MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />NOVEMBER 12, 1991 <br />in 1991. Therefore, projected 1992 Licenses and Permit <br />revenues have been adjusted downward. Local Government <br />Aids have been decreasing over the last few years. The <br />Administrator reported that the City has been informed <br />that its LGA allocation for 1992 will be $64,140. That <br />is the figure that has been used in the Budget, <br />however, the Administrator pointed out the possibility <br />that the City may not receive this entire amount if <br />there is another budget shortfall at the State level. <br />The Administrator continued his review of projected <br />revenues and stated that he anticipates less revenue <br />from interest earnings during 1992. The Administrator <br />also noted that revenues budgeted from Fines & Forfeits <br />will offset the City's cost to the Sheriff's Department <br />for traffic patrol estimated at $10,630. <br />Hanson asked if the revenue estimates were conservative <br />ones. <br />The Administrator replied that the estimates were <br />conservative, but not vastly so. The Administrator <br />reported that he tried to be somewhat conservative in <br />estimating revenues, and somewhat liberal in estimating <br />expenses. <br />The Administrator pointed out on page 45 of the Budget <br />document that there is anticipated to be a 1991 Budget <br />excess of $22,922 and a 1992 Budget deficiency of <br />$144,868. Therefore, reductions must be made to the <br />proposed 1992 Budget. The Administrator reviewed in <br />detail his memo dated November 12th included on pages <br />46 and 47 of the Budget document which outlines some <br />items for Council's consideration in dealing with the <br />deficiency. The Administrator also pointed out he <br />should have suggested charging Errors & Omissions <br />insurance coverage on the basis of 1/3 to the Sewer <br />Budget, 1/3 to the water Budget, and 1/3 to the General <br />Fund Budget. Currently the cost of E& O coverage is <br />supported entirely by the General Fund Budget. This <br />would reduce General Fund expense by $5,427, <br />The Administrator began a detailed review of General <br />Fund Expenditures proposed for 1992, beginning with the <br />Mayor & Council category. 1991 Budget for this <br />Page 2 <br />
