There has been a reduction in construction during 2006, which has <br />impacted revenues taken in for building permits. He commented that suggestions have been <br />made for ideas of how to resolve this. He suggested a budget amendment may be needed. <br />Finance Officer Lund reviewed the number of units anticipated to be built in 2006. She <br />reviewed the general fund and that because of how the fund is set up they are double dipping into <br />it. She reviewed capitol equipment certificates. She commented on the influx of expenditures. <br />She suggested a funds transfer would help in the future.

He <br />stated this would affect the yearend budget amendment and added the budget is from the <br />department heads. <br />Councilmember Elvig supported looking over the budget mid year. He appreciates staff coming <br />up with $300,000. He suggested looking at 2007.
