Q PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED FY 83-84 BUDGET . Dave Dorgan Budget
Q Director outlined the city wide budget totals : Net budget to-
tal $3 , 131 ,148 . 40 ; Revenues $2 ,835 ,000. 00 ; Projected Deficit
$296 ,148 . 00 . The Water & Sewer Fund , 39% of the overall budget
is for personnel . The general fund area , 32% of the total budget
is non personnel and the rest is for personnel . This reflects
the recent cuts we have taken .
Under the general fund , if you subtract out what the budget is
from the projected revenues and then add in the cash on hand ,
you ' ll find we had just under a$200 ,000. 00 deficit in the general
fund , budget versus income .
The budget was referred to the committee meeting on June 16th .
