REVISED Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Commission Resolution No. 4335 – Setting Mill Levies for Fiscal Year
2011-2012
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2011
**Updated 9/9/2011**
**Revised Attachments 9/9/2011**
AGENDA ITEM: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Commission Resolution No. 4335 – Setting Mill Levies for
Fiscal Year 2011-2012.
BACKGROUND: The City’s certification of taxable values for FY12 puts the value of 1 mill
levied on all taxable property in the city = $82,448 $82,062. This is an increase of 3.2% 1.6%
over the certified value for last year ($80,783/mill.)
On August 8, 2011, the Department of Revenue notified us that the FY11 Certified Taxable
Values (Tax Year 2010 – last year) were incorrect. We are still awaiting formal word on
whether the Department will be issuing a correction to their certification. In meeting the Gallatin
County officials, the estimated impact of the error is reflected on the attached Mill Levies & Mill
Values sheet, in red for FY11.
UPDATE: The Montana Department of Revenue issued to the City a REVISED 2011 Certified
Taxable Valuation on September 9, 2011, decreasing the City’s Total Market Value, Total
Taxable Value, and Taxable Value Less Incremental Value.
On 9/9/2011, the Department also issued a REVISED 2010 Certified Taxable Valuation,
decreasing last year’s mill value from $80,783 to $80,399/mill. This revision also changed the
Certified Valuation for each of the City’s Tax Increment Districts. In the coming weeks will be
bringing forward a separate budget amendment to handle these 2010 Certified Taxable Valuation
changes.
Under state law, the City’s maximum allowable mill levy for FY2011-2012 is calculated to be
195.68 mills 196.62 mills.
In November 2007, city voters approved increasing our tax levies to fund police department
officers and their equipment. However, due to unspent Police personnel budget in FY11, and
the plan to not hire Battalion Chiefs in FY12, we are recommending lowering the Police & Fire
Levy amounts this year by $914,000, or 11.09 11.14 mills.
The City’s Fire Department has been awarded a federal grant to fund firefighter personnel costs
that will save our local taxpayers $948,000 over 4 years, beginning in FY09. For the current
year, we have subtracted the amount of the grant ($113,985) from the tax levy, lowering the levy
by 1.38 1.39 mills. This is the last year that we will be receiving this grant money.
In September 2006, the Commission resolved to lower the City’s levy by 9 mills if the county-
wide levy for 911 Dispatch services was approved by the voters. The county-wide levy was
approved, 911 Dispatch is no longer paid for out of the City’s General Fund, and the FY2011-
2012 City All Purpose levy has been lowered 9 mills again this year.
The attached resolution anticipates levying 166.59 166.75 mills; a decrease of 2.16 2.0 mills
from the prior year.
FY12 Maximum Levy in Mills 196.62
General Fund Cash (8.35)
Police & Fire Vacancy Savings (11.14)
SAFER Grant (1.39)
County 911 (9.00)
FY12 Proposed Levy in Mills 166.75
FY11 Levy in Mills 168.75
Difference between FY11 & FY12 in Mills (2.00)
Dollar value of 2.00 Mills ($ 164,124)
FISCAL EFFECTS: Adopting a mill levy of 166.75 mills is estimated to generate
$13,683,625 in property tax revenue for FY2011-2012. The revenue will be deposited to the
funds described on the attached “Mill Levies & Mill Values” sheet.
The effect of this levy on the Typical Resident is reflected as follows:
FY12 Typical City Resident - Annual Increase CM Recommended Adjusted Budget
Street Assessments $ 17.74 $ 15.97
Forestry Assessments $ - $ -
Property Taxes $ 24.00 ($5.30)
Water Services - Deferred Mtc Option $ 22.08 $ 19.86
Sewer Services - Deferred Mtc Option $ 33.00 $ 28.22
Total Estimated Annual Increase $ 96.82/year $58.75/year
Divided into Monthly Amounts $8.07/month $4.90/month
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
