City of Roseville — 2014 Budget <br />Parks and Recreation includes recreation administration and programs, leisure activities, and the <br />Skating Center operation. An increase in expenditures is expected due to added personnel costs <br />including a 2% cost -of- living adjustment for employees. This is offset somewhat by lower fee -based <br />program activity. <br />Community Development includes planning and economic development, code enforcement, and <br />geographic information systems. Expenditures are expected to increase due to increased staffing levels <br />as well as a 2% cost -of- living adjustment for employees. <br />Special Purpose functions include information technology, communications, license center, lawful <br />gambling enforcement, and parks maintenance. Staffing increases in the IT function along with a 2% <br />cost -of- living adjustment for employees will result in higher costs for these functions. <br />Capital Outlay includes scheduled replacement purchases of vehicles and equipment (non - operating <br />budgets), as well as general infrastructure improvements. An increase is expected due to higher capital <br />replacements. <br />Enterprise Operations includes water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, solid waste recycling, and the <br />municipal golf course. Added contractual service costs will result in added pressure on these operating <br />budgets. This includes a projected 3.0% increase in costs related to the purchase of wholesale water <br />from St. Paul, and a 4.0% increase in wastewater treatment costs through the Metropolitan Council <br />Environmental Services (MCES) Division. <br />Debt Service includes the principal and interest paid on bonds used to finance infrastructure and facility <br />improvement projects. A significant increase is expected in 2014, due to the issuance of additional <br />bonds used to finance the Park Renewal program. <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. Two additional TIF Districts have been <br />created in the past couple of years which will increase the amount of TIF paid to developers. <br />Trust Operations includes funds set aside to maintain a City -owned Cemetery. <br />61 <br />
