Case #1 Summary of 1993 General Fund Budget Requests By: Sandra Ashley Helling, Finance Officer Background: At the Budget Meeting of August 11, 1992, staff presented a summary of personal service and capital outlay requests received for the 1993 budget. Tonight we are presenting the total expenditure requests received to ~his point. Attached: 1993 General Fund Budget Requests detailed by line item All General Fund Functions Total 1992 Amended Budget 1993 Requests more than 1992 Amended Budget $5,207,271 (2! 559; 7~7) $2, 647,534 Observations: The most significant 1993 request is from Public Works: Land for new public works facility $100,00 New public works facility ~ $2. 100,000 For comparing to 1993, subtracting this public works request from the total will gi~e a more realistic working number as to additional funds requested for general operating and non-facility capital request increases. Therefore, the 1993 Requests, less the P.W. facility, exceed the 1992 amended budget by: $547,534 21.3% Prior tO completing the individual sub-function worksheets and explanatory notes, staff would like to discuss the following specific topics or services: Public Works Facility What should staff be preparing for in the 1993 budget? 2 o Animal Control Should the City continue to pick up cats?
