ITEM 1. DISCUSS 2011 BUDGET MAJOR ISSUES REPORT
�;ity Manag�, Bruno Rumbelow gave an overview of the 2011 Budget Major Issues noting
the recession hu� caused a decline in revenues for the current fiscal year. Sales tax, the
major rsvenue source for the General Fund, the Crime Control and Prevention Fund and
the �B `conoc?mic Development Fund, has been erratic in its monthly collections and the
overall trend �s �ieclining for the year. Through strict management of the current budget, it
is p�ojQcted ±hat the City will end the current fiscal year with a 20% fund balance intact in
the CLr��:r°al Fund.
Mr. Rumbelow stated the proposed budget was prepared with the expectation that the
recession will continue through 2011 and that sales tax revenue will remain stagnant.
Staffing will remain at its current level with the exception of the Convention & Visitors
Bureau and continued attrition reviews without sacrificing service levels. There are no cost
of living or merit increases for employees included in the budget and the City will continue
to monitor the market comparisons with other cities. Major capital equipment and
technology requests were kept at a minimum, only addressing critical needs and continuing
with the philosophy of"pay as you go". Mr. Rumbelow stated the proposed budget is$1.9
million less than the current year's budget, yet maintains the 20%fund balance, Permanent
07/13/10
Capital Maintenance Fund, and Permanent Street Maintenance Fund along with limited
fleet and technology replacements.
Mr. Rumbelow led discussion of the proposals forthe General Fund, Convention&Visitors
Bureau Fund, Crime Control and Prevention District Fund, Utilities Enterprise Fund, Lake
Park Special Fund and Lake Enterprise Fund.
Discussion ensued relative to Grapevine at build-out as the areas for new development
continues to decrease. As build-out occurs and the economy begins to recover from the
recession, rethinking of budgetary trends and allocation may be required. In order to
prepare for the future, Staff will conduct a comprehensive study reviewing current
personnel and facility needs expected over the next five years.
There was no formal action taken by the City Council.
