City of Roseville — 2012 Budget Public Works includes engineering, street maintenance, street lighting, fleet maintenance, and building maintenance functions. Expenditures are expected to decrease due to the removal of vehicle depreciation charges from the operating budget. Vehicle replacements are now funded separately. The City also expects lower street lighting and building maintenance costs. These reductions will be offset by a 1% cost -of- living adjustment for employees. Parks and Recreation includes recreation administration and programs, leisure activities, and the Skating Center operation. Increased program - related costs are expected in 2012; however they will be offset by higher program revenues. A portion of the added costs will be the result of a 1% cost -of- living adjustment for employees. Community Development includes planning and economic development, code enforcement, and geographic information systems. Expenditures are expected to decrease due to a reduction in staffing. This will be partially offset by a 1% cost -of- living adjustment for employees. Special Purpose functions include information technology, communications, license center, lawful gambling enforcement, and parks maintenance. Staffing increases in the IT function along with a 1% cost -of- living adjustment for employees will result in higher costs for these functions. Capital Outlay includes scheduled replacement purchases of vehicles and equipment (non - operating budgets), as well as general infrastructure improvements. A significant increase is expected due to the reflection of having all vehicle and equipment replacements under this category. Previously they were reported under other operating budgets. Enterprise Operations includes water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, solid waste recycling, and the municipal golf course. Added contractual service costs will result in added pressure on these operating budgets. This includes a projected 4.0% increase in costs related to the purchase of wholesale water from St. Paul, and a 4.5% increase in wastewater treatment costs through the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) Division. Debt Service includes the principal and interest paid on bonds used to finance infrastructure and facility improvement projects. No change is expected for 2012. TIF Pay -as- you -Go refers to tax increment paid to developers as specified in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) agreements between the City and various developers. No change is expected for 2012. Trust Operations includes funds set aside to maintain a City -owned Cemetery. 5
