City Council Regular Meeting— 04/24/06 <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 9 <br />Councilmember Ihlan clarified that this draw down was in <br />addition to that authorized by the City Council in an effort <br />to reduce the 2006 General Fund tax levy increase. <br />Councilmember Kough questioned the impact to the budget <br />for contract maintenance cleaning of the new facilities on <br />the City Hall campus. <br />Ms. Miller noted that, while still being analyzed, staff had <br />anticipated an approximate savings of 25%, but had yet to <br />realize that full percentage and asked the City Council for <br />additional time, probably July or August of this year, to <br />make a fair determination on whether this outsourcing was <br />a cost-saving measure for the City or if employee <br />maintenance was more prudent. <br />Councilmember Ihlan questioned the additional <br />expenditures for Public Safety and Public Works <br />amounting to $126,000. <br />Mr. Miller noted that, when going into the budget process <br />18 months prior to the actual expenditures, determining <br />how much grant money would be received for special <br />programs, but requiring additional overtime for the Police <br />Department for adding value-added programs couldn't be <br />itemized. Mr. Miller also noted higher-than-anticipated <br />fuel and energy-related costs for those departments; <br />advising that those items needed to be watched carefully in <br />the 2006 preparation for the 2007 budget year. <br />Kough moved, Pust seconded, approval of the year-end <br />amendments to the 2005 Budget as outlined in the staff <br />report dated Apri124,2006, and summarized as follows: <br />Fund Amendment <br />License $92,000 additional <br />�:� n��r <br />Comments <br />Appropriate for salaries <br />and renovation costs; <br />increased customer <br />volume; additional <br />revenues of j <br />a rc,x�nl�it t ' � 1 ��,0[�[� <br />
