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.
