Attachment 4 Administration Department Memo To: Roseville City Council cc: Roseville Department Heads From: Patrick Trudgeon, City Manager Date:August 19, 2024 Re: City Manager 2025 Proposed Budget 2 I am pleased to present my proposed 2025 City of Roseville budget.This budget reflects the 3 increase in operational costs for personnel, supplies, equipment and contracts. In addition, there 4 are cost increases relating to adjustments to existing positions and the creation of new positions. 5 6 As I mentioned in previous budget messages, Roseville is a complex city that serves a larger 7 population than its actual residents. As a regional commercial and retail destination, Roseville has 8 35,000 persons journey to Roseville daily for their work and up to 80,000 people travelingthrough 9 the city every 24 hours on our numerous State and County Roads. These visitors use Roseville’s 10 roads, parks, and city services. We need to respond to medical and law enforcement issues 11 regardless of whether they are Roseville residents or not. All this activity requires the City to 12 allocate additional resources above what is needed for a community of Roseville’s size. 13 14 The 2025 budget continues previous budget proposals that addressed increasing demands on city 15 services and maintains investment in our programs, services, and employees in a responsible and 16 sustainable manner. Personnel costs continue to drive increases in our budget. 17 18 We continue to work on funding for the city’s capital needs. In the last decade, the City of 19 Roseville has done much work to stabilize our funding for capital needs. We will need to 20 continue to review each capital fund annually to ensure sufficient funding for capital replacement 21 in the future. 22 23 Finally, I want to mention the work of the Department Head team in helping prepare this budget. 24 In early June, they submitted very responsible budgets based on their knowledge of costs and 25 needs. After the initial review of the budget with Department Heads, I tasked the Department 26 Heads to go back and review their budget requests to determine if any of the proposed increases 27 could be lessened either through eliminationfrom the budget or utilizing non-tax levy fund to help 28 mitigate the costs to the taxpayer. Collectively, we were able to remove nearly 300,000from the 29 original budget requests, shift another $450,000 to non-levy funding through the use of existing 30 grant funds and existing fund balances, and inject $525,00 into targeted capital funds through the 31 use of excess cash reserve fund. 32 33 The following pages outlinethe proposed2025 budget and its financial impact. They also provide 34 details of my budget priorities and recommendations for new spending. Qbhf!58!pg!345
