DATE: October 21, 2021
RE: Discussion of Enhancement Requests for 2022 Budget
BACKGROUND
The City Council conducted budget workshops on October 18 and 19 for consideration of the 2022
Proposed Operating Budget. Toward the end of the second workshop, Council began the discussions on
potential budget enhancements. Attached is a schedule of Proposed Budget Enhancements.
ANALYSIS
The first block of Budget Enhancements illustrates what was heard from a majority of Council
Members regarding their desire to add two Police Officers with the reduction of overtime
expenses. Also included on the attachment is partial funding for the Social Worker at
approximately 50%. In order to keep levy increase to 4.5%, $39,600 was applied from the
Contingency Account.
The next block on the attachment is a summary of the Contingency Account from the Proposed
Budget. Some reduction has been identified in the contingency amount with a reservation of the
potential additions of two positions, the Zoo Specialist and Arborist. These two positions are
recommended for partial funding in 2022 with funds from the Contingency Account.
The third block contains the remaining budget enhancements. It illustrates the individual impact
from the revised levy in the first block. There is no cumulative amounts for the remaining
enhancements, only the individual impact.
The last major section of the schedule is a list of budget enhancements which would not impact
the tax levy.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2022 proposed levy included a tax levy increase of 4.23%. With the proposed changes, the
levy could be adopted with an increase of 4.5%. The scenario would reduce the contingency
appropriation by $39,600.

The attached schedule also illustrates that after the proposed increase, the City will still have
$869,723 remaining to comply with the Expenditure Restraint Program.
RECOMMENDATION
To discuss budget enhancements and provide direction to staff prior to the presentation at the
