2. INTRODUCTION
Mayor Gallagher said the first item to be discussed would be
the city's revenues.
3. REVIEW OF REVENUES
Mr. Christiansen said he had some good news. lie said there is
a good possibility that the state will not be taking the additional
$300,000 in property taxes from the city in 1993-94. He said the
state would probably continue the one-half cent sales tax and use
the monies for the schools. council Members said they should be
cautious and count on a $900,000 deficit at this time, and then
adjust the revenues if the state does not take the additional
property taxes away from the city.
Mr. Christiansen began discussion of the proposed budget,
covering the Fund Balance Projections, the four year Revenue and
Expenditure summaries, Inter-Fund Transfers, and Calculation of
Appropriation Limit from Tax Proceeds. lie discussed the Fund
summary and Revenue Detail for the General Fund. He said the
figures are the best estimates the Staff could make.
Mr. Christiansen then proceeded to Expenditure Detail for the
city departments. The Department Heads provided information about
the various budget items. The following tentative changes were
targeted in the proposed budget:
CITY COUNCIL - Deletion of $2,500 from Travel and Training
CENTRAL SERVICES - Deletion of $6,000 from Travel and Training and
$8,000 from contractual Services
CITY CLERK/TREASURER - Deletion of $450 from Contractual services
PLANNING - Deletion of $1,100 from Travel and Training and $5000
