Arak i <br /> Chair <br /> RE: Bill No. 237, Draft 2 <br /> Operating Budget <br /> Bill No. 237, Draft 2 contains revenues to be generated by the fuel tax increase of 6 cents with <br /> conesponding expenditures. Since the fuel tax increase has been postponed indefinitely, the <br /> operating budget should be adjusted accordingly. <br /> This amendment establishes a status quo budget by decreasing the Fuel Tax Revenues by <br /> $4,905,155 to $4,045,449. Please be aware that the original $5,202,000 figure includes an <br /> anticipated projected increase even if the fuel tax did not pass according to the Department of <br /> Public Works. Therefore, the total $5,202,000 has not been eliminated. The adjustments <br /> include: (1) the deletion of new positions, (2) unfunding of positions previously established and <br /> not funded, (3) adjusting related General Fund employee fringe benefit accounts, (4) reducing <br /> Other Current Expenses (OCE) in Traffic and various Road Maintenance accounts, (5) reducing <br /> funds in Highway's Equipment account for vehicles, boom mowers and mobile radios, (6) <br /> reducing monies in Highway's Mass Transit OCE account, and (7) decreasing the funds <br /> transferred to Capital Projects Fund. <br /> Should the Council approve arevenue-generating source, the appropriate budget deliberations on <br /> expenditures and personnel can occur at that time. <br /> The attached table provides the specific recommended budget adjustments: <br /> Comm.
