<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2000 Budget <br />August 26, 1999 <br />Pag-e 5 <br /> <br />. The City Council budget includes contributions of $3,000 to the <br />Historical Society and $3,000 to the Rivers of Hope. (These items have <br />never made it into a departmental budget, and if approved by the <br />council have come out of the contingency fund.) <br />. Interest revenue could be slightly increased (an additional $10,000) <br /> <br />All of the key department heads associated with the general fund budget are <br />scheduled to be attendance at the 8/30 worksession (except the Fire Chiefwho is out <br />of town). At this meeting, staff plans to provide verbal comments on each <br />departmental budget and to answer City Council questions. Staff will be looking for <br />council feedback on additional changes and how to proceed with the preparation of <br />the 2000 budget. <br /> <br />By September 15, 1999, the city needs to certify to the county its proposed <br />maximum tax level for 2000. I think that we will need to have a follow-up special <br />budget meeting, and a date should be set up long enough after the 8/30 meeting so <br />that staff can respond to council direction and yet early enough before the 9/15 <br />deadline so that we can get the council adopted figures put in order for certification <br />to the County Auditor. The timing is somewhat tricky, as we already have a 9/7 <br />special meeting set up with the Utilities Commission, and some staff time will be <br />required to prepare for this special meeting. <br />
