The Mayor opened the floor for a Public Hearing and invited comments from the audience. As no one spoke for or against, the Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed. Motion: Passage of Resolution No. 86-21. Edwards x Gulliford x Commissioner Gulliford asked about the new sheets to be inserted in the budget. On the first page, he asked how much of the enterprise revenues was restricted and how much was unrestricted. Mr. Royal replied on page 95, sewer fund, the only revenues not restricted were sewer service, $732,000, and interest earnings of $55,500. Commissioner Gulliford paid if you took the total revenues, and excluded those items considered .iot operation based, you would be talking about a revenue generation of $3,201,232 plus whatever unrestricted revenues from the enterprise funds might be. When you go down to expenditures and take out sewer plant con- struction and leave operating expenditures, you would be looking at $6,188,400. He expressed concern on the last figure before the ending balance: Sources & Uses of Working Capital showed a negative figure of ($286,020) which he felt was really deficit spending. He expressed the opinion "when you compare operating revenues and operating expenditures that they are out of balance, and at some point in the future, we will have to bring those into balance by either cutting expenditures or by increasing taxes, which I am very much opposed to. At first glance, everything looks rosy, but if you look at it from the standpoint of operations, I'm a little concerned, and would appreciate within the next month or so, you would analyze that and compare what our actual Cook x operating revenues versus our operating expenditures were, excluding Edwards x capital expenditures, and let's see where we are as a City". The Gulliford x question was called and the motion for passage carried unanimously. Howell x Miscellaneous Mayor Howell announced dates for the Public Hearings to be held on the annexation. Public Hearings for residents of the proposed annexation area were scheduled for October 6th and 20th at 7 :00 p.m. , and the hear- ings for Atlantic Beach citizens will be on October 7th and October 28th, also at 7p.m. in City Hall.
