Attachment 1 City Manager’s Office Memo To: Roseville City Council cc:Rachael Tierney, City Attorney From: Patrick Trudgeon, City Manager Sam Magureanu, Finance Director Date: April 20, 2026 Re: 2027 Budget What we did last year In the 2026 City Budget, there were expenditures totaling $83.8million. The property tax levy supporting the 2026 Budget totaled $33,048,741, which represented an increase of $2,331,282ora 7.59%tax levy increase over 2025. Cost drivers for the 2026 budget included general personnel cost increases (employee step increases and Cost of Living Adjustments \[COLA\], overtime increases, Paid Family Leave implementation, replacement of expiring grant revenue, and the addition of 22 public safety personnel. The cost of adding the 15 additional firefighters was partially offset by the federal SAFER grant received in 2025. In 2026, the SAFER grant will cover 75% of the firefighter personnel costs for the period of April 15, 2026 to December 31, 2026. As a result, $388,015 of new property tax levy was added to the 2026 budget to pay for those costs. The SAFER grant is a three-year grant that covers 75% of the new firefighter’s cost in the first two years and 35% of the personnel costs in year three, not to exceed $3,930,039 in total for 3 years. As the 2026 budget anticipated the start date of April 15, 2026 for the new firefighters, the City will need to provide a full year of its share of personnel costs (25%) in the 2027 budget. The costs of adding the 7 additional Police Department employees (4 patrol officers, 2 patrol sergeants, and 1 civilian Records Supervisor) was partially offset by the COPS grant received in 2025. In 2026, the COPS grant will cover $150,000 of the new patrol officer’s salary. As a result, a total of $836,000 of new tax levy was added in the 2026 budget to pay for those costs. It should be noted that utility franchise fees were approved last year during the budget process. The franchise fees will primarily provide financial support for several capital funds. The use of utility franchise fees freed up existing tax levy going to support capital needs to help offset a larger levy increase that was approved. 2027 Budget Construction Qbhf!6!pg!82
