He stated that the City entered the budget process cautiously and was aware that funding to cities may be reduced in this recessionary economy. He stated that after completing the budget work sessions, it was realized that expenditures were greater than the revenue raised from the General Fund. Mr. Burns stated the Council decided that rather than raise taxes, fund balances would be used to reduce this gap. Mr. Burns stated that the 1993 budget is set at $10,450,288, which is an increase of four percent over the 1992 budget. He stated that the General Fund portion is a little over $9,000,000 or about a 2.4 percent increase over the 1992 budget. He stated that the largest portion of the General Fund budget, about $6,500,000, is Por salaries and represents a 2.6 percent increase over 1992. Mr. Burns stated that the major categories of the budget include , personal services, supplies, other services and charges, and capital outlay. He stated that the cost for supplies has gone up 4�4 percent, and increased costs were for motor vehicle repair parts, fuel, and clothing and protective gear for the Fire Department. Mr. Burns stated that other services and charges cover contractual services which have increased 4.1 percent. He stated that these involve legal services, costs for a Wetlands Study, aerial photography, GIS maintenance, and utility and main�enance costs for traffic signal preemption equipment and telephone service. Mr, Burns decreased 3 budget are truck. stated that the capital outlay expenditures have .6 percent. He stated that some items included in this police cars, a van, dump truck, mowers, and a pickup Mr. Burns stated that other funds are speciai revenue funds for cable television, grant management, and soTid waste abatement. He stated that funding has decreased in the speciai revenue funds by about $53,000, Mr. Burns stated that about $1,000,000 is budgeted in the capital projects funds. He stated that buildings and lands are included in this fund which has decreased from $112,000 in 1992 to $5,000 � for 1993. He stated that the building constructed at Moore Lake was the largest expenditure for 1992. He stated that other capital improvements for 1993 involve an overlay and sealcoat program for � � 93 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 1992 PAGE 3 streets, a street reconstruction pro]ect, University Avenue bikeway, and opticom system at 81st and 83rd Avenues. He stated that the park capital improvements include picnic shelters, a parking addition at Moore Lake, tennis court resurfacing, and a bituminous pathway at Riverview Heights Park. Mr. Burns stated that in the Enterprise Funds there is an increase in both the Liquor and Sewer Funds. He stated that the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission has increased its fees by $500,OOD for treatment of the City's waste water. He stated that the watar system projects include the repair of several wells, repairs at the Locke Park filtration plant, and a water utility computer system. He stated that the sewer projects include improvements to two lift stations, and the storm water projects include the Stonybrook Creek Project, relining the 75th Avenue storm sewer, correction of drainage problems in Highland Lake/52nd Avenue, and the Locke Lake project. Mr. Burns stated that the 1993 certified levy is the same as the 1992 levy. He stated that the gap in the General Fund was addressed by using existing fund balances. He stated, however, that property taxes for a lot of home owners will increase for 1993. He said that the State, in 1991, mandated reduction in tax rates for commercial and industrial property and residential property that has a value greater than $115,000. He stated that by this mandate, it shifted a portion of the tax burden to xesidentiaZ properties. Mr. Burns stated that residential property values have appreciated b_y about three percent per year. He stated that the County Assessor requires the City to keep the tax values of homes within a certain percentage of the market rates. He stated that in keeping with this mandate, values have increased for most residential properties by about two percent. He stated that the impact on an $80,000 home in School District No. 14 will mean an increase in City taxes of about $4 per year or approximately three percent. He stated that the tax impact for homes valued at $115,000 or more is likely to remain tfie same or be reduced. He stated, however, that Fridley's tax rates do remain relatively low in comparison with other oommunities. Mr. Burns stated that the revenues have not been keeping pace with the expenditures. He stated that in 1990, the City used $234,000 of the fund balances, and in 1991, another $60,000 was used. He stated it is hopeful that for 1992 there will be less liabilityo Mr. Burns stated that new construction has increased in the City, and unemployment is well below the national average of 4.6 percent. He stated that retail sales have been decreasing. He stated that � less severe crimes have decreased, but Fridley's crime rates are some of the highest in the metropolitan area. He stated that this may mean that the City's crime watch program is more effective, and � � J 94 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 1992 PAGE 4 crimes are being reported. He stated that the number of persons on public assistance is growing, as well as meal a5sistance in the public schools. Mro Burns stated that the internal indicators remain very healthy. He stated that the City has sound fund balances, although the City has been relying increasingly on these fund balances. He stated that the Legislature threatens to make more changes during the upcoming Legislative session. He stated that the City should seek opportunities for cost savings by joint partnerships with other communities. He stated that there should be an emphasis on economic development and redevelopment and programs pursued that encourage the upkeep of the City's residential housing. He stated