Becker, Chief Financial Officer FROM: Kevin Springer, Budget Director DATE: August 23, 2022 SUBJECT: 2022 Millage Levy RECOMMENDATION: CITY COUNCIL MEMO City staff recommends that City Council approve the millage levy ordinance which includes 0.4 mils for the Policemen's Pension and Relief Fund, 0.4 mils for the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund, 3.7 mils for the Fayetteville Public Library, and 2.3 mils for 2023 General Fund operations. The mils remain unchanged from last year's millage levy for 2022 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 2022. As of July 29, 2022, the total assessed value of real and personal property located within the city limits of Fayetteville is approximately $2.06 billion. The assessed valuation comes before the Washington County Board of Equalization has made all changes to the County Assessors Abstract. Based on preliminary assessments, the growth in real property assessments is approximately 4.6%, as of now. This will likely decrease as the Washington County Board of Equalization has not finished making changes. 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 for personal property. The millage levy for the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund is 0.4 mils for real property and 0.4 mils for personal property, as was approved by referendum. A millage levy ordinance must be approved for the operation of the Fayetteville Public Library. One was approved by the voters on October 1, 2002 and was for 1.0 mil for real property and 1.0 mil for personal property. On August 9, 2016 the citizens of Fayetteville voted to increase the millage for the library. The referendum approved was for an increase of 1.5 mils for operations for a total of 2.5 mils for Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 operations. Additionally, 1.2 mils were approved by the voters for the bond debt service for the library expansion. Total millage for the Fayetteville Public Library is 3.7 mils. The 1.20 mils will be removed when the bonds are retired. Finally, City staff is requesting that City Council approve a millage levy ordinance for General Fund operations in the amount of 2.3 mils for both real and personal property. The 2022 proposed property tax revenue amount based on the 2.3 mil levy is estimated to bring in $4,715,000 in General Fund revenue. Below is a proposed calendar of meetings during the months of September and October which can be used to discuss the millage levy. Tuesday, September 13 Agenda Session Tuesday, September 20 City Council Meeting Tuesday, September 27 Agenda Session Tuesday, October 4 City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 11 Agenda Session Tuesday, October 18 City Council Meeting BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The 0.4 mils Police and 0.4 mils Fire is needed to fund the Pension plans for both. The 2.5 mils are used to fund the operation and the 1.2 mils will be used for the bond debt service for the Fayetteville Public Library. The 2.3 mils will be used to fund General Fund operations. Attachments: 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 17, 2022 Quorum Court meeting. The deadline for receipt of the City's levy by the County is October 31 each year. The City levy will be added to the levies by Washington County, the various school districts, improvement districts and other cities within the County when the Washington County Quorum Court adopts its millage levy for 2022. The administration is requesting the following millage amounts: 2.3 mils for General Fund Operations 2.5 mils for the Fayetteville Public Library Operations 1.2 mils for the Fayetteville Public Library Expansion 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 Paul Becker at 575-8330.
