•~ FALCON HEIGHTS 2077 W. Larpenteur Avenue Falcon Heights, MN 55113-5594 email: mail~ci.falcon-heights.mn.us website: www.ci.falcon-heights.mn.us MEMORANDUM August 29, 2003 To: Mayor Gehrz, Councilmembers Kuettel, Lamb, Lindstrom and Talbot From: Heather Worthington, City Administrator Re: 2004 Budget Workshop Phone - (651) 644-5050 Fax - (651) 644-8675 I have attached the following in preparation for the budget workshop next Wednesday, September 3rd at 6:00 p.m. in the Council chambers: • • 2004 General Fund Budget • Enterprise Fund Budget • Special Revenue Budget • 5 Year CIP Budget • Debt Service Budget I have also included Councilmember Lamb's Reserve Policy, which he e-mailed a few weeks ago. My understanding is that we will discuss the reserve policy first, and the budget second. I will also have a policy recommendation for you regazding the NE Quadrant hockey boards, which I discussed in my Friday Report. As you can see, the General Fund is approximately $137,000 in deficit. This is comprised of the $101,000 LGA cut, and about $36,000 in additional spending. The largest share of this additional spending is to staff anadministrative/clerical position to provide support to Mary and myself, as well as some general accounting assistance to Roland. We have had multiple discussions about the staffing needs internally, and it was finally decided that we should retain our current structure of a part-time Recreation Coordinator, and add a clerical staff position to assist the three of us. The primary reason • we did not combine these into one full-time job is that it would be more cost effective to hire two part-time persons; secondly, it would most likely be extremely difficult to find a HOME OF THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR AND THE U OF M INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE ~~~ PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
