Estimated General Fund Revenues <br />There are several revenue sources that are starting to indicate a trend upward such as development fees. <br />The allocation of the transfer from the electric utility is annually reviewed with the amount going to the <br />equipment replacement fund. Staff is currently updating the 10-year forecast of equipment replacement <br />needs. <br />Other Items <br />Fuel price per gallon will start at $3.25 - we fully intend to use state contract pricing again. <br />Council Contingency - We anticipate starting with $50,000, the same amount as 2012. <br />With the reorganization we will do a cross-walk to move the related budget expenditures to <br />the appropriate places. For comparison purposes throughout the budget process with prior <br />years this will be done at the end of the budget process. <br />Council on Local Results and Innovation (State Auditor <br />Included in your packet is a memo from the Office of the State Auditor on Local Results and Innovation. <br />This is a voluntary program for counties and cities to adopt a standard set of 10 performance measures <br />that will measure residents' opinions of various services. We adopted a resolution in 2011 and <br />accomplished the 10 adopted measurers by completing our city survey and posting the results on our <br />website. If the Council is interested again, we can adopt a resolution. We will discuss this in more detail <br />at the meeting. <br />Use of Fund Balance <br />Use of the fund balance is again an option to balance the budget in 2013. We anticipate working on the <br />preliminary budget without using fund balance, but as the process moves forward we can determine its <br />best use in the budget. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />N/A <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• OSA Memo on Local Results and Innovation <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />C:\Users\jjohnson\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.0utlook\SFWAYSNS\Budget Staff Report <br />0G1112.docx <br />
