than population head counts, except as required by the Constitution and the laws of the United
States.
8. By ordinance, the council shall prescribe the compensation of the mayor, council
members, and other elected city officers, but a change in the compensation of the mayor
does not become effective during the term in which the change is adopted, and the council
shall not adopt an ordinance changing the compensation of the mayor, council members, or
other elected officers during the months of November and December in the year of a regular
city election. A change in the compensation of council members becomes effective for all
council members at the beginning of the term of the council members elected at the election
next following the change in compensation. Except as provided in section 362.5, an elected
city officer is not entitled to receive any other compensation for any other city office or city
employment during that officer’s tenure in office, but may be reimbursed for actual expenses
incurred. However, if the mayor pro tem performs the duties of the mayor during the mayor’s
absence or disability for a continuous period of fifteen days or more, the mayor pro tem may
be paid for that period the compensation determined by the council, based upon the mayor
pro tem’s performance of the mayor’s duties and upon the compensation of the mayor.
9. A council member, during the term for which that member is elected, is not eligible for
appointment to any city office if the office has been created or the compensation of the office
has been increased during the term for which that member is elected. A person who resigns
from an elective office is not eligible for appointment to the same office during the time for
which that person was elected if during that time, the compensation of the office has been
increased.
10. A council member, during the term for which that member is elected, is not precluded
from holding the office of chief of the volunteer fire department or from serving the volunteer
fire department in any other position or capacity. A person holding the office of chief of such a
volunteer fire department at the time of the person’s election to the city council may continue
to hold the office of chief of the fire department during the city council term for which that
person was elected.
11. a. Council members shall be elected according to the council representation plans
under sections 372.4 and 372.5. However, the council representation plan may be changed, by
petition and election, to one of those described in this subsection. Upon receipt of a petition
meeting the requirements of section 362.4, requesting a change to a council representation
plan, the council shall submit the question at a special election. If a majority of the persons
voting at the special election approves the changed plan, it becomes effective at the beginning
of the term following the next regular city election. If a majority does not approve the changed
plan, the council shall not submit another proposal to change a plan to the voters within the
next two years.
b. Eligible electors of a city may petition for one of the following council representation
plans:
(1) Election at large without ward residence requirements for the members.

TO: Adrienne Breitfelder, City Clerk
FROM: Jennifer Larson, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Council Compensation Task Force – Budget Impact
DATE: May 8, 2025
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information requested related to the property
tax levy and funding for expenditures after budget adoption.
DISCUSSION
Iowa Code sections 384.1 and 384.2 establishes general authority for cities to levy property
taxes and the general fund levy, which is the main levy used to fund the city’s general
operations.
A city cannot adjust their property tax levy mid-year once the budget has been certified. Iowa
cities operate on an annual budget cycle. The property tax levy is determined as part of this
annual budget process. Cities are required to hold public hearings on their proposed budgets
and levies before adopting them. Once the City Council adopts the budget and sets the levy
rates, the budget is certified to the Iowa Department of Management and the County Auditor
by April 30th each year. The County Auditor uses these certified levy rates, along with the
assessed value of properties, to calculate the individual property tax bills. The first installment
of property tax bills is then issued to property owners in March, and the amounts are based
on the certified levies. Therefore, once the levy is certified, the city cannot go back and
change the levy rate for that tax year.
A mid-year increase to Council compensation would require City staff to identify existing
funds to fund the increase.
It is my recommendation that any future Council compensation review is aligned with the
budget process so that it is not necessary for City staff to identify funding outside of the
budget process. To do this, the Council compensation task force would need to be convened
a year earlier so that the recommendation can be prepared for Fiscal Year 2030. In
August/September 2028, the Council compensation task force would be convened and would
make their recommendation to City Council. This recommendation would be factored into the
Fiscal Year 2030 budget process. Wage increases for the City Council would take effect

While the City Council salary review was not aligned with the budget process this year, any
change in compensation related to Fiscal Year 2026 would have a minimal impact on the City
budget, especially since the impact on Fiscal Year 2026 would only be for six
months. Historically, the City ends each year with a general fund budget surplus, and the
minimal increase could be absorbed by the General Fund.