that the crime watch program and other neighborhood approaches should be usefl to protect the environment of the City's residential neighborhood. Councilman Billings stated that in terms of the funds that will be generated through property taxes, the City will collect approximately $10,000 less than the amount collected in 1992. He stated, however, that a number of home owners will see an increase in the City's portion of real estate taxes due to the State mandate. He stated that those who have to pay more taxes are victims of the economy, as the State mandate redistributes the way taxes are spread. Councilman Schneider stated that the General Fund showed transfers from the Liquor Fund in 1990 and 1991, but nothing for 1992 or 1993, Mr. Burns stated that transferring funds from the General Fund to the Liquor Fund was stopped because it is anticipated there may be a change in location of the liquor stores, and funds may be needed for the move to a new location. Councilman Schneider asked if the balances of the Liquor Fund have increased. Mr. Burns stated that the fund balance has lncreased, and the last time he reviewed it, it was over $500,000. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that part of the reason for the City continuing in the liquor business was to use the revenue from the liquor stores to decrease property taxes. She asked if this was no longer being done in anticipation of a move. Mr. Burns stated that the Llquor Fund is charged for the services of their employees, but the transfer which was once done has ceased. He stated that if the location problem is solved, the City, in the long term, can be more effective in providing those transfers from the Liquor Fund. � � � 95 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 1992 PAGE 5 Councilman Schneider stated that expenditures were held to the level of 1992. He stated that, subsequent to the budget work sessions, the City has been informed that an extra $125,000 would be received in State aid. He questioned the tax impact on a home valued at $80,000. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, submitted a chart showing the percentage of decrease for homes valued between $70,000 and $200,OOOe Councilman Schneider stated that the net change in the tax capacity rate would be approximately .62 percent for a home valued at about $80,000. He stated that if the Council chose to apply this revenue to the 1993 budget, and assuming a constant value of homes, there would not be an increase in City taxes, and some people would see a substantial decrease. Ms. Joan Olson, 6320 Van Buren Street, stated that her statement shows an increase of 7.8 percent and felt a 3 percent increase was not typical. She stated that she did not notice an expenditure in the budget for the Senior Center facility. Mr, Burns stated that the funds for the Senior Center are not budgeted, and if the Council decided to proceed, funds would have to be appropriated and a public hearing held. Mr. Pete Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive, objected to the purchase of a van to be used by the Recreation Department. He felt that the City should not be in the transportation business, and t�ere are a lot of costs associated with the maintenance. He stated that Crty salaries have increased, but he does not receive an increase in his salary. He stated that his taxes have gone from about $310 in 1980 to over $900 next year. He stated that he is on a fixed income, and each year the taxes increase. He felt that it was wrong to live in a smaller home and get taxed for someone else's burden, as those with homes valued over $150,000 receive a tax cut. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that spending has to stop somewhere. He stated that the City should not use money to buy back land such as was done for the 100 Twin Drive-in propertyo He stated that some thought has to be qiven to the residents living in the community, as they cannot afford to stay in their homes. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the Council did not receive a pay increase in 1992 or 1993, but City employees will be receiving an increase. Mr. Eisenzimmer felt that this should also cease. Mr. Tom Corbett, 621 58th Avenue, stated that the problem with the property taxes in Fridley is not with the City or the County. He stated that his taxes in the City have increased less than 96 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 1992 PAGE 6 � $1/month, and the County has increased $9.50/year, He stated that the problem is with the school district, and he stated he did not see any of the people here this evening at the school district meeting. He stated that there was no television or media coverage of that meeting. Mr. Corbett questioned the percentage of increases for employees and asked if the City neqotiates with unions. Mre Burns stated that there are three different unions involving City employees and the increases range �rom 3 percent this year; 2-1/2 percent last year; and 4 percent for the previous two years. Mr. Corbett stated that residential property values were raised, and he asked if this applied to commercial property as welle Councilman Billings stated that each year the Assessor re-evaluates every property in the City and makes an on-site inspection every four years. He stated that commercial property did increase this year. Mr. Corbett stated that he did not think it as fair that his market value was raised when there is a recession. He stated that it is not right that commercial values did not increase as much as the � residential properties. