Item -1
Public Hearing on Proposed FY2002-2003 Grand Island Area
Solid Waste Agency Budget.
At the beginning of fiscal year 2001-2002, the Solid Waste Agency instituted a change in how
trash was measured (changed from measuring by cubic yards to tonnage), which lowered the
amount of predicted revenue received from gate fees. These changes are reflected on the
revenue side of the fiscal year 2001-2002 budget with the revenue considerably below
expected expenditures. This situation required a rate increase to alleviate this reduction in
revenue.
The proposed budget for fiscal year 2002-2003 has incorporated the rate increase that takes
effect October 1, 2002. The rate increase will allow for the continued operation of the
Landfill and Transfer Station. It is appropriate to solicit public comment. The action item is
contained under 2002-SWA-2.

Item -5
Review of Proposed FY2002-2003 Annual Budget
Monday, August 12, 2002
Special Meeting
City of Grand Island
Staff Contact: Marlan Ferguson
City of Grand Island City Council
DATE: Friday, August 9, 2002
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator
RE: Budget Review
Enclosed is the agenda for the budget review. It has been revised slightly from last week, only in the order of
the presentation of the Budget Overview. Also enclosed is the list of Charitable Agencies and the Agencies
working in relationship with City Departments. We have listed them in Current Year Funding, their 2003
request and what is currently in the proposed budget. Although the proposed budget for the Dive and Rescue
Team has no funds, it is understood that you wanted to fund that amount and we could add that after you
approve the funding.
I again encourage you to spend some time on the General Fund Appropria tion Summary, which is about 6 pages
back of the General Fund tab. This is a new table, which breaks down each department in Personnel Services,
Operating Expenses, Capital Outlay, and Total. It also has 2001 actual and 2002 projected. This really tells the
story that we are holding the line with the only major changes in personnel services (salary and benefits
including Health Insurance) much of which is dictated by labor agreements. GASB has increased the Public
Works operating expenses by placing concrete repair into operation. These pages can be tied into the Capital
fund page and 400 fund. For review of each line item you can reference each department in that same section.
You will find some of the same information under the Enterprise Fund tab for those departments.
Remember the meeting starts at 5:30 on Monday.

FROM: Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator
RE: Schedule for Budget Work Sessions
The Budget Hearing for the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Proposed Budget will be held at the
special City Council meeting on Monday August 12, 2002. Development of this year’s
budget began with the Council Retreat in February followed by many discussions with
the Department Directors. The Council then began reviewing the proposed budget on
July 16th, 2002, with the outside agency review and discussion and review of the General
Fund Capital Projects, and the Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 400).
We have included an addendum to the draft of the Budget Document to add some items
that were left out or the numbers changed after they went to the printer, including
proposed changes from the Council. I would encourage you to spend a good deal of your
time in the General Fund section, specifically on the General Fund Appropriation
Summary which breaks down each department into Personnel Services, Operating
Expenses and Capital Outlay.
In June 1999, the Government Accounting Standards Boards (GASB) issued
Pronouncement Number 34 known as GASB 34. This has caused some major changes in
the financial reporting, which we will need to review as part of the budget process.
Below is a proposed schedule for the presentation of the budget and the subsequent
budget workshops. Note we will begin with the Public Hearing at 5:30.
Monday, August 12, 2002 – 5:30 p.m.
1. Opening Comments
2. Budget Overview
a. GASB 34
b. Current Lid Computations
c. Mill Levy/Property Tax Asking
d. Revenue/Expenditure Analysis
e. Operating Cash Analysis
f. General Fund Summary
3. Police Department General Fund
4. Public Works
5. Fire Services/Emergency Medical Services
6. Parks and Recreation
Tuesday August 13, 2002 – Following the Regular Council Meeting
1. Utilities
2. Other Departments
Wednesday, August 14, 20021 – 5:30 p.m.
1. Departmental Reviews as Requested
2. Review Changes and Finalize
As was the case last year, we do not anticipate a line item process, but rather a focus on
major budgetary changes, revenues, capital and bonding issues.
If, after review of the budget document, there are specific departmental questions, please
provide a listing of those questions and we will attempt to have the answers to your prior
to the work sessions.
Marlan V. Ferguson, City Administrator
