<br /> ------------ -- <br /> I <br />To this baseline, a few known adjustments can be made to further refine the baseline. They ,- <br />include: <br />1. 1996 election costs - assume $9,500. <br />2. No further use ofintems, assume a reduction of ($25,450) (Planning $12,750 and I <br /> Economic Development $12,700). These adjustments reduce the non-capital baseline to <br /> $2,138,870. I <br />The 1995 budget process identified possible 1996 General Fund capital equipment spending <br />items as follows: I <br /> Department Item .em <br /> Administration Used Copier $8,000 I <br /> Govt. Bldgs. Repair Contingency 4,000 <br /> Planning & Zoning GIS System 30,000 <br /> Streets 1984 Ford Dump Truck (1/3) 26,700 I <br /> Streets 1992 Blacktop Roller 20,000 <br /> Streets Tripod Lift 1,000 <br /> Streets Mag Locator/Monitor 3,500 I <br /> Parks 1989314 Ton P.U. 20,000 <br /> Parks 1974 Trailer 3,500 I <br /> Parks Wood Chipper 25,000 <br /> Parks Mower, trimmer, chainsaw 1650 <br /> $141150 'I <br />Adding all of these unapproved capital items to the non-capital baseline yields preliminary 1996 <br />General Fund expenditures of $2,282,220. This amount represents a 4.61 % increase over the I <br />1995 budget. Assuming a targeted maximum increase 00.5%, there appears to be a preliminary <br />$25,000 overspending problem. The proposed Planning Department GIS System ($30,000) and <br />the Park Maintenance wood chipper ($25,000) capital items clearly warrant further review.
