1990 BUDGET REVIEW
The second in a series of budget hearings was held this evening to discuss
modifications to the proposed 1990 City budget. Previously, the City
Council discussed projected revenues and possible adjustments, as well as
some expenditure reductions. The City has been advised to delay our
October 2nd budget approval deadline to a later date so that we can see
what the legislature is going to do in a special session scheduled for
later this month. In light of the fact that the required publication
under Truth in Taxation will cost between $400 and $500, City staff does
not want to have to publish this notice twice, so we will be looking at
final budget approval on October 16th rather than October 2nd.
The City Council requested that letters be sent to the following
organizations regarding future increases for services provided to the City
of Hugo: Forest Lake Youth Service Bureau, White Bear Counseling, and the
City of White Bear Lake for paramedic training. City Administrator, Ken
Huber, will prepare an ordinance for possible adoption, to increase
compensation for the Mayor and City Council effective 1/1/91.
The City Council made the following changes in the previously submitted
1990 budget:
1. Item 32210 - Increase revenue by $2,000.
2. Item 36220 - Increase revenue by $1,200.
3. Item 41110-151 - Increase expense by $300.
4. Item 41400-201 - Reduce expense by $500.
5. Item 41400-104 - Adjust 19B9 expenditure to $2,750.
6. Item 41520-514 - Reduce expense by $3,000.
