Council Member Kuether asked if the decrease in Resolution No. 96 - 13 means that those dollars will be returned to General Fund. Mr. Tesch explained that this is a matter of coding. Council Member Kuether asked if the decrease is the dollars left over after the year ended. Mr. Tesch said yes. Council Member Kuether said it appears that dollars are "slushing" around in that budget.
