Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Commission Resolution No. 4060 – Appropriation Resolution for Fiscal
Year 2007-2008
MEETING DATE: August 27, 2007
BACKGROUND: On May 29, 2007 the Commission received the City Manager’s
Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 2007-2008. Since that time, the document has been
available at the Library, City Hall, and on the City’s website. Numerous workshops were
noticed and held to discuss specific budget issues during the past months, as well as many rate
and fee hearings associated with this budget proposal. This was also the first year our budget
workshops were broadcast via the public television station.
The official public hearing for the budget was opened on July 16, 2007 and continued to this
evening for final discussion and vote.
Appropriation Changes: Based on workshop and public meeting discussions, the
Appropriation Resolution has been prepared, and encompasses the following notable changes
from the City Manager’s Recommended Budget:
1. 2 FTE’s Police Officers, Uniforms/Equipment, and Training: A total of $134,400 has been
added to the Police Department budget so that two (2) more officers (including their uniforms,
24
personal equipment and training) can be added in FY08. This brings the total number of
additional police officers in FY08 to three (3) FTE’s.
2. 2 FTE’s Firefighters, Uniforms/Equipment, and Medical Testing: A total of $127,000 has
been added to the Fire Department budget so that two (2) more officers (including their uniforms,
personal equipment and medical testing) can be added in FY08. This brings the total number of
additional firefighters in FY08 to three (3) FTE’s.
Taxable Value: On Friday, August 17, the Department of Revenue certified to the City that the
value of one mill levied on all property in the city was $68,981. This was an increase of 9.1%
over last year’s value.
Tax Levy: The City’s tax levy will be 154.18 mills for FY2008. This is a 5.7% decrease from
the FY2007 levy of 163.42 mills. This decrease of 9.24 mills is the net effect of many factors,
including: the decrease of 9 mills related to the county-wide 911 Dispatch funding, debt service
levies decreasing, the value of new construction, and the inflationary factor allowed by law.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Commission Resolution No. 4060 – Appropriation
Resolution for Fiscal Year 2007-2008.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The fiscal effects of the annual Appropriation Resolution are far-
reaching; they are detailed in the City Manager’s Recommended Budget document and in the
Appropriation Resolution itself.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
