V. NEW BUSINESS
A. PRESENTATION of the Manager's Proposed Budget for Fiscal
Year 1977-78.
Mr. Bouman reviewed the proposed budget for the benefit of
Council and the audience. He pointed out that the budget
provided for an increase in the level of service activity
in all areas, particularly those which provided direct
services to the public. The Capital Improvement Program
is geared to the City's primary facility needs, namely
streets, drainage, and parks, and the revenues to fund
these programs are adequate. He stressed that there was
again NO City property tax.
He continued by reviewing Anticipated Beginning Balance of
the proposed budget ($1,101,600), Anticipated Revenues
($2,005,945), Estimated Operating Expenditures ($1,550,311),
Estimated Capital Improvements ($508,300), Unallocated Con-
tingency Reserve ($32,763), and he explained how they com-
pared to the same categories of the current fiscal year
budget.
Mr. Bouman noted that a Manager's Use Hearing had been held
on June 6, 1977, at 5:00 p.m. in Council Chambers wherein
the proposed expenditures of Federal Revenue Sharing monies
had been discussed. Mr. Bouman concluded by thanking all
the members of the Staff who had contributed countless hours
to the 1977-78 Budget preparation, particularly Mr. Paul
Byers, Mr. Larry McAllister, Mr. Carlos Ortega, and Mr. Les
Pricer.
Mayor Mullins and all members of the Council complimented
Mr. Bouman on the excellent job done on the budget, noting
that this was the first time the City had had the budget
in order for adoption before the beginning of the next
fiscal year.
