ITEM 1. DISCUSS 2013 BUDGET MAJOR ISSUES REPORT
City Manager Bruno Rumbelow gave an overview of the 2013 Budget Major Issues noting
that Grapevine has fared better than most through the economic downturn. The City
Council had exceptional foresight during these years to recognize the need to develop new
attractions, as well as bring additional retail establishments to the City. Also, Council
adopted conservative fiscal policies that allowed for not only sound budget management,
but economic development programs for growth and expansion. Staff continually
monitored both revenues and expenditures in an effort to insure these fiscal policies are
met.
Administrative Services Director John McGrane reported the proposed budget keeps the
Ad Valorem tax rate at $.3480 per $100 valuation. He noted due to the recession and
highway construction projects, monthly sales tax collections have fluctuated and Staff is
projecting flat growth for the remainder of the fiscal year. The staffing study conducted this
year identified areas where positions were needed and the proposed budget attempts to
address these needs, and includes merit and step increases.
07/25/12
. McGrane stated most funds will meet or exceed the recommended fund balance
reserves. The proposed budget incorporates cash funding for Equipment and Technology
Fund, Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund and Permanent Street Maintenance Fund
projects except for the funding of the Bronto fire truck, Crime Control and Prevention
District capital items and Golf Course replacement equipment.
Mr. McGrane led discussion of the proposals for the General Fund, Quality of Life Fund,
