The City Council scheduled tonight's meeting for 6:00 PM, as the first of three open hearings on the review of the City's proposed 1990 general fund and utilities budget. The budget prepared by the City staff reflects a 7; increase in spending from the City's 1989 budget of $870,966. The staff is projecting revenues of $919,667 in 1990, which is up approximately 5.6% from the current year'=_. projection. The proposed budget is not balanced, as submitted to the Council, and will either have to be cut. approximately $13,000 in expenditures or increased by the same amount in revenues. The overall. tax Levy increase of 9 1/2%, as proposed, is somewhat misleading in that this increase includes homestead credit paid by the State of Minnesota. The ad valorem tax levy, as reflected in the revenue budget, is as follows: 1.. $374,4e5 tax Levy for the general fund. 2. $137,782.25 c ..7 , 7 8.�.2_� for long-term debt. 3. $1647041. Homestead credit not paid in property taxes. Budget highlights include a sealcoat.ing program for downtown streets., a doubling of the City's gravel budget, funding for recodi.fication of the City's codes, computer software, supplies for a central filing system, and acquisition of a new water --well site. In rebudgeted funds for special projects, City staff included $1.90,000 for new road construction and approximately $70,000 for a water management study, both of which were funded in previous ye=ars..
