I. CONSIDERATION OF THE 1981- 1982 CITY BUDGET
Preliminary Comments
Geoff Grote, Legal Assistant, stated that this was the first of eight meetings to
review the budget, ask questions of staff, and make changes. He said that seven
study sessions would be held in June and the eighth meeting would be held as a
public hearing on July 7 to formally adopt the 1981 -1982 budget. He said that
the council would be looking at the overview and projected revenues and also the
projected expenditures for the committees and non - departmental appropriations.
He continued that following the decisions on the HRC programs, which include
money for grants -in -aid, the council will decide in July how those grants -in -aid
will be spent.
Rudy Muravez, Finance Director, discussed the timeline and how the document was
put together. He stated that each department, upon the request of the CAO, pre-
pared a budget for their operations, also a part and process of the CIP .budget,
which was a series of meetings by the staff to ask departments and requests for
their needs. This includes personnel and personnel requests and doesn't include
the negotiated salary schedules from their various groups.
A. Overview
Rudy Muravez, Finance Director, stated that in March of this year instructions
for the 81 -82 budget were issued, with a theme of razor -blade cutting costs.
The requests in the preliminary draft included major items of capital equipment,
employee services, and materials and supplies. He continued that on April 6 major
items were discussed, and explained the reason for going to a preliminary request
was that there was no sense in developing the detail for an item that realistically
could be funded. He said that the final requests came in on May 1. With the
final requests, the Finance Department did the salary projections and put the
document into final form. He added that a memo was sent out with the budget
instructions saying that a 7 percent ceiling was put on supplies and services
requests, 7 percent based on the preliminary review of the revenues. He included
personnel and capital equipment, and left such items as maintenance and operations,
services, and divided to the various cost categories that are fee supported. He
stated that there was a new category called expense transfer, which is the alloca-
tion of the overhead, and added that some categories were non - existent last year.
In summary, he said that the document itself was structured with a summary in
front, revenues and expenditurescategorized by source and activity. He pointed
out that the categorization of expenditures was based per department funds and
activity.
B. Projected Revenues
Rudy Muravez stated that he attempted to do the projection models statistically,
but in a political environment it was a real guessing game. He touched upon the
major categories of revenue which were contained in the blue schedule of the
budget document starting.on page 5. He categorized revenues based on two years
ago, and estimated what the projections would be for the current fiscal year.
He said that taxes were the major source of general fund income, some 43 percent
of the total revenues, including property tax, bed tax, utility users tax, sales
and use taxes, etc. He summarized where the city stands on current service
charges, fees that are charged by the city; sewer revenues, licenses and permits;
and other revenues.
The City Council resumed their study of the proposed 1981 -1982 Budget-
