AGENDA ITEM NO. (9) City Manager Report
DATE: August 28, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: Schedule of Changes to the Proposed Budget
SUBMITTED BY: Nelson Van Liere, Finance Director
DATE: AUGUST 28, 2000
BACKGROUND: The Proposed Budget document was delivered to the Mayor and City
Commission on August 1, 2000 afterwards,two budget workshops were
conducted. All major issues were discussed and from that, we have
compiled a list of items which are to be added to the proposed budget.
Also discussed in the workshops were a number of important budget
issues that after discussion, will remain unchanged. These included no
increase in the tax millage rate, an across the board raise of 4% for all
employees and the addition of a few employees that will help to meet the
strategic goals set forth in the recent goal setting workshops.
• At the last budget workshop meeting,the staff recommended that the
Water and Sewer Utility rates be adjusted to generate an additional
$650,000 in operating revenues. This would allow the utilities to
implement a capital improvement program on a"pay as we go basis"with
approximately 1 million a year as the funding source. This increase in
•
revenues will also improve the debt coverage ratio in upcoming years.
As a result of the workshop discussion, we are working on a rate proposal
that will generate the desired revenues with a two year implementation.
The staff will propose a rate ordinance for a two year period. The City has
not raised rates since the end of the scheduled rate increases relating to the
bond issue in January of 1997. The proposed budget document will
include these enhanced revenues.
The attached schedule of changes along with the original proposed
document will represent the proposed budget. An ordinance will be
presented for the City Commission's consideration for adoption on
September 11, 2000. Also at that meeting the City Commission will be
asked to adopt a tentative millage rate. The public hearings on the final
budget and millage are scheduled to be on September 25th, 2000.
