BUDGET MESSAGE
Office of the City Manager
INTRODUCTION
In accordance with Article VI of the City Charter, we are submitting herewith a recommended
budget for the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, for the period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.
The recommended budget is balanced within the total of estimated income plus unencumbered
fund balances.
The budget provides the financial plan for the various City departments to deliver services to the
citizens of the City and provide infrastructure for future City development. The various
departments funded under this budget are organized by department as set out in the administration
ordinance of the City. These departments include Administrative Services, Development Services,
Parks and Recreation, Public Safety, and Public Works. Outside of these departments are the
following budget categories: Debt Service and Capital Improvement Program (governmental fund
types only) and Contingency. Internal Service Funds (funds that provide and charge for service to
other city programs) are not included in the above categories to avoid reporting costs twice.
The Administrative Services Department administers the fiscal affairs and personnel policies, and
provides legal counsel and representation. The Municipal Court is included in Administrative
Services. This budget authorizes 27.93 full time equivalent employees (FTE) for this department.
Its proposed operating budget is $4,364,271.
The Development Service Department coordinates activities pertaining to community and
economic development. This budget authorizes 52.04 (FTE) for this department. Its proposed
operating budget is $6,810,186.
The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for the care and upkeep of the 27 city parks
totaling around 681 acres, maintaining 5 indoor and numerous outdoor recreation facilities, a golf
course, 10 miles of trail, and supervising a city recreation program. In addition this department
operates Visit Cape. This budget authorizes 117.06 (FTE) for this department. Its proposed
operating budget is $9,109,311.
The Public Safety Department is responsible for protecting life and property through the
enforcement of state and city ordinances, fire and crime prevention activities, and emergency
response. Its service area is approximately 28.4 square miles and is responsible for protecting
approximately 40,000 citizens and a total day-time population of approximately 100,000 people.
This budget authorizes 202.64 (FTE) for this department. Its proposed operating budget is
$21,851,658.
The Public Works Department is responsible for the care and maintenance of the city streets and
sidewalks, the operation and maintenance of the city’s water and sewer systems, the operation of
city’s solid waste disposal service, and maintenance of the city’s storm water systems. This
department currently maintains 230 linear miles of streets, 330 linear miles of water lines, and
II
INTRODUCTION (cont.)
275 linear miles of sanitary sewer lines. This budget authorizes 77.65 (FTE) for this department.
Its proposed operating budget is $27,643,593.
The total budget authorizes 495.46 (FTE) with a total operating budget of $77,530,002. This
budget also authorizes an additional $23,861,025 in capital outlays and $9,604,876.29 in debt
service payments.
Budget Hearing Requirements
The City Council, in accordance with Article VI of the City Charter is required to hold a public
hearing on the proposed budget. It is recommended that this public hearing be held on Monday,
June 2, 2025. It is also recommended that the City Council consider adoption of the budget
ordinance at its meetings on June 2 and June 16, 2025.
Another public hearing will be required in conjunction with the adoption of the tax levy. The state
law requires the County Clerk to certify to the City, by July 1 of each year, the assessment
information on which the City can calculate its actual tax levy. Once this information has been
provided to the City, the City Council must hold a public hearing after adequate notice has been
published, and at that time (normally first meeting in August), the City Council formally adopts
the tax levy for the City of Cape Girardeau.
BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING BASIS
All financial data included in this budget reflects the modified accrual method of accounting.
Under the modified accrual method capital purchases, bond issuance costs, and bond principal
repayments are reflected as expenses when made and bond proceeds, grants for capital projects,
special tax assessments, and sewer connections fees are treated as revenue when received.
PROGRAM BUDGETS
A summary of the program budgets is included on page 2 of this budget. A more detailed
breakdown of the programs by departments is included in pages 3 – 8. Total operating expenditures
for all programs excluding Internal Service Funds is $73,994,725. This is a total increase of 5.01%
over the prior year's original adopted budget.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
The General Fund is almost totally supported by general taxes and accounts for the basic municipal
functions of police, fire, street maintenance, parks maintenance, etc. In addition, this fund is used
to finance temporary cash flow shortfalls in other funds, to provide a contingency account, to
provide operating transfers to the employee benefits, health, parks and recreation, airport, and
outdoor sports complex funds, and to meet special project needs for economic development and
other purposes approved by the City Council.
III
INTRODUCTION (cont.)
The revenues for this fund are as follows:
SOURCE AMOUNT
% OF
TOTAL
FUND
%
CHANGE
Property Taxes 2,647,180 7.0% -0.1%
Sales Tax 13,100,000 34.7% 0.0%
Franchise Taxes 5,055,879 13.4% 1.9%
Other Taxes 293,324 0.8% -6.4%
Licenses & Permits 2,200,712 5.8% 0.6%
Public Safety Grants 259,600 0.7% 3.3%
Public Service Fees 96,900 0.3% 18.2%
Fines & Forfeitures 268,167 0.7% -2.7%
Lease and Rental 289,241 0.8% 22.3%
Miscellaneous 583,766 1.5% 21.0%
Internal Service charges 1,323,010 3.5% 11.1%
Motor Fuel Tax Transfer 1,700,000 4.5% 10.4%
Recreational MJ Sales Tax 704,072 1.9% 40.8%
Sales Tax Transfers 4,953,010 13.1% 0.8%
Use Tax 4,300,000 11.4% 13.2%
37,774,861 100.0% 3.5%
Sales and Use Tax represents 46.1% of the total General Fund budget; therefore, the assumptions
of growth in this revenue can have a significant impact on the amount of funds projected to be
available for payroll, equipment, and capital improvement projects.
