FISCAL YEAR 2009/2010 ANNUAL BUDGET Director Black stated four months ago Staff began developing revenue estimates, personnel cost projections and assembling departmental requests for the 2009/2010 Fiscal Year operating budget. Due to the state of the economy the budget process has been challenging. Director Black noted an initial presentation was made to the City Council in March. The Finance and Personnel Committee then met and began budget discussion and deliberation. Following three meetings, the Committee voted to recommend the operating budget that is before Council for consideration this evening. Director Black stated the budgeted revenues in the General Fund are $16,298,497 which represents a decrease of $761,300 from the prior year. The total General Fund expenditure budget is $16,306,259, a decrease of $732,500 over the previous year. Director Black noted the Water and Sewer Fund is an Enterprise Fund, indicating that revenues derived from the operation of the utility should fully fund its operations. The Capital Improvements Fund budget is greatly reduced from the prior year. The budget includes expenditures of $497,500. At this time funds are not currently budgeted for Water and Sewer Improvement project in the Utility Improvements Fund. Director Black thanked Staff and members of the Finance and Personnel Committee for their diligence and efforts in bringing forth a balanced budget.. Director Black stated it is the recommendation of Staff and the Finance and Personnel Committee to approve the 2009-2010 Fiscal Year Operating Budget as presented. April 27,2009 Page 4 Alderman Murgatroyd stated he concurs with Director Black in that this was an extremely difficult task to develop a balanced budget, particularly in light of the economy and projected reduction in revenues. He suggested the budget be monitored closely throughout the year. He noted it is imperative the City stay on a sound financial platform. Alderman Condon concurred with Alderman Murgatroyd, noting Staff and the Finance and Personnel Committee were very prudent in their deliberations. Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Condon, to accept the recommendation of Staff and the Finance and Personnel Committee to approve the 2009/2010 Fiscal Year Operating Budget as presented.
