Mayor Coletti and City Councilmembers:
Ordinance # 708 Ammon Lighting Districts FY 2024 Annual Appropriations
Ordinance # 707 City of Ammon FY 2024 Annual Appropriations
Staff Presenting:
Jennifer Belfield, Finance Director
Recommendation
- Staff respectfully recommends that the Ammon City Council adopt fiscal year 2024 Annual
Appropriations Ordinances 708 and 707 and waive the three readings.
Summary of Analysis
1. We have 10 Lighting Districts. Districts 1, 2, 8, and 10 remained the same as last year. Districts 4,
6, and 9 updated the reserves for pole replacements. Districts 3, 5, and 7 added additional lots
and lights. We anticipate over this next year to add some new Lighting Districts.
2. June 8 Council Work Session meeting was the preliminary budget presentations by the
department heads and Council liaisons, and we all discussed the details of the Ammon budget.
3. July 13 Work Session the budgets were presented for general approval, and authorization to
publish the budget.
4. August 3 was the public hearing on the budgets. There were no items contended.
5. We received the final property tax information. The updated valuation of the City of Ammon is
$2,259,642,894. We will be assessing $2,498,825, and our levy rate is estimated to be
.00110585. This is the eighth year in a row of our levy rate going down. A resident will pay
Ammon $110.58 per $100,000 taxable value of their property, a reduction of $16.18 per
$100,000 taxable value from the current year. Meaning we are receiving less revenues and
needing to provide more services.
6. Per Idaho Code 50-1003, the City Council of each city shall, prior to the commencement of each
fiscal year, pass an Ordinance to be termed the Annual Appropriation Ordinance.
7. The City Council to please adopt Ordinances 708 and 707, entitled the Annual Appropriation
Ordinance for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2023, appropriating to the various funds sums
of money deemed necessary to defray all expenses and liabilities within each fund for the
ensuing fiscal year, authorizing a levy of sufficient tax upon the taxable property, specifying the
objects and purpose for which said appropriation is made, and provide an effective date.
Financial Impact
The fiscal year 2023-24 City budget provides budget authority for the services and
projects the City anticipates providing during the new fiscal year.
All GL numbers will be impacted by the budget.
st
The two largest projects this next year are 1 Street from Hitt Road to Ammon Road,
and the City Hall expansion.
