The Council also suspended the Merit Pay Program and budget reduction for the Wellness <br />Program. This required a net levy of $127,000. Therefore the adjusted 2014 preliminary Tax Levy is <br />as follows: <br />2014 ADJUSTED Preliminary Tax Levy (excluding debt service) <br />Program <br />Description <br />Amount <br />Compensation Study — 3.26% <br />Adjustment to be implemented January 1st <br />$ 1571190 <br />Compensation Study — Addl <br />Addl market adjustment for 8 employees <br />201000 <br />Wellness Program <br />Budget Reduction <br />(20,000) <br />Merit Pay Program <br />Suspend Merit Pay Program <br />(30,000) <br />Park Maintenance <br />Full -time Park Maintenance Operator position <br />601000 <br />Police Patrol <br />Additional overtime <br />101000 <br />Police Community Services <br />New American outreach materials <br />11000 <br />N/A <br />Unallocated <br />705 <br />Total <br />$ 1981895 <br />RA <br />86 2014 Preliminary Budget <br />86 The 2014 preliminary Budget for the tax - supported programs is $23,008,060, an increase of $1,223,258 <br />87 or 5.6 %. The increase includes $560,000 for the remaining debt obligations associated with the Parks <br />88 Renewal Program. It also includes $225,000 in additional capital funding that was made possible by an <br />appropriation of Local Government Aid. <br />9� <br />91 The preliminary Budget for the non tax - supported programs is $27,682,665, an increase of $4,028,697 <br />92 or 17.0 %. The increase is due to higher planned capital outlays ($1.5 million), tax increment financing <br />93 activities ($1.7 million), and added costs associated with the purchase of water from the City of St. Paul <br />94 and wastewater treatment charges from the Met Council. <br />95 <br />96 A broader discussion on these non tax - supported programs is planned for later this year. <br />97 <br />98 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />
