TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark Vahlsing, City Administrator
RE: Meeting of October 26, 2022

Business Development Specialist. CEDA
Cora Boelman will provide an update on her current activities. See memo and other
information included in the meeting packet
Review Proposed 2023 Budget – Enterprise Funds
The purpose of the work session will be to review the Enterprise portion of the 2022
draft budget. In previous years the entire budget was reviewed at this work session. But
this work will focus on the portions of the budget that are funded by enterprise funds.
The final enterprise budgets must be adopted by the end the December. These include
the Municipal liquor store, sewer, and storm sewer funds.
The draft of the expense, and revenue budgets are included in the packet. The budget
figures for each department have been adjusted to reflect expense trends from previous
years and anticipated expenses expressed by the department heads
Wages
The draft budget reflects some step and longevity increases to hourly wages and
a COLA increase of 3% for full time employees. The final budget would be
adopted by the Council before the end of the year.
Health Insurance
The budget shows an 5% annual increase
Departmental Budgets:
Each department draft expense budgets included in the meeting attachments
The department heads will discuss these items further at the work session.
Overall Levy Increase:
Based on the proposed 2023 budget a 6.8% levy increase would be needed.
Staff would recommend that Council approve a 6.8% maximum levy for the
September Council meeting. This amount could still be lowered before the end
of the year.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.
