cipated expenditures; 1989-90 tables were
very preliminary; that all estimates were
subject to further refinement during the
budget process; that the top ten revenue
producers accounted for 94% of the
General Fund revenues; that sales tax
revenue was over budget by $700,000;
9-11% in property evaluation growth with a
corresponding increase in property tax;
that the unitary tax had not yet been
evaluated; 4% growth in motor vehicle
licensing; decrease in hotel occupancy
tax in relation to new hotels, etc.
Discussion followed: hotel occupancy
tax; staying abreast of legislation;
hotel occupancy levels; greater code
enforcement for business license viola-
tions; amount received from collection
agencies; amount recovered from sales tax
from the consultant hired to bring in
additional tax; potential revenue for on-
line construction projects; that the
major impact on the growth in sales tax
was due to the Price Club and the econ-
omy, etc.
Director of Finance Marx explained the
expenditure and fund balance projections,
and identified the variables.
City Manager Armas stated that histori-
cally the Council had set aside
$1,500,000 for catastrophic events, which
was a very prudent policy, however, he
believed it would be equally prudent to
earmark a sum of money .to be able to cope
with any unfavorable economic swings due
to the budget being so dependent on sales
and property taxes which would provide a
cushion for services.
He spoke of preparing effectively for the
replacement of equipment on a scheduled
systematic basis, as the equipment was
aging, and staff was doing an analysis to
find out the age, replacement period,
life, and the costs associated with the
long term liability.
Discussion followed:
