101 <br /> <br /> MINIFEES <br /> OF <br /> THE <br /> MEETING <br /> OF <br /> THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> June 23, 1992 <br /> <br />1. CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br /> Mayor Kenneth R. Mercer called the Special Meeting of the City <br /> Council to order at 6:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> 2. ROLL CALL <br /> <br /> Acting City Clerk Sandra L. LeGate called the roll, which is <br />recorded as follows: Councilmembers Robert E. Butler, Karin Mohr, <br />Dorothy N. Scribner, Ben Tarvet, and Mayor Kenneth R. Mercer. <br />Staff members present were: Deborah Acosta, City Manager; Michael <br />H. Roush, City Attorney; Brian W. Swift, Director of Planning and <br />Community Development; Joseph Elliott, Director of Public Works and <br />Utilities; Dolores Bengtson, Director of Parks and Community <br />Services; Susan Rossi, Director of Finance. <br /> <br />3. WORKSHOP TO REVIEW 1992-93 OPERATING BUDGET <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta presented the budget to Council. She explained <br />that staff continues to make changes annually to make this document <br />easy to read and understand. She explained the process taken to <br />develop the budget package. A number of representatives from each <br />of the other departments were involved in the budget process to <br />form a budget panel. The panel became budget analysts and reviewed <br />the proposals. Ms. Acosta thanked Steve Bocian, Chris Sherwood, <br />Sue Rossi and Kim Bond for the time and hard work for the budget. <br /> <br /> For the second year in a row, this year's budget has "good <br />news/bad news". She explained that because of the prudent <br />financial policy that the Council had adopted two years ago, staff <br />was able to bring to Council a status quo budget. The City will be <br />able to bring the same level of service to the community, which is <br />difficult to do because positions have been frozen for the past two <br />years. Two million dollars had been set aside in anticipation of <br />a serious financial take-back from the state as it balances its <br />budget. A budget of $57.3 million in revenue and $57.3 in total <br />overall expenses was presented but the general fund represents <br />about $32 million of that. New positions will continue to be <br />frozen for this year. <br /> <br />6/23/92 I <br /> <br /> <br />
