City of <br />Qk*l <br />River <br />Request for Action <br />To <br />Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council <br />7.1 <br />Agenda Section <br />I <br />Meeting Date <br />Prepared by <br />Public Hearing <br />December 5, 2022 <br />Lori Ziemer, Finance Director <br />Item Description <br />Reviewed by <br />2023 Budget and Tax Levy <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Reviewed by <br />Action Requested <br />Approve, by motion, the 2023 General, Special Revenue, and Enterprise Fund budgets. <br />Adopt, by motion, the resolution authorizing the property tax levy for collection in 2023. <br />Background/Discussion <br />In May, staff began the budgeting process by developing their 2023 department goals and budget requests. Over <br />numerous work sessions, the City Council and staff reviewed in detail each department's operating budget and <br />the property tax levy. In September, the Council approved the preliminary tax levy that was used to calculate the <br />proposed property tax notice that was mailed to each property owner. <br />General Fund Budget <br />The 2023 General Fund budget is $20,490,000 compared to $18,913,650 in 2022. The greatest portion of the city's <br />General Fund operating budget is dedicated to public safety programs and services, with general government, <br />public works, and parks and recreation making up the balance. Due to the fact that city government is primarily a <br />service industry, 76% of the operating budget is for personal service expenditures. <br />Tax Lew <br />On September 6, the City Council adopted the preliminary tax levy of $15,202,106. Since then, additional <br />reductions of $107,150 have been made for a proposed tax levy of $15,094,956 for 2023. <br />The county estimates the city's Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value increasing about 20.6%, attributable to new <br />growth and market value increases. The final NTC may change slightly as the county continues to update <br />property values before calculating property taxes in early 2023. Based on the current NTC values, the proposed <br />tax rate is 39.618%, a decrease from last year's rate of 43.967%. <br />The city accounts for about 37% of a homeowner's total property tax bill. The remainder is attributed to the <br />county (36%), the school district (25%), and other jurisdictions (2%). For businesses, the city's share is about <br />28% of the total. <br />The majority of the property tax levy (92%) funds city services such as police, fire, street maintenance, parks and <br />recreation, and general government. The remaining 8% pays for debt service, tax abatement, and library <br />operations. <br />AR <br />
