Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 20,2011 <br /> Page 29 <br /> Councilmember McGehee suggested that City Manager Malinen be charged with <br /> researching shared resources with Falcon Heights or the Lake Johanna Volunteer <br /> Fire Department as an alternative to building a new fire station. <br /> Councilmember Pust reiterated her appreciation to the Subcommittee; however, to <br /> avoid any misunderstanding, opined that the fact remained that there were going <br /> to be some tough decisions to make; and while the Subcommittee report identified <br /> the problems very thoroughly, it still only identified the hard choices ahead, not <br /> an ultimate resolution. <br /> Related to the recommendations of the Subcommittee, Mayor Roe noted that this <br /> was a "pay as you go" approach for utilities and rolling stock, and would not <br /> serve to establish any savings accounts, but fund years 1 through 20, while they <br /> would continue to diminish and not grow. Mayor Roe noted that the City Council <br /> could discuss the use of reserves for some of the items, but as experienced in the <br /> past, that practice was not sustainable over the long-term and would only defer the <br /> difficult decisions to be made. <br /> Councilmember Pust sought clarification from Finance Director Chris Miller on <br /> the median residential properties and potential $588 increase versus the $621 po- <br /> tential increase and where that discrepancy came from. <br /> Finance Director Miller suggested that it would depend on what year it was meas- <br /> ured; and Mayor Roe, as the author, suggested that it depend on whether the me- <br /> dian was based on inclusion of removal of the market value homestead credit <br /> (MVHC). <br /> Councilmember Pust asked that those numbers could be verified and made consis- <br /> tent prior to the Subcommittee's next or subsequent reports to ensure the City <br /> Council and residents were aware of the actual impacts for taxes and/or fees. <br /> Mayor Roe concurred that the information needed consistency and should be <br /> standardized for future documentation. <br /> In response to Councilmember McGehee's concerns, Finance Director Miller ad- <br /> vised that the annual comparisons provided on budget documents were 25% lower <br /> than the competition as a community; and identified who that competition was by <br /> clarifying that the Roseville tax RATE is 25-30% below peer average (including <br /> all sixty-two ((62)) cities in the metropolitan area serving populations over <br /> 10,000) with those cities in that peer group having a tax RATE 28% higher than <br /> that of Roseville. <br /> Councilmember Pust opined that a better comparison would be Roseville over <br /> time, since those cities may change and the median value or matching home value <br />
