ITEM 1 WORKSHOP, PROPOSED 1992-1993 BUDGET
Interim City Manager Trent Petty continued the budget workshop by
review of the Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) budget which
includes the Convention Center and Historic Preservation and
Cultural Affairs. Hotel/motel taxes are anticipated to increase
almost 6� in FY93 allowing the CVB to project expenditures at
$2, 163,286. 00.
The Utility Fund reflects a 15o water rate increase and a 5� rate
increase for wastewater service due to the increased cost for water
and wastewater service from the Trinity River Authority. The rate
increase will result in the average resident paying $1.76 more per
month for water and $.80 a month more for wastewater.
In the Debt Service Fund, bond interest and principal payments will
increase by 10$ in FY93 , which reflects payments for bonds sold in
January 1992 and the first installment for the bonds to be sold in
08/13/92
September 1992 . The impact of the increase has been offset by
transferring $1, 050, 000. 00 of interest earnings on bonds previously
sold which enables the tax rate to remain the same. The refunding
of bonds in January 1992 reduced payments by $175, 000. 00 in FY92
and by $76, 000. 00 in FY93 and will continue to have a similar
affect over the life of the refunded bonds.
The Golf Fund reflects significant changes for FY93 with the entire
operation of the course by City employees (formerly contract) and
the acquisition of all capital equipment and items associated with
the change. The operating budget contains $195, 000. 00 of capital
purchases for the acquisition of 62 golf carts; $35, 000. 00 for cart
trail repairs and $2, 000. 00 for irrigation expansion. The proposed
green fees increase, as well as acquisition and management of the
golf carts, will result in significant revenue increases in the
Golf Fund which will allow other improvements to the Golf Course.
Mr. Petty reported personnel benefit costs are anticipated to
increase up to 45� due to group health, life and dental insurance.
The City is currently reviewing options in an effort to reduce the
costs and still provide adequate insurance for employees. He then
briefly reviewed the proposed capital projects for FY93 .
NOTE: Council Member Wickman left the meeting at this time.
Finance Director Larry Koonce reported the proposed budget reduced
265 accounts in the amount of $1.5 million and increased 286
accounts in the amount of $1.7 million. Mr. Petty noted the
$1 million reduction had been returned to the budget, representing
additional funds available for beneficial services to the
community.
The City Council commended Staff for the preparation of the
proposed budget, and it was the consensus of the Council to cancel
the budget workshops scheduled for August 19 and 20, 1992 .
