DISCUSSION OF FY92 CITY BUDGET AS PRESENTED BY THE CITY
MANAGER: The engineering department ' s capital budget for
the FY92 budget - deletes $170 ,000 for replacing the lift
station at NTMWD. For every $1 .00 taken in, 21% of it goes
to pay debt service. We need to relocate utilities along
Hwy 78 if and when the highway is widened - the anticipated
cost for this is $100 ,000 . We need to have another water
storage tank in order to alleviate the low pressure problems
- cost approximated at $300 ,000 . The $910 ,000 in the
Landfill Fund is to close the landfill . The total proposed
FY92 budget is $7 ,374 ,000 . $7 ,374 ,000 less the $910 ,000 for
the landfill closure brings the figure down to $6,464 ,000
which is an increase over last year ' s (FY91 ) budget of
$200 ,000 - $300 ,000 . The growth in revenues will come from
increased sales tax revenue due to Brookshire' s. Impact
fees are expected to bring in an additional $60 ,000 in the
FY92 year .
It is anticipated that an additional $80 ,000 in revenues
will be received from Southfork Mobile Home Park in water ,
sewer and sanitation billings. City Manager Bill Dashner
stated that if closing of the landfill is more than $910 ,000
then we will have to come up with remaining funds. The
proposed FY92 budget includes 4 new positions - 3 paid full
time firefighters at a base salary of $20 ,000 and a
Lieutenant ' s position in the police department. The Council
recommended that these new positions be funded starting
January 1 , 1992 instead of October 1 , 1991 . Revenues, in
significant amounts, usually do not start coming in until
404
late December/early January. Another work session for the
budget was scheduled for September 10, 1991 after the regular
meeting at which time each Councilmember should bring their
list/suggestions for the FY92 Budget .
There being no other business for discussion, a motion was
made to adjourn at 9 :25 p.m.
