The squad cars are more expensive than expected. The levy which results in a tax <br />increase was passed on a higher level than we thought we would need. What this says is <br />we need to cut something to balance the budget at this lower level. To get down to a level <br />where we don't have an increase at all for the City's portion would be $78,000. <br /> <br />Administrative Services McAloney inquired how close we are with revenues. <br /> <br />Finance Officer Hart stated we are estimating very conservatively. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that one of our revenues is the building permits but we are looking at <br />it more and more conservatively. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos asked about the carry-over from 1994. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney asked about rates and charges and how much that would impact the budget. <br />Ms. Hart replied little or none. <br /> <br />Police Chief Auspos suggested leaving it at the original amount and coming up with <br />$1,700. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder asked where that money would come from. <br /> <br />Chief Auspos stated that Mr. Boos just touched on the subject of the 1994 budget. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated he did not think that's a good public policy. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart agreed. She felt that $1,700 could be recouped from the Equipment Replacement <br />Fund but for that fund to get where it needs to be, we need to fund it 100 percent. <br /> <br />Staff Budget Meeting/November 18, 1994 <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
