[edit] Public Pensions
The city has $715 in a trust fund for retired city workers that needs an estimated $8.5 million to meet future obligations. The city’s police pension fund takes 13 percent of the property tax levy, up from 7 percent just five years ago. The share of property tax revenue has risen from 9 percent to 14 percent over the same period for the fire department pension fund. The bigger bite pensions are taking out of tax revenue has meant less money for the city’s general fund, which has seen its share of the property tax levy fall from 67 percent to 56 percent since 2006.
