Meeting:June 19, 2018
Subject:FY 2019 Budget Discussion
Presenter(s):Marlan Ferguson, City Administrator
William Clingman, Interim Finance Director
Background
On June 12, 2018 the City Council passed a resolution approving a balanced budget for
the general fund. In order to do this it was estimated that the base 2018 budget plus 2%
increase would be allowed. The administration has been meeting with the Department
Directors on their proposed budgets.
Discussion
Several budget sessions have been scheduled for the City Council to review and have
input on the FY 2019 Budget. Tonight’s budget session will be to review the overall
general fund budget which has been proposed by the Department Directors, while
keeping in mind the balanced budget resolution. We will also discuss the estimated
revenues for FY 2019 and have further discussion on the balanced budget spreadsheet
and pie chart. The non-departmental fund and transfers out will be discussed in more
detail. Finally a discussion will be held in regards to utilizing Food and Beverage Tax
dollar fund for the maintenance on the new ballfields being funded by said fund.
Conclusion
This item is presented to the City Council in a Study Session to allow for open
discussion. No action will be taken at this meeting; however some general direction to
staff would be appropriate.