Franchise Taxes represent 13.3% of the total General Fund budget. Each 1% change in franchise
tax receipts equals approximately $46,100 in revenue.
The Property Tax, which is the next most important revenue source, represents 7% of the General
Fund.
USER CHARGES
Projected sewer, water and solid waste revenues included in this budget are based on activity from
the year ending June 30, 2025 and projected rates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
Residential and commercial water, sewer charges, residential solid waste and recycling charges
are to increase 5% the first billing in July.
IV
INTRODUCTION (cont.)
DEBT SERVICE
A summary of the city's outstanding bonded debt and its anticipated sources of repayment are
included along with detailed schedules of debt service requirements in the appendices. Total debt
service payments during the coming fiscal year will be $9,604,876. Debt service is paid from
specific revenue sources designated for that purpose in this budget.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Projects (or phases of projects) as set out in the Capital Improvement Plan recently adopted by the
City Council are included in this budget to the extent funding is available and planning procedures
have been completed.
A parks / storm water sales tax was extended April 2018 and will provide funding for the parks
and storm water projects included in the Capital Improvement Program. However, these projects
have not been included in this budget but are included in project length budgets.
CONCLUSION
In preparing the annual operating budget, the City Staff and I continue our commitment to the
community. This budget reflects the importance of taking care of what we have, while spending
for new infrastructure for those projects specific to tax incentive funds as promised. We are
sensitive to the challenges before us, assessing constraints and identifying opportunities while
continuing to move forward. Throughout the budget process we have identified necessary
spending increases, and requested our teams to realign spending before requesting additional
funds. I am pleased that our team met the challenge! The efforts resulted in a budget that reflects
more efficient operations, effective cost controls and successful cost recovery strategies.
With the dedication of City Staff and City Council’s continued support, we are confident we can
continue to deliver outstanding services to our citizens. We look forward to the future.
Respectfully submitted,
City Manager Finance Director
Dr. Kenneth Haskin Lisa Mills

Municipal Court
The Municipal Court has exclusive original jurisdiction to hear and rule on all complaints under
City ordinances. It is empowered to imprison and/or fine any person violating City ordinances.
2024-2025 Accomplishments:
The Court staff successfully completed the Court’s last year’s goal of moving all open
cases from the Court’s legacy software, InCode, to the state software Show Me Courts.
We were about halfway complete at this time last year. At this time, we have completed
the process and negotiated a new maintenance contract for the InCode system. Although
we have not received the completed contract yet, the last contact with the InCode
representative quoted a maintenance fee of about one-third of the current maintenance
yearly fees. We are negotiating to make the effective date of this new contract retroactive
so we can apply some of the maintenance fees paid in the current fiscal year to the
upcoming fiscal year. Eventually, we may be able to reduce the fees even further if this
transition is successful over the course of the next couple years.
The Court had another clerk retire in December of 2024. This is the second year in a row
we have had a long term employee retire. We filled only one of those positions and have
continued to operate with only three clerks. We have not reduced efficiency and have
continued to provide good customer service to the citizens of Cape Girardeau.
The Judge and Court staff have participated in cyber security training again this year to
ensure compliance with the use of state software. Each individual court employee is
required to pass modules on various cyber security units to continue using the software.
2025-2026 Goals:
The Court staff has been working diligently since early this year to go through old records
stored at Fire Station 3. When we moved to our current location, these files did not make
the move with us. There was not sufficient storage at the Court for these records. There
have been hundreds of old Court records being stored at that facility for many years. The
process of destroying Court records is not simple. There are multiple steps to determine
the retention period for these records depending on the type of case. Once cases are
identified as eligible for destruction, the Court Clerk must prepare a destruction order
listing the cases and present such order to the presiding judge of the Circuit. Only the
presiding judge can then order the listed cases destroyed. Once that order is obtained, the
records are destroyed on site while the Court Clerk observes. Currently we have been able
to destroy approximately 175 boxes. We have several more boxes of records to go through
but the Court Administrator estimates that by July we should have a sufficient number
offered and ordered destroyed that we can move the remaining boxes to the Court Office.
This will aid the Court Clerks when providing certified copies of court records and should
not require the City to use any additional storage space.
We are continuing to educate ourselves in Court processes and ever evolving Court
software as we expect there will be upcoming changes in the uniform fine schedule,
municipal charge codes and changes to Supreme Court Rule 37 are being discussed. We
work daily to stay abreast of such changes so we can provide accurate and up-to-date
information to the public.
