Item I.D. ITEM # 30979
1989-1990 FISCAL YEAR OPERATING BUDGET
CITY MANAGER'S PRESENTATION
The City Manager presented the proposed FY 1989-90 PROPOSED OPERATING BUDGET,
totaling $597,698,684. Last year, the FY 1988-89 FY OPERATING BUDGET possessed
the lowest percentage incrase in 2 years. Despite mandates and other factors,
the City absorbed the full school increase and tightened their belt in City
Departments. As this was not possible this year, the City Manager made the
school board and school administration aware of revenue limits. However, the
School Board itself was and is confronted both with many state mandates and
identified local needs for education improvement. Consequently, the school
budget is significantly larger than can be absorbed without a tax increase.
This school-related real estate tax increase equals 5.5 cents per $100 Assessed
Value.
Regarding City Programs, the City Manager stated his primary GOALS:
Insure consistent and stable services
Meet mandates and commitments, either as a result
of external demands or policy initiatives of the
City Council.
Continue to be a good employer
Fulfill the CIP requirements and efforts to invest
in the future.
Dean Block, Assistant City Manager for Analysis and Evaluation, presented the
FINANCIAL SUMMARY of the FY 1989-90 PROPOSED OPERATING BUDGET.
