He explained that the benefits of two year budgeting are significant. The time required for budget preparation is reduced and each department is required to look beyond one year and give the Council a better feel for what it can and cannot afford. The budget is intended to be a flexible expenditure plan with mechanisms that will insure flexibility through periodic budget reviews and budget amendments. The proposed City operating Budget for FY 89 is $12/976,200,a 5.4% decrease over FY 88 and for FY 90 $13,408/200, a 3.3% increase over FY'89. The proposed redevelopment appropriations are $3,879,500 for FY 89 and $1,743,000 for FY 90. Housing Authority will be $3,619,000 and $4,166,800; for Capital Improvement $3,046,300 and $931,600. He outlined the various programs that would be implemented in the departments and gave a brief description of each as they are presented in the introduction of the Preliminary Budget letter. He explained that balancing the budget was difficult and that the City must absorb a shortfall of $950,00 from loss of the utility tax. Tax base improvements have been brought about by redevelopment programs. The budget relies heavily on an optimistic forecast of the economy and the current indications are that the economy will be relatively stable. Council discussed the general fund contingency reserves of 8% and inquired about the policy in regard to rolling stock" and the success and savings through the rehabilitation of vehicles. Inquiries were made in regard to improving communications to the community, the implementation of a volunteer program for certain services, the zero cost of the ambulance program, and the Animal Control program.

He explained how these funds are allocated to the chamber and how general fund support can be replaced with AB 1693 funds since the City is realizing a larger fund balance than expected. He stated that Account 81 would reflect this funding as Business Promotion Services". City Manager Webb also responded that the City Council Budget did reflect a reduction in 1990 because the team building workshop will not be an item in that year as it is in 1989 for Councilmembers. Council discussed the remuneration received by the council and the many costs that are incurred by members as representatives to assigned committees. They requested that this be researched for a possible change to be effective in 1990.
