Item Summary
This is the second reading of the ordinance adopting the City’s FY 2021-22 Operating Budget and Capital Program. The budget ordinance must be considered prior to consideration of the tax rate. This ordinance incorporates the operating and capital budgets that have been proposed by the City Manager. The property tax rate proposed by the City Council is $0.523230 per $100 valuation. The following changes that impact the FY 2021-22 Proposed Operating Budget and Capital Program have occurred since the proposed budget was filed on August 12, 2021:
Water/Wastewater Fund
Increase Water/Wastewater use of Excess Reserves (Revenue) by $42,019 and increase the Transfer to LP&L for Citizens Tower Debt (Expenses) by $42,019. This change is to correct the amount of the transfer.
Storm Water Fund
Increase Storm Water Professional Services (Expenses) by $4,200 and increase the Storm Water Use of Excess Reserves (Revenue) by $4,200. Another drainage basin was added to the areas that Storm Water maintains after the Proposed Budget was filed so an increase in the budget is necessary to cover the additional cost.
Telecommunication
Increase Telecommunication Use of Excess Reserves (Revenue) by $9,961. This change is to correct the amount of excess reserves that will be used in FY 2021-22 due to an error in the original calculation.
GIS and Data Services
Increase GIS and Data Services Use of Excess Reserves (Revenue) by $36,511. This change is to correct the amount of excess reserves that will be used in FY 2021-22 due to an error in the original calculation.
Risk Management
Increase Risk Management Use of Excess Reserves (Revenue) by $444,523 and increase Property Premiums (Expenses) by $335,523.37 and Liability Premiums (Expenses) by $109,000. The final amounts on property and liability premiums are higher than the projection included in the budget.
