MEMORANDUM

To:     Mike Wildgen

          City Manager

From: Debbie Van Saun

          Asst. City Manager

Re:     adjustments to 2006 City Manager’s Recommended Budget

          additional information requests

Date:  July 20, 2005

The following changes have been made to the 2006 City Manager’s Recommended Budget per direction received from the City Commission at the July 20, 2005 budget study session:

v Increase outside agency funding in General Overhead division of Finance Department by $4,000 for a 2006 Lawrence Birthday Celebration

v Increase outside agency funding in General Overhead division of Finance Department by $15,000 for City’s share of ECO2 Operating expenses

v Decrease transfers to reserve funds in Transfers division of Finance Department by $19,000

Because the net impact of these adjustments is $0, the total budget for the 2006 General Fund ($55,205,487) was not changed, nor was the mill levy (27.359) changed from what was proposed in the previous version of the 2006 City Manager’s Recommended Budget.

In response to questions posed by commissioners at the study session, the following additional information is provided:

v Staff memo regarding history and justification for Webmaster position

v Staff memo addressing questions about the proposed restructuring of the Neighborhood Resources Department (addition of Zoning Enforcement Manager position/conversion of Inspection Supervisor position to Plans Examiner position)

v Staff memo outlining total funding sources proposed for 2006 street maintenance program
