an improvement in travel times starting in October on the following corridors: Northwest

Mayor Tate declared the public hearing open.
City Manager Roger Nelson stated the public hearing was being held pursuant to City
Charter requirements. He presented the $97 million budget for Fiscal Year 2003-2004. He
stated the budget represents the beginning of recovery from difficulties with regards to the
recession and the terrorist attack of 9/11. He stated there has been a growth in sales tax
and that property taxes are beginning to stabilize. He noted that in lieu of merit raises and
salary scale adjustments, the budget includes funding for a lump sum payment equal to
3% of an employee's salary, contingent upon available revenues after the beginning of
calendar year 2004. The general fund budget is $39,700,463.00 with a tax rate of $0.366
per $100.00 valuation, the same as last year's and shows $392,000.00 in revenues over
expenditures. The Debt Fund is healthy with $65,000.00 contributed to the fund balance.
He noted the Utility, Golf and Convention & Visitors Bureau Funds are beginning to recover
from the recession. As a result of these conditions, the FY2004 Budget follows the trend
of the last two years, with support for existing programs and little expansion to increased
service levels,
