MID-YEAR Administrative Services Director Jim Dale presented the mid-year budget review, Mr,
FINANCIAL Dale stated that staff sees some positive things in the budget; the economy continues to
REVIEW show strong growth with low inflation, interest rates are at or near historic lows, the
unemployment rate is at a thirty year low and equity stock prices are at historic highs.
The February 2, 1999 staff report included a summary schedule of revenues and
expenditures for the General Fund through December 1998, and projections through the
end of the Fiscal Year,
Reviewing expenditures Mr. Dale stated, in part, that based on overall mid-year results,
total General Fund expenditures appear to be on track, Some savings will be realized in
the area of salaries and benefits due in large part to staff turn-over, As positions are
vacated, there is usually a lag time before replacement, and the new employee starts at
a low entry-level salary resulting in salary savings. Also, projecting that Development
Services will be over budget at year-end by nearly six percent (6%). This over bUdget
variance is the direct result of the volume of work resulting from an increase in building
related activities (outside plan check services) and is off-set by a corresponding increase
in revenues from plan check and permit fees,
Total General fund expenditures budgeted for the current Fiscal Year are $25,586,120
with a current annual estimate amounting to $25,511,760 for a projected savings of
$74,360,00,
Summarizing revenues Mr, Dale stated, in part, that revenues from property taxes will
amount to approximately $4,3 million, which is $100,000 above last years actual receipt
but $150.000 less than originally projected; the projection for sales taxes suggests that
receipts for the fiscal year will come nearly 4% above the original budgeted estimate
(this does not include the Christmas Holiday season since this information is not
available until the end of April 1999); Transient Occupancy Taxes (Bed Taxes) for the
212199

current year are significantly ahead of receipts as of December 1997; utility tax receipts
appear to be on track; revenue from Motor Vehicle In-Lieu fees will exceed by $100,000.
The building industry is again strong and staff are projecting that between plan check, I
building fees and building permits, revenues for 1998-99 will exceed original estimates
by nearly $330,000,
At this point, total budgeted General Fund revenues and transfers from other funds for
the current Fiscal Year are $25,737,620 with current estimate at mid-year amounting to
$26.219,420, This represent an increase of $481 ,800 or nearly 2%,
City Manager Kelly stated the State budget is balanced this year. there is a surplus,
however. for next year the state is predicting a deficit budget. We are assuming the
state will not lake any money away from the City nor give the City money, The proposed
budget will be presented to Council in April.
