City of Roseville — 2008 Budget <br />Public Works includes engineering, street maintenance, street lighting, fleet maintenance, and building <br />maintenance functions. In addition to increasing wage and healthcare costs, additional appropriations <br />were made to offset higher- than - inflation fuel and energy - related costs. <br />Parks and Recreation includes recreation administration and programs, leisure activities, and the <br />Skating Center operation. Consistent with other departments, wage, healthcare, and energy costs have <br />placed greater pressures on overall operating costs. A portion of the additional costs are offset by <br />program fees. <br />Community Development includes planning and economic development, code enforcement, and <br />geographic information systems. Expenditures are expected to increase due to increasing wage, <br />healthcare, insurance, and other inflationary -type costs. In addition, a one -time appropriation of <br />$150,000 has been included to revise the City's Comprehensive Plan. <br />Special Purpose functions include information technology, communications, license center, lawful <br />gambling enforcement, and parks maintenance. In addition to increasing wage and healthcare costs, the <br />increase is attributable to the expected addition of one License Center position. The additional position <br />will be funded by agent fees generated through the issuance of passports. <br />Capital Outlay includes scheduled replacement purchases of vehicles and equipment (non - operating <br />budgets), as well as general infrastructure improvements. <br />Enterprise Operations includes water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, solid waste recycling, and the <br />municipal golf course. Added wage, healthcare and contractual services will place added pressure on <br />these operating budgets. This includes a projected 4% increase in costs related to the purchase of <br />wholesale water from St. Paul, and a 4% increase in wastewater treatment costs through the <br />Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) Division. <br />Debt Service includes the principal and interest paid on bonds used to finance infrastructure and facility <br />improvement projects. Debt service costs are expected to remain constant until 2011. <br />TIF Pay -as- you -Go refers to tax increment paid to developers as specified in Tax Increment Financing <br />(TIF) agreements between the City and various developers. <br />Trust Operations includes endowment funds used to offset general taxes, and to maintain the City - <br />owned Roseville Lutheran Cemetery. <br />5 <br />
