The Honorable Mayor
Members of Council
Dear Council Members:
In accordance with Council action of~May 9, 1983,
the staff has made changes to the appropriation ordinance
and will include the changes in the budget document in
accordance with pages 1 and 2 attached.
The budget ordinance has been revised to reflect
the following:
1. Deletion of the budget and positions of
the High Constable's office which had
been added to the Treasurer's office.
With this change, there will be no funds
appropriated in any department to fund
the High Constable's operations.
2. The service level of $74,111 in the
Treasurer's budget for positions for
proration of personal property taxes
had been deleted from the ordinance
passed on May 9th and, in accordance
with Council instructions,remains out
of the amended ordinance.
3. Additional contribution to the Eastern
Virginia Medical School of $50,000 to
make the total contribution $250,000.
4. Restoration of the appropriation for tax
exemptions for the elderly and handicapped
to $100,000.
After making these changes, the total 1983-1984
budget amounts to $292,769,455. The revised ordinance
to appropriate ~unds for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1984 is enclosed. Also enclosed for second reading
are ordinances to establish tax rates for real estate,
personal property and machinery and tools as well as
the ordinance to reduce the restaurant meal tax from
the rate of 5% to 4%.
These ordinances are recommended for Council consideration
and action.
Sincerely yours,
