He reviewed the changes as follows: Page 1, Ad Valorem has been changed to $761,310. The figure next to that, $955,820, represents two mills. $7,560 has been added to Building Permits making the figure $202,560;Zoning and annexations have been changed to $20,000; the bottom final figure $4,180,711 includes 35,514 as a result of all changes that were made. To the right is the figure that would be produced by two mills. On Page 4, the bottom line total is $6,125,855. Page 6, increased Fire Dept. equipment $15,000 for a computer; Page 8, Public Works Gas and Oil, took out $500 and added that to 5411 Dues and Registrations. L.C. 6350 Storm Water Management Reserves we discussed putting $15,000 there; Other Equipment is down $6500; the $15,000 above mentioned was taken out of the $178,000 and that is the final figure. For Equipment, the $15,000 was put in Storm Water Management and the rest on Page 19 Contingency, $2,114; Page 17, $4000 was added for teen dances; Page 18 $10,000 was added to Other Legal Services; On Page 18, $2500 for the promotional trip to Disney was added; and $2000 was added, Prom. Activities, for the Volunteer Boards Banquet to be held in October. The two mills will bring an additional $194,510. The Manager's salary proposal amounted to $114,405 plus $8,295 FICA, totalling $122,977; if you add the short fall plus insurance that comes to $179,000 which would leave $14,713 to be put in Contingency. There will be money spent on the senior center and the $15,000 will probably be en- cumbered for the Fire Station. The salary increase proposed was 7% for non-allocated personnel and 5% increase for the allocated personnel. Commissioner Trencher said the options before the Commission being presented are give no employees raises, or raise taxes and give employees raises. He said he would like a third option, give employee raises and cut some"fat"out of the budget and not raise taxes. Commissioner Hoffmann asked if the land acquisition and construction of the senior center is already allocated and the Manager answered those are monies in the present budget that will be encumbered and brought forward into this budget. Mr. Martin answered it would reduce the fund balance by encumbering those funds. . Commissioner Jacobs asked for a consensus for the 7% increase. Commissioners Jacobs and Kulbes were for the 7%. Commissioners Hoffmann and Kaehler wanted to be sure there were sufficient funds for the increase. Commissioner Trencher felt if we "sharpened our pencils" monies could be found for the increase without increasing taxes. . Workshop Meeting, City Commission, Aug. 29, 1988 There was discussion of alternative methods of increasing revenues such as impact fees, raising utility taxes and ad valorem taxes. Page 2 Manager and Staff are to reexamine the budget to cut costs, and come back with some alternative methods of raising additional funds.
