COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM 603 Consent Information Public Hearinl!; Rel!;ular X October 22,2007 Meeting MGR yr/IDEPT. Authorization REQUEST: The City Manager is requesting that the City Commission make budget determinations regarding the General Fund's $330,495 budgeted appropriation to fund balance for the fiscal year 2007-2008 as well as the $3,271,605 General Fund designation for non-recurring special capital projects for Fiscal Year 2007-2008. PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to have the Commission make budget determinations regarding the General Fund's $330,495 budgeted appropriation to fund balance for the fiscal year 2007-2008. Also up for discussion, is the $3,271,605 that has been earmarked for non-recurring special capital projects. CONSIDERATIONS: The 2007-2008 final budget that was adopted by Resolution 2007-44 on September 24, 2007 (Public Hearing 501) included a General Fund appropriation TO fund balance of $330,495. Furthermore, the adopted General Fund budget designated $3,271,605 of fund balance for non- recurring special capital projects. Attachment A reflects these and other key fiscal indicators relative to the General Fund. Attachment B represents a list of considerations for both the $330,495 General Fund appropriation and the unspecified capital project designation of $3,271 ,605. RECOMMENDATION: · Because further tax reform legislation is an unknown variable, it is recommended that any decisions to increase the City's recurring operating costs be done so with fiscal conservatism. · It is my recommendation that the Planner for the Community Development department be the highest priority item for recurring expenses. . It is recommended that the $3,271,605 capital projects reserve be reserved for projects that we would not want to take to referendum. 102207_ COMM _Regular _603 _2007 -2008_ Budget_ Considerations.doc IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: Upon approval, the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 budget would be revised to reflect the Commission's directives.
