TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Russ Van Gompel, Director of Finance
DATE: October 21, 2022
RE: Discussion of Enhancement Requests for 2023 Budget
BACKGROUND
The City Council conducted budget workshops on October 17 and 18 for consideration of the
2023 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 a GIS Technician, Facility Maintenance Technician, and
two Police Officers. The two Police Officers are adjusted to have an estimate starting date of June
1, 2023. The impact of these three proposed enhancements is a levy increase of 4.66%, up from
4.18% in the proposed budget.
On the most current version of the Proposed Budget Enhancements, I have left both the SAB
Manager and DEI Coordinator as initially proposed. You can see the impact of both on the
attached schedule.
The block that contains the budget enhancements with no impact on the levy has been modified
to reflect those enhancements which no longer are expected to be funded by levy. There are no
cumulative amounts for the remaining enhancements, only the individual impact.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2023 proposed levy included a tax levy increase of 4.19%. With the proposed changes, the
levy could be adopted with an increase of 5.09%.
The attached schedule also illustrates that after the proposed increase, the City will still have
$1,313,400 remaining to comply with the Expenditure Restraint Program.
