ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Director of Finance Mark Mason announced this year spending will amount to about $16 million.
NEW BUSINESS:
The Board members reviewed the spending of each individual department in the proposed
$15.7 million dollar budget in less than three hours. The board members found little that they
wanted to change. Preliminary projections indicate that the property tax rate of $5 per $1,000
assessed value might not have to be increased this year. The general fund, which finances
most city departments except the airport and golf course is projected to spend $6.7 million for
operating expenses. This figure does not include capital improvement items. Mr. Mason
informed the committee that the undesignated fund balance contained $2.3 million. The
proposed fiscal 2001 budget includes a provision to "draw down" $150,000 from the fund to
finance the renovation of City Hall.
