CORPORATION PROPOSED ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AND
RECOMMEND ADOPTION
APPROVED
Mr. Richard Torres, Assistant City Manager, highlighted the proposed 2004-05 budget.
The proposed budget for 2004-05 is $$4,479,305 and the revised budget for 2003-04 is
$4,464,138. The proposed budget includes two service enhancements - 1) the addition of
four parks maintenance workers to support the growth of the park system and 2) the use of
Development Corporation 4B sales tax to create an "Economic Development Incentive
Fund." The City will have added 152 acres of developed park land by the end of the fiscal
year, representing a 30% increase in developed park land maintained by parks
maintenance staff. There are no specific plans for the Economic Development Incentive
Fund. The Fund can be used in the future to participate in economic development
projects. Staff will draft a policy to present to City Council that will establish guidelines for
the use of the funds in accordance with state law and provide for incremental funding each
year from 4B sales tax revenue.
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS MOVED, SECONDED BY MR. HAYNES, TO APPROVE FDC 2004-001,
RECOMMENDING THE ADOPTION OF THE REVISED 2003-04 AND PROPOSED 2004-05 ANNUAL
OPERATING BUDGET WITH SERVICE ENHANCEMENTS TO COUNCIL.
