FY 2014/15 Budget in Brief:
3
“Stays the course” and “follows the financial plan” we established several years ago and continues our history of:
Conservative spending
Maintaining healthy cash reserves
Strong fiscal planning and adherence to fiscal
policies
We continue to realize:
Stable revenue streams
Significant levy growth available under $8.10
and ability to implement benefit levies.
FY 2014/15 Budget
4
First Key Area: We continue to recognize the need for human resources and operating budgets to grow as the city grows
For the first time in several years, we are recommending additional full-time positions for an Administrative Assistant in HR/Legal and Equipment Operators in Storm Water and Palmer Hills
We will continue to thoroughly review vacant positions in an effort to downsize, through restructuring and realignment of duties where possible.
Operating budgets reflect only marginal increases
Under utilized and/or outdated programs and services continue to be reviewed for future funding
In an effort to continue offering Premier Services to our Citizens, we seek balance in Three Key Areas:
5
Second Key Area: We continue to fund an aggressive CIP program to maintain/upgrade our existing infrastructure and support our growing community with quality amenities.
FY 14/15 funds $15.4 million of capital projects and maintains the debt levy at $5.00 per $1,000 of taxable value
As a growing community we realize that financing an aggressive CIP program equates to having a higher debt levy rate and corresponding debt margin ratio than many comparable cities.
The 5-year plan does however, decrease our debt margin ratio by 8% to just under 70% by the end of FY 18/19, while still allocating significant future tax dollars to support projects for our growing community.
We recognize the ongoing flexibility available to the City in reducing the debt levy and corresponding CIP projects if needed to balance future operating budgets.
Seeking Balance in Three Key Areas:
6
Third Key Area: We remain committed to making the difficult decision of increasing revenues through taxes and user fees “incrementally”, if needed, to balance our budget annually as costs increase.
1.We do not endorse deferring or holding off on raising fees and taxes only to later “spike” the rates to balance the budget This year we are recommending maintaining the levy rate at
$12.55. However, the impact will be:
2.87% reduction to existing commercial property Offset by a 2.68% increase on existing residential property (Direct result of the NEW 5% rollback on commercial property)
The budget as proposed, also reflects marginal, “planned” increases in user fees for Garbage/Recycling, Storm Water, Sewer, LFC and Palmer Hills.
IMPACT: The City’s overall cost of services including property taxes, sewer and storm water fees and solid waste fees remains the 3rd lowest among our sample of 30 Iowa cities with populations of 10,000 or more.

FY 13/14 Cost of Solid Waste Charges for Typical Bettendorf ResidenceA sample of 30 Iowa Cities with 2010 Census populations of 10,000 or More*
*Assumptions: 65 gallon or nearest comparable garbage cart. For cities using private waste collection, the cost reflects rates provided by private haulers.--Prepared by Bettendorf finance staff.
38
A balanced budget that maintains the current levy rate at $12.55 while reducing the reliance on Gaming Revenue for operational expenditures.
Despite holding the levy rate, Bettendorf homeowners will see a slight increase in the City portion of their tax bills in FY 14/15 due to the increase in the rollback on residential property.
Most commercial property owners will see a decrease in the City portion of their tax bills due to the 5% rollback on commercial property.
