City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209�' St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Adopt a resolution setting the 2011 proposed property tax levy; and pass a
motion setting the date and time for the public meeting on the 2010 budget
and tax levy; and, consider setting a date for a budget work session.
Deadline/Timeline: Deadline is September 15, 2010.
Background: • The City must certify its 2011 proposed property tax levy to the county
auditor by September 15. This is the maximum levy allowed by the
state law. It may be reduced before the final budget and tax levy are
adopted in December.
• At the August 23rd and 30ih special meetings the Council reviewed a
preliminary budget.
• Staff has prepared resolution to certify the maximum levy allowed
under the state levy limit, $2,013,651, a 4.95% increase from the 2010
levy.
• State law requires that the city hold a public meeting to be held between
November 25 and December 26 (after 6:00 p.m.) The date and time
must be certified to the county before or with the levy certification, and
will be included on the property t� notices sent in November. Staff has
identified several possible dates for the public meeting:
➢ Tuesday, November 30 (special meeting)
➢ Tuesday, December 7 (combine with scheduled meeting)
➢ Tuesday, December 14 (special meeting)
• In 2009, the meeting was held at 6:30 p.m., prior to the Council's
monthly meeting with the Planning Commission.
Recommendation: I recommend that the Council adopt Resolution No. 09-07-10-01, certifying
the 2010 proposed tax levy. I also recommend that the Council pass a
motion formally setting the date and time for the public meeting on the
budget and tax levy. Staff further recommends that the next budget work
session be scheduled on either November 9 or 10. (A special meeting will
be required to canvass the votes 3 to 10 days after the November election.)
