Date: December 392003 <br />To: City Council Members <br />Neal Beets, City Manager <br />Chris Miller, Finance Director <br />From: Richard B. Gasaway <br />Ike: 2004 Budget Goals <br />In preparation for the most recent scheduled discussions on the Fire Department }s 2004 <br />budget I became aware that the goals listed in the 2004 proposed budget book are not <br />accurate. The goals listed in the budget book reflect the Fire Department's first budget <br />proposal prepared in March 2003 and delivered to the Council as a first draft in June <br />2003. The Fire Department's original budget proposal was for the Fire Department's <br />budget to increase to fund the goals listed in the budget book. <br />Since March of this year, the Legislature and the Governor have cut Decal Governrnent <br />Aid to Roseville by $700,000. Accordingly, at the request of the Council, since our first <br />draft of the budget we have prepared and presented to the Council a ware- increase budget <br />proposal. However, the original draft goal sheets in the June budget book have not been <br />updated to reflect the zero- increase budget. We have now updated the goals and they are <br />attached hereto for your review and discuss.ion. <br />As With other city departments, you may disregard the budget goals listed in the June <br />2004 proposed budget book. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have questions. <br />
