City of Roseville — 2010 Budget Although some fluctuations have occurred, the City has generally maintained its license and permits revenues during the past 5 years and expects that to continue in 2010 and beyond. Building permit revenue is expected to remain fairly steady as several major redevelopment projects get underway in the City's Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area. The City's License Center operation is expected to remain stable at 2009 levels. License and permit revenue is shown below. It should be noted that the year 2009 and 2010 depicts the amount that was originally budgeted for. 2. 6 5 2. 60 POO x.55 2.45 2.40 x.35 License & Permit Revenue From 2006 -2010, the City continued to emphasize its core functions of public safety and public works. During this period, a substantial investment was made in police and fire information and communication systems including a new records management system and conversion to the 800mhz radio system. The public works area is realizing higher operating costs due to higher energy costs and service input costs such as fuel. It is expected that these costs will continue to increase in future budget years in order to maintain service levels. The City's special purpose operations account for a variety of stand -alone functions including the City's License Center and Information Technology (IT) Support areas. As noted above, the License Center continues to experience relative stability despite a challenging economic environment. The IT area has seen substantial growth in recent years as the City has not only emphasized greater investment in IT for its own needs, but it also provides IT support services for 23 area municipalities and other governmental agencies. The City expects these IT partnerships to continue in future years. The City's debt service payments have been dropping since 2003. However, increases are expected in 2009 and 2010 as the City begins repaying debt issued to finance the replacement of the ice arena refrigeration system. From 2006 -2010, fund balance in the governmental funds increased by $7.8 million. This largely resulted from the capture of excess tax increments in advance of closing selected Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. Many of these districts will be closed by 2010 and the excess increment will be refunded. W
