Zi EUDGET
22 An overview of the budget was presented by City Manager, John Scharer. Council was
23 advised that there are no provisions in the 93/94 budget for replacing Capital Equipment.
24 There continues to be a hiring freeze on 10 vacant positions plus five retirement positions
zs that will be absorbed within the existing work force. The non-represented employees did
i6 not receive a salary increase for the second year and that all three bargaining units will be
z~ negotiating next year during the 1994/95 budget sessions. This year the City lost
Zs approximately $651,000 from the General Fund to the State of California. The 1993/94
29 budget is balanced due to the one time money passed on to local governments by the State
3o allocating a portion of the sales tax for six (6) months.
31 Finance Director, David Spilman advised Council that the budget was further balanced by
32 increasing certain Revenues to the General Fund such as transferring funds from TOT,
33 In addition to the 1/2G sales tax the City also received approximately $203,000 from an
34 unknown reserve in the State Department of Motor Vehicles. We are also using another
3s one time source to balance the budget, that being $337,500 from the delinquent Property
36 Tax paid back from the County.
37 The City is also proposing an increase in the Real Property Transfer Tax from $1.15 per
3s thousand to $2.00 per thousand. This increase is scheduled to bring in $242,000.
