CASE # 3 <br /> <br />By: <br /> <br /> General Fund Budget Status <br />Sandra Ashley Helling, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Thc General Fund Interim Financial Report for the period ended 03/31/91 has been included <br />on the Consent Agenda. As noted on the last page of this report and my memo of March 25, <br />1991, in all likelihood the City of Ramsey will have a shortfall in LGA revenue of $70,664. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />While reducing expenditures has been the focal point of many discussions, there are other <br />revenue items in the 1991 budget that also need review. I would like to point out that <br />revenue to be generated by our Engineering Department was included as follows: <br /> <br />MAS Inspection and Staking <br />Engineering time - private projects <br /> 1991 Engineering Revenue <br /> <br />$30,380 <br /> 91,520 <br />$121,900 <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the Budget Committee schedule the next meeting specifically to <br />review revenue items and the City's rates, fees and charges. Currently department heads and <br />supervisors are not authorizing purchase of capital items budgeted except to the extent such <br />item(s) have received specific council approval in 1991, and funded but not filled positions <br />are on hold. Therefore, the expenditure side of the ledger is basically on hold for all but <br />necessary activities. <br /> <br />To provide meaningful information regarding expenditure cuts, the revenue side should first <br />be reviewed and modified as necessary. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br />Based on discussion. <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrative Coordinator <br />City Engineer <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />Personnel Coordinator <br />Police Chief <br />Public Works Supervisor <br /> <br />Budget Committee Meeting Scheduled for April 23, 1991 <br /> <br /> <br />
