The Champlin City Council unanimously approved the cityâs 2021 operating budget in efficient fashion at Monday nightâs regular meeting.Â
Champlin Finance Director Shelly Peterson presented the final budget to the council, who resoundingly approved the budget. The city will levy $11,858,979 in property taxes.
The biggest chunk of the nearly $12 million levy goes is used for public safety. Of the nearly $5.9 million devoted to public safety, the Champlin Police Department is on the budget for just over $4.6 million, while the cityâs fire department will receive $685,800.
The levy is an increase in the gross levy of $790,173 or 7.1% over the 2020 final adopted levy. This increase supports current service levels, several new initiatives and the annual debt obligation.