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX – APRIL 2025
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent on a seasonally
adjusted basis in April, after falling 0.1 percent in March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported
today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 2.3 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The index for shelter rose 0.3 percent in April, accounting for more than half of the all items monthly
increase. The energy index also increased over the month, rising 0.7 percent as increases in the natural
gas index and the electricity index more than offset a decline in the gasoline index. The index for food,
in contrast, fell 0.1 percent in April as the food at home index decreased 0.4 percent and the food away
from home index rose 0.4 percent over the month.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in April, following a 0.1-percent increase
in March. Indexes that increased over the month include household furnishings and operations, medical
care, motor vehicle insurance, education, and personal care. The indexes for airline fares, used cars and
trucks, communication, and apparel were among the major indexes that decreased in April.
The all items index rose 2.3 percent for the 12 months ending April, after rising 2.4 percent over the 12
months ending March. The April change was the smallest 12-month increase in the all items index since
February 2021. The all items less food and energy index rose 2.8 percent over the last 12 months. The
energy index decreased 3.7 percent for the 12 months ending April. The food index increased 2.8
percent over the last year.
Changes to leased cars and trucks source data and methodology
Effective with this release, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has replaced the survey data
collected for the CPI’s leased cars and trucks index with transaction data purchased from a vendor to
increase the accuracy of the index.
The Measuring Price Change in the CPI: Leased cars and trucks factsheet at
www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/leased-cars-and-trucks.htm has been updated to reflect these changes.

Rebasing of Selected Consumer Price Index Series
With the publication of July 2025 data on August 12, 2025, several CPI series will be rebased to
December 2024 = 100. When new base years are introduced, BLS recalculates each index back to the
beginning of that series to ensure continuity. A complete list of indexes to be rebased is available at
www.bls.gov/cpi/additional-resources/rebased-series.htm.

Technical Note
Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in prices paid by consumers for goods and
services. The CPI reflects spending patterns for each of two population groups: all urban consumers and
urban wage earners and clerical workers. The all urban consumer group represents over 90 percent of
the total U.S. population. It is based on the expenditures of almost all residents of urban or metropolitan
areas, including professionals, the self-employed, the poor, the unemployed, and retired people, as well
as urban wage earners and clerical workers. Not included in the CPI are the spending patterns of people
living in rural nonmetropolitan areas, farming families, people in the Armed Forces, and those in
institutions, such as prisons and mental hospitals. Consumer inflation for all urban consumers is
measured by two indexes, namely, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the
Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U).
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is based on the
expenditures of households included in the CPI-U definition that meet two requirements: more than one-
half of the household's income must come from clerical or wage occupations, and at least one of the
household's earners must have been employed for at least 37 weeks during the previous 12 months. The
CPI-W population represents approximately 30 percent of the total U.S. population and is a subset of the
CPI-U population.
The CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation, doctors’ and dentists’
services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected
each month in 75 urban areas across the country from about 6,000 housing units and approximately
22,000 retail establishments (department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types
of stores and service establishments). All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are
included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 75 locations.
Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic
areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal
visit, telephone call, web, or app collection by the Bureau’s trained representatives.
In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are aggregated using
weights, which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local
data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For the CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes are
also published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and
population-size classes, and for 23 selected local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the
level of prices among cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base
period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national level. The CPI-U and CPI-W are
considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and subject to three
subsequent quarterly revisions.
The index measures price change from a designed reference date. For most of the CPI-U and the CPI-W,
the reference base is 1982-84 equals 100. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999 equals
100. An increase of 7 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 107.000. Alternatively,
that relationship can also be expressed as the price of a base period market basket of goods and services
rising from $100 to $107.
Sampling Error in the CPI
The CPI is a statistical estimate that is subject to sampling error because it is based upon a sample of
retail prices and not the complete universe of all prices. BLS calculates and publishes estimates of the 1-
-6-
Page 19 of 52
month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent change standard errors annually for the CPI-U. These
standard error estimates can be used to construct confidence intervals for hypothesis testing. For
example, the estimated standard error of the 1-month percent change is 0.03 percent for the U.S. all
items CPI. This means that if we repeatedly sample from the universe of all retail prices using the same
methodology, and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95 percent of these estimates will
be within 0.06 percent of the 1-month percentage change based on all retail prices. For example, for a 1-
month change of 0.2 percent in the all items CPI-U, we are 95 percent confident that the actual percent
change based on all retail prices would fall between 0.14 and 0.26 percent. For the latest data, including
information on how to use the estimates of standard error, see www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/variance-
estimates/home.htm.
Calculating Index Changes
Movements of the indexes from 1 month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than
changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to
its base period, while percent changes are not. The following table shows an example of using index
values to calculate percent changes:
Item A Item B Item C
Year I 112.500 225.000 110.000
Year II 121.500 243.000 128.000
Change in index
9.000 18.000 18.000
points
Percent change 9.0/112.500 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/225.000 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/110.000 x 100 = 16.4
Use of Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) program produces both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data.
Seasonally adjusted data are computed using seasonal factors derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS
seasonal adjustment method. These factors are updated each February, and the new factors are used to
revise the previous 5 years of seasonally adjusted data. The factors are available at
www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/seasonal-adjustment/seasonal-factors-2025.xlsx. For more information on data
revision scheduling, please see the Factsheet on Seasonal Adjustment at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal-
adjustment/questions-and-answers.htm and the Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological
Changes at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal-adjustment/timeline-seasonal-adjustment-methodology-
changes.htm.
How to Use Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
For analyzing short-term price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred
since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same
magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from weather events, production cycles,
model changeovers, holidays, and sales. This allows data users to focus on changes that are not typical
for the time of year.
The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay.
Unadjusted data are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract
agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index
-7-
Page 20 of 52
before adjustment for seasonal variation. BLS advises against the use of seasonally adjusted data in
escalation agreements because seasonally adjusted series are revised annually for five years.
Intervention Analysis
The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses intervention analysis seasonal adjustment (IASA) for some CPI
series. Sometimes extreme values or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of
price change. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment is a process by which the distortions caused by
such unusual events are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors.
The resulting seasonal factors, which more accurately represent the seasonal pattern, are then applied to
the unadjusted data.
For example, this procedure was used for the motor fuel series to offset the effects of the 2009 return to
normal pricing after the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. Retaining this outlier data during
seasonal factor calculation would distort the computation of the seasonal portion of the time series data
for motor fuel, so it was estimated and removed from the data prior to seasonal adjustment. Following
that, seasonal factors were calculated based on this “prior adjusted” data. These seasonal factors
represent a clearer picture of the seasonal pattern in the data. The last step is for motor fuel seasonal
factors to be applied to the unadjusted data.
For the seasonal factors introduced for January 2025, BLS adjusted 63 series using intervention analysis
seasonal adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels and vehicles.
Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Indexes
Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average all items index levels, are subject to revision
for up to 5 years after their original release. Every year, economists in the CPI calculate new seasonal
factors for seasonally adjusted series and apply them to the last 5 years of data. Seasonally adjusted
indexes beyond the last 5 years of data are considered to be final and not subject to revision. For January
2025, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2020 to 2024 were calculated and
published. For series which are directly adjusted using the Census X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal
adjustment software, the seasonal factors for 2024 will be applied to data for 2025 to produce the
seasonally adjusted 2025 indexes. Series which are indirectly seasonally adjusted by summing
seasonally adjusted component series have seasonal factors which are derived and are therefore not
available in advance.
Determining Seasonal Status
Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. Using
these criteria, BLS economists determine whether a series should change its status from "not seasonally
adjusted" to "seasonally adjusted", or vice versa. If any of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all
items index change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted,
not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years,
but the seasonally adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. For 2025, 34 of the 81
components of the U.S. city average all items index are not seasonally adjusted.

NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is,
therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national
index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national
average CPI for use in their escalator clauses.

The C-CPI-U is designed to be a closer approximation to a cost-of-living index in that it, in its final form, accounts for any substitution that
consumers make across item categories in response to changes in relative prices. Since the expenditure data required for the calculation of the
C-CPI-U are available only with a time lag, the C-CPI-U is issued first in preliminary form using the latest available expenditure data at that time and
is subject to four revisions.
Indexes are issued as initial estimates. Indexes are revised each quarter with the publication of January, April, July, and October data as updated
expenditure estimates become available. The C-CPI-U indexes are updated quarterly until they become final. January-March indexes are final in
January of the following year; April-June indexes are final in April of the following year; July-September indexes are final in July of the following year;
October-December indexes are final in October of the following year.

The ’effect’ of an item category is a measure of that item’s contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of
0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase.
Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that month the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8
percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items
index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were
rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent).
2
A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 0.6
percent, and its standard error was 0.15 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 1-month percent change would be 0.6 percent, plus or minus 0.3
percent.
3
If the current seasonally adjusted 1-month percent change is greater than the previous published 1-month percent change, then this column
identifies the closest prior month with a 1-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 1-month change. If the current 1-month
percent change is smaller than the previous published 1-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than
the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 1-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard
numerical comparisons are used. For example, 0.8% is greater than 0.6%, -0.4% is less than -0.2%, and -0.2% is less than 0.0%. Note that a
(L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price
index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price
index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change.

The ’effect’ of an item category is a measure of that item’s contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of
0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase.
Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that year the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8
percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items
index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were
rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent).
2
A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 2.6
percent, and its standard error was 0.25 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 12-month percent change would be 2.6 percent, plus or minus
0.5 percent.
3
If the current 12-month percent change is greater than the previous published 12-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior
month with a 12-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 12-month change. If the current 12-month percent change is
smaller than the previous published 12-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month
change is identified. If the current and previous published 12-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparison
is used. For example, 2.0% is greater than 0.6%, -4.4% is less than -2.0%, and -2.0% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a
smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller
changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a
-0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change.
