collected for the two (2) preceding completed fiscal years with
amounts estimated to be collected for the current fiscal year, and an
estimate of revenues for the ensuing fiscal year. The estimates
shall be submitted to the Council at its last regular monthly meeting
in August and shall be published twice in summary in the official
publication prior to November 15. (Ref. Ord. 625)
Section 7.05. PASSAGE OF THE BUDGET.
The budget shall be a principal item of business at the last regular
monthly meeting of the Council in August, and the Council shall hold
subsequent meetings from time to time until all the estimates have been
considered. The meetings shall be so conducted as to give interested
citizens a reasonable amount of time in which to be heard, and an
opportunity to ask questions. The budget estimates shall be read in
full and the City Manager shall explain the various items thereof as
fully as may be deemed necessary by the Council. The annual budget
finally agreed upon shall set forth in such detail as may be determined
by the City Council, the complete financial plan of the City for the
ensuing fiscal year, and shall be signed by the ma7ority of the Council
upon being adopted. It shall indicate the sums to be raised and from
�what sources, and the sums to be spent and for what purposes, according
to the plan indicated in Section 7.04. The total sum appropriated shall

of the budget, according to the plan indicated in Section 7.04. The
budget resolution as adopted shall be published in the official
publication. (Ref. Ord. 625)
Section 7.07. ALTERATIONS IN THE BUDGET.
After the budget shall have been duly adopted, the Council shall not
have power to increase the amounts therein fixed, whether by the
insertion of new items or otherwise, beyond the estimated revenues,
unless the actual receipts shall exceed such estimates, and in that
event, not beyond such actual receipts. The sums fixed in the budget
shall be and become appropriated at the beginning of the fiscal year for
the several purposes named therein, and no other. The Council may at
any time, by resolution passed by a vote of at least four (4) members
of the Council, reduce salaries or the sums appropriated for any purpose
by the budget, or by vote of at least four (4) members of the Council
authorize the transfer of sums from the unexpended balances of the
budget to other purposes.
Section 7.09. LEVY AND COLLECTION OF TAXES.
In accordance with Minnesota State Law, the Council shall levy by
�resolution the taxes necessary to meet the requirements of the budget
for the ensuing fiscal year. The City Clerk shall transmit to the
county auditor annually, not later than the date required by Minnesota
Law, a statement of all the taxes levied, and such taxes shall be
collected and the payment thereof be enforced with and in like manner
as state and county taxes. No tax shall be invalid by reason of any
informality in the manner of levying the same, nor because the amount
levied shall exceed the amount required to be raised for the special
purpose for which the same is levied, but in that case the surplus shall
go into a suspense fund, and shall be used to reduce the levy for the
ensuing year. (Ref. Ord. 625)
