Overall Budgeting Practices Better Best Good Revenues > Revenues = Revenues = Expenses, Expense + Expenses Excess to CIP CIP Staff Prioritization of Budget Requests Mandates (“Have to Fund”) • Retirement Increases; remainder of salary increases. • Software support cost increases. Increases to maintain service levels • Additional operating funds for new parks. Projects that will save money over time • Retrofitting lights to LED. Projects that support City Council priorities Increase service levels • Additional snow plowing. Expansion Requests ▪ Increases to “keep up” current levels of service. ▪ Increasing current levels of service. Examples: Addition of staff, personnel reclassifications, infrastructure improvements that change the level of service. Considerations: ▪ Is there a revenue source? Is it one-time or ongoing? ▪ What is the priority of this request relative to all other requests? ▪ What is the impact on current and future resources? Reserve Levels General Fund ▪ State law – 5% (minimum) to 25% (maximum) of revenues. ▪ Financial policy goal – 15%; amount above 15% may be used for one-time purchases. ▪ Is 15% enough? Should we go up to maximum? Should this be over a period of time? ▪ For example, increase 5% per year? ▪ Remainder transferred to capital projects. General Accounting/Budget Changes General Fund ▪ No capital projects funded in General Fund. ▪ Moving to Capital Projects; possible creation of Capital Equipment fund. ▪ Difficult to see operating trends when operating and capital costs are intermixed. ▪ Moving Information Technology operating expenses to IT Fund. ▪ Moving debt service out of Non-departmental and into Debt Service Fund. IT Fund ▪ Operating and capital projects combined into one fund. ▪ Include large capital assets (servers, network switches, wireless controllers, etc.) in yearly department charge. ▪ Similar to computers. ▪ Ensure funds are available for larger replacements, like Fleet Fund. Revenue Policies One-Time Revenue ▪ One-time revenues will be used to obtain capital assets/equipment or to make other nonrecurring purchases. ▪ The City will not use these resources to provide ongoing services. Revenue Projections ▪ Revenue estimates will be conservative (slightly understated) to reduce the probability of a revenue shortfall. ▪ Previous year trend analysis, current economic conditions, and growth will be guiding factors in these estimates. Financial Policy – Forecasting revenues will be done with a conservative approach, except when approach leads to considerations of raising taxes or cutting services. ▪ “More objective approach” will be analyzed.

The focus of this report is to compare mid-year budget projections with actual revenues and expenses.
