City of Roseville — 2006 Budget Letter of Transmittal December 19, 2005 To the Mayor and City Council, Enclosed is the 2006 City Budget as prepared by City Staff, in accordance with City Council actions. The 2006 Budget culminates nearly a year's worth of planning, evaluation, and input from the City Council, advisory commissions, and citizens. Great effort has been taken to ensure that the City's core services are funded in a manner that preserves the greatest value to the community. In addition, steps have been taken to account for the changing trends and impacts that will affect both next year's and future year's budgets. Preparing the 2006 Budget remained challenging on many fronts. While the City did make some budgetary cuts in 2005 in response to the loss of $700,000 in state -aid, new spending obligations and inflationary impacts placed added pressure on the property tax levy and other funding sources. The following table identifies all pre- existing obligations that will come on line in 2006. These items are the result of Council- approved decisions made in prior years, and /or reflect the resources necessary to maintain current service levels.