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the commercial and industrial property values did increase. Mayor Nee stated that the City lost in court, as several large companies went to court and received a reduction in their values. Mr. Burns stated that in this recessionary period, commercial property is selling for lower prices. He stated, however, that residential property values have not beera affected. Mro Corbett stated that it was not a good idea to decrease commercial values. He questioned why Cub and Target did not locate in Fridley. Mayor Nee stated that Cub's petition for rezonina was not approved, but he stated that the development at this site is substantially larger than what Cub would have provided_ Councilman Billings stated that the City of Coon Rapids funded Target for them to locate in Coon Rapids. He stated that Wal-Mart has locateci in Fridley without the City providing them with any funding. � Mr. Corbett asked if the market value for FMC increased. � � � 97 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 1992 PAGE 7 Mr. Pribyl, decrease in taxed at a owned. Finance Director, stated that there has been some the market value for FMC. He stated that they are different rate because a large portion is government Mr. Dick Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, stated that commercial and industrial property values increased substantially. He stated that this increase was anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 on parcels of property. He stated that there seems to be some misconception that values for commercial and industrial property are going down, and that is not the case. Mr. Harris asked how the City can get back some fiscal disparities. Mr. Burns stated that the City is paying more than it receives in return. He stated that as he recallso �he City is closer to breaking even and will probably gain in the next several years. Mr. Harris stated that fiscal disparities increased from 15 to 22-1/2 percent, which is a substantial increase as part of the taxes. He stated that he cannot find where these funds have gone. Mra Pribyl stated that the £ormula for fisca4 disparities is very complicated and is handled by the County. Mr. Harris stated that if the school district, City, or County is not receiving these funds and the units have been raised substantially, these funds have just evaporated. He stated that on any property, forty percent goes into fiscal disparitieso He stated that with the development in the County, he finds it hard to believe that the County is not a gainer. Mayor Nee stated that the County asked the City not to oppose the fiscal disparities based on the fact that the County gained, and the City would not be affected one way or the other. Mr. Harris stated that on his home valued at $150,000 he pays property taxes of $2,70o per yearo Mr. Bahram Nikrad, 5881 West Moore Lake Drive, stated that his estimated market value for 1986 was $67,000 and for 1993 it was $92,300. He stated that the taxes have increased from $648 to $1,324. He stated that he added on to his home in 1988, but this addition is not completed. He stated that when a property owner keeps up their property the taxes increase, and he questioned if this was fair. Mr. Burns stated that it seems Mr. Nikrad feels the tax increase is significant, and he suggested Mr. Nikrad talk to Mr. Madsen, the City Assessor. 98 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 1992 PAGE S � Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Nikrad the size of his addition. Mr. Nikrad stated that it was 22 by 24 feet. Councilwoman Jorqenson stated that she added an addition of similar size to her home, and new additions are taxed at a higher rate. She s�ated that she understands if this addition is not finished the City cannot fully tax ite Mayor Nee stated that there will be a public hearing in the spring where homeowners can address these questions, and he felt this may be the appropriate time to discuss this issue. Ms. Mary Vasecka, 6909 Hickory Drive, stated that she owns property in Minneapolis, and the value of that property does not increase every year. She stated that she does not want a tax increase, but it seems unfair that Minneapolis changes the value only every ten years. She questioned why they do not operate under the same rules as Fridley. Mr. Pribyl stated that this is controlled by the Department of Itevenuea and if a City is ialling behind they will intervene and increase market values. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to close the public hearing. � Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 9:00 p.m. NEW BUSINESS• 2. I2ESOLUTION N0. 98-1992 ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1993: MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to adopt Resolution No. 98-1992. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Councilman Billings stated that Councilman Schneider has mentioned the additiona3 $125,000 the City will receive this year from the State. He stated that the City, however, has no idea if the State, in 1993, will reduce aid by this amount or more and how this would impact the City's reserves. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that it would not create a financial crisis for the City, but it would decrease the fund balances. Councilman Schneider stated that this issue was discussed at the League of Minnesota Cities meeting, and revenue in the local trust funds, by law, has to be distributed to the cities. He stated that � the question is if the State gives the City this money and then reduces aid, how this would impact the 1992 budget. � 1 �J .. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 7, 1992 PAGE 9 Mr. Pribyl stated that the City probably wili need to go into reserves but not for the amount budgeted of $485,OOG. He £elt it would not exceed $100,000. Councilman Billings stated that then there would be some carry over from the 1992 budget. Councilman Billings asked Mr. Pribyl if it was his opinion that it would not be highly risky move to reduce the ad valorem taxes by $125,000. Mr. Pribyl stated that the City would still exist if the Council reduces the ad valorem tax by $125,000. Councilman Schneider felt that by reducing the ad valorem tax $125,000 it is in keeping with the $irection of the Council in establishing this budget, as these are extra funds which were not anticipated.
