Memorandum <br /> <br /> <br />Date: June 24, 2020 <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> <br />Through: Mark R. Statz, City Administrator/City Engineer <br /> <br />From: Bruce DeJong, Finance Director <br /> <br />Item: 2021 General Fund Budget and Property Tax Levy Discussion <br /> <br />City staff are eager to discuss the General Fund budget for 2021 with the City Council in <br />July. In anticipation of that discussion, we are accumulating a number of known changes <br />to the budget. These changes take the form of signed contracts or outside agency changes <br />over which the city has little or no control. The items of which we are aware are shown <br />below with their impact on the budget. <br /> <br />As you can see in the table, there are a number of items that we do not have a handle on <br /> <br />In the coming month or so, we will go through the individual department budgets in <br />detail. We intend to incorporate prior year spending and make some additional estimates <br />of what needs to be budgeted for each line item. There will certainly be additional <br />changes as we proceed with the budget through the preliminary adoption in September. <br />The purpose of this discussion is to identify areas where the Council may wish to add or <br />subtract from the budget to fund or defund certain programs and services. <br /> <br /> <br />
