City Council Minutes December 17, 1990 Page 10 e PROGRAM. COUNCILMEMBER KROPUENSKE SECONDED THE MOTION. CARRIED 5-0. THE MOTION 7.4 Bud~et Amendments The Finance Director reviewed the 1990 proposed General Fund budget amendments. She indicated that the City expected total revenues to exceed total expenditures by $55,000. Ms. Johnson stated that the proposed budget amendments include setting aside $35,000 as a reserve for the City's sick pay liability. Ms. Johnson noted that in addition to making budget amendments, the Infrastructure Replacement Fund and Recreation Fund should both be closed to the General Fund. She indicated that because neither of these funds has major revenue sources other than general tax revenues, it is appropriate that they be rolled into the General Fund. This will help to more easily identify general tax levy expenditures. Ms. Johnson informed the Council that the infrastructure expenditures will be rolled into the Street Department budget and recreation will become a separate department under the General Fund.
