2018 Budget and Levy Review

Continued discussion of the 2018 proposed property tax levies and 2018 General Fund Budget.

At the work session of August 8, staff was asked to prepare various tax levy scenarios related to the new position requests.
Four scenarios have been prepared:
                                                        1.  All new personnel requests removed
                                                        2.  Top priority positions (as rated by staff) are included:  Sr Planner, Park Maint, IT hour
                                                             increase to offset City Clerk reduction in hours and position reclasses.
                                                        3.  #2 above plus add back 2 part-time admin positions
                                                        4.  All new personnel requests remain
Outcome of scenarios is attached.

Attached is documentation related to 2018 budget and levy.  A five-year budget is currently being completed and will be presented at the 8-22 work session.
