The State this year will fund 45% to 50% of this amount, however, next year he did not believe the State money win be available. The revised budget was approximately 5% less than last year.

He said department heads were asked to submit budgets which would operate their department at the same level as they had the previous year. Requests for new services were submitted separately the green sheets represent program changes. This Is probably the last year for the use of this type of format as 1n January a program or performance type budget 1s planned. The blue sheet 1n front of each of the departments breaks down the expenditures into four categories: Contractual, Personnel Services, Maintenance and Operation and Capital Outlay. This also shows the source of funds. In answer to Councilman White, Mr. Halloway said the Information distributed to Council July 21. 1978 Indicated the revised revenue figures and Includes $400,000 from Senate B111 154. He felt his estimate on property tax secured was low. They had taken the 1975-'76 assessed valuation and multiplied by four, coming up with the market valuation, took 1% of that and then took 8% which is our share of the total tax bin.
