Staff prepares a base budget <br />and each department includes buffers to protect against unknowns. Other <br />items are line items that are specifically scrutinized. The general fund <br />budget also includes buffers. Care needs to be taken, there has to be <br />some kind of fund balance for the city to run off because a city only <br />receives it's revenues twice a year. <br /> <br />CC/October 20, 1983 <br />..] .?.~-~;~e 1 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
