1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION OCTOBER 13, 1993 <br />the 1993 General Fund Budget is operating. He asked if there <br />will be any surpluses in any department that would allow the <br />purchase of a 1994 equipment request from the 1993 General Fund <br />Budget. Mr. Schumacher explained that this information will be <br />available after the December 1, 1993 Truth in Taxation public <br />hearing. He noted that any usual budget surpluse from each year <br />is added to the reserve which funds the operation of the City for <br />the first six (6) months of each year. Council Member Bergeson <br />said that maybe it would be possible to add to the reserve and <br />still fund something scheduled for 1994. Mr. Schumacher will <br />prepare a projection of year end surpluses. <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that the proposed 1994 Budget presented <br />today indicates that there would be a zero tax increase. The <br />City Council should now be thinking about making a decision <br />regarding whether or not to reduce the proposed 1994 Budget and <br />about the new requests for personnel and equipment. Priorities <br />should be listed and then a consensus reached on each item. <br />The next budget work session is scheduled for October 27, 1993. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Schumacher to prepare <br />information concerning space needs and proposed solution to the <br />shortage of space. <br />Police Chief Peechia will be present at the next budget work <br />session to answer questions regarding the Police Department <br />Budget. <br />The work session ended at 7:20 P.M. <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a <br />regular Council meeting held on December 13, 1993. <br />Marilyn G.
