City Clerk Herget told the Council that at the beginning of the
last budget workshop the City had a proposed deficit of $41,817. That
figure did not include the Fire Dept. or the Industrial Advisory
Board's budgets. He met with the department heads and the coordinators
and went over the individual budaets. The $41.817 deficit was deoleted
and the came out with a $4,622 revenue balance. In addition, the'
City received notice about CETA funds which brouqht the revenue balance
to $29,969. The Fire Dept. has submitted a proposed budget of
$72,737 and the Industrial Board submitted a budqet for $10,000.
Adding these figures to the General Fund we now have an anticipated
deficit of $52,268. He made some suggestions to the Council for
increasing revenues by possibly raising license fees, dog tags, and
charging for Garage Sales. We could bring our license fees in line
with New Smyrna Beach, also our dog taqs and we have found out that
New Smyrna and other cities charge for garage sale permits. This
could result in a possible revenue increase of from $1500 to $2000.
The Council considered budgets presented for General Fund. They
discussed the budgets for City Council, Finance and Administration,
City Hall, Comprehensive Planning, Civil nefense, Fire Dept. Police
Dept. and E.V.E.R.
The Council added $500 to the E,V.E.R. budget.
There was some discussion about extra funds for Civil Defense, There
is presently nothing budgeted for emergency situations.
There were no changes made to any proposed budgets at this workshop.
The Council agreed to meet Saturday morning at 9:00 a,m. in City Hall
for another budget meeting.
The workshop was adjourned.
