget Planning Discussion (August 18, 1997 Council <br /> Worksession) <br /> I At the August 18, 1997 Council Worksession, discussion on the 1998 Budget topic will be <br /> directed toward the following areas: <br /> I 1. 1998 CIP Plan Revision <br /> As a result of ongoing discussions with the Gateway developer, the West Round <br /> I Lake Road reconstruction project ($1,500,200) has been deleted from the 1998 <br /> CIP plan. <br /> Ie 2. Staffing <br /> No changes recommended for full-time City staffing levels (i.e., 20 regular full- <br /> time, 1 regular part-time). However, staff is considering a recommendation for a <br /> I 1998 Intern in the areas of Economic Development, Planning & Zoning and <br /> Protective Inspections. Additionally, the Public Works Department is planning on <br /> 1 the use of two (2) temporary maintenance employees in 1998, instead of the three <br /> (3) planned for 1997. <br /> I 3. General FundlLevy Implications <br /> It appears that planned 1998 General Fund services can be funded well within <br /> levy limits (i.e., $35,000 proposed levy increase vs. $40,528 levy limitation). <br /> I 4. Overall Expenditure Analysis <br /> Proposed 1998 expenditures are planned to increase $4,358,316 (60.2%) over the <br /> I 1997 adopted budget level. Further analysis reveals three extraordinary spending <br /> items. <br /> a. D/TED Loans $ 750,000 <br /> I b. City Hall Construction 650,000 <br /> c. Gateway Improvement Projects 2.700.000 <br /> Total $ 4,100,000 <br /> I Excluding the impact of these three items would result in an overall spending <br /> .. increase of$258,3l6 (3.6%) over adopted 1997 budget levels. <br /> I <br /> - <br />
