(b) Adoption of Resolution approving the Operating Budget and Capital
Igrovement Program for Fiscal Year 1988 -89.

The total recommended appropriations for all funds is $29,232,902. This
reflects a 6.6% increase cxcnared to the 1987 -88 budget. The General Furl

Manager Sorsabal continued by stating that of the total recommended General
Fled appropriations, 89.4% were identified with direct service, legislative,
administrative, or support activities. Total expenditures for Police, Fire,
Recreation & Parks and Building Safety represent over 66.8% of the
recommended budget. They reflect high levels of service and activity.
Manager Sorsabal announced that four new positions were reconnerded: (1)
Personnel Analyst to provide the Personnel Department with additional
assistance that is needed to perform the bx -jatic s of that office; (1)
Systems operator who will relieve the Finance Department of routine data
processing operations which currently are performed at below average levels,
at additional cost to the city in overtime or not completed at all; and (2)
Part -Time Clerk- Typists who are greatly needed in the City Manager's office
and in the Planning Department to perform tasks that are necessary for the
operation of city business.
This budget is presented to Council with revenues and expenditures
substantially in balance concluded Manager Sorsabal, however, this has been
achieved only by mn.Spmding transfers from the General Fwd to the Workers'
Compensation and Equipment Replacement Fund and by transferring funds into
the roner;,l Fund from the Capital Improvement and Gas Tax Funds. This might
be viewed as a deferment of expenditures but overall this budget represents
a workable plan for the 1988/89 Fiscal Year and the City would continue at
its current level of service.
1. Jim Coronas. 519 D. Center expressed concern regarding the recent
approval of the library expansion and urged Council to -abandon the idea of

3. Gary Shultz. 227 E. Oak asked if the City was in deficit .spending last
year. Mr. Shultz questioned the new positions and expenses for the fiscal
budget if revenues are expected to decrease.
Mayor Pro Tem Dannen asked if the City Manager would provide background as
to why this budget needs to be approved as it stands.
City Manager Sorsabal stated this is a line item budget and is legally and
technically balanced. There are certain restricted funds that can only be
used for related bills, they are post reimbursable items. This is simply a
guide for financial and technical planning.
Council discussion ensued regarding the Ikuxlerfi„rling" of the workman's
campen>rsation fund and the possibility of revenue enhancement projects.
Councilman Clutter expressed concern regarding the ccmmitmelt of Council to
work toward taking care of the deficit now, not in the distance future.

guidelines for enhancing city revenue.
