All of the <br />increase was dedicated towards the City’s capital replacement funds. <br />Because the City was experiencing general inflationary cost increases in most programs, it did <br />require a $480,000 reduction in the operating budgets. Employee COLA for this year was 1%- <br />2.75%depending on the employee group. <br />Final Comments <br />It should also be noted, that despite significant tax levy increases over the past 10 years, the <br />City’s local tax rate has remained well below most other cities in the metro area. In fact, in 2002 <br />Roseville’s tax rate was 24% below the average for peer communities. In 2011 (the most recent <br />year available) it’s 25% -virtually unchanged. <br />This suggests that that Roseville’s tax levy increases during the past decade were quite typical <br />when compared to other cities.However, this gap will narrow considerably as the City proceeds <br />through the major infrastructure renewal cycle it began in 2011. <br />5 <br /> <br />
