Becker, Finance & Internal Services Director DATE: September 16, 2009 SUBJECT: 2009 Millage Levy Recommendation: City staff recommends that City Council approve the millage levy ordinance approving the 0.4 mils for the Policemen' s Pension and Relief Fund, 0.4 mils for the Firemen ' s Pension and Relief Fund, 1 .0 mils for the Fayetteville Public Library, and 1 .3 mils for 2010 General Fund operations. Background : Each year the City must approve an ordinance to renew the levy of ad valorem taxes on real and personal property within the City. This request will provide for such levy on property assessed during 2009. The total assessed value of real and personal property located within the city limits of Fayetteville, as of August 5, 2009, is approximately $ 1 .3 billion . The assessed valuation is before the Washington County Board of Equalization has made all the changes to the County Assessors Abstract. Based on the preliminary assessments, the growth in real property assessments is approximately 5 .27% as of August 5 , 2009. Discussion : A millage levy ordinance must be approved by City Council in order for the City to continue to collect property taxes for the Policemen ' s Pension and Relief Fund and the Firemen ' s Pension and Relief Fund. The millage levy for the Policemen ' s Pension and Relief Fund is 0.4 mils for real property and 0.4 mils on personal property. The millage levy for the Firemen ' s Pension and Relief Fund is 0.4 mils for real property and 0.4 mils on personal property as was approved by referendum. A millage levy ordinance must be approved for the operation of the Fayetteville Public Library and that was approved by the voters on October 1 , 2002. The millage levy for the Fayetteville Public Library is 1 .0 mils for real property and LO mils on personal property. Finally, City staff is requesting that City Council approve a millage levy ordinance for General Fund operations in the amount of 1 .3 mils for both real and personal property. The 2010 proposed property tax revenue amount based on the 1 .3 mil levy is estimated to bring in $ 1 ,570.000 in General Fund revenue . The 2010 Proposed General Fund Budget will be distributed to City Council on Tuesday, September 29 at the City Council agenda session. Additional meetings during the months of September and October to discuss the millage levy will be held as needed. A proposed calendar is shown below: Tuesday, September 29 Agenda Session / 2010 General Fund Budget Distributed Tuesday, October 6 City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 13 Agenda Session Tuesday, October 20 City Council Meeting Budget Impact: The 0.4 mils Police and 0.4 mils Fire is needed to fund the Pension plans for both . The 1 .0 mils is used to fund the operation of the Fayetteville Public Library. The 1 .3 mils will be used to fund General Fund operations. Conclusion: The millage levy must be at Washington County in time to be included in their consolidated levy ordinance which will be approved at the November 12, Quorum Court meeting. The deadline for receipt is set by the County. Last year that deadline was October 30. The City levy will be added to the levies by Washington County, the various school districts, improvement districts and othercities within the County when the Washington County Quorum Court adopts its millage levy for 2009. The administration is requesting the same millage rate as was approved in 2008 as follows: 1 .3 mils for General Fund Operations 1 .0 mils for the Fayetteville Public Library 0.4 mils for the Police Pension Fund 0.4 mils for the Fire Pension Fund If you have any questions concerning this agenda request please contact me at 575-8330.
