Public Hearings Res 2014-40 RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2015 BUDGET AND CERTIFICATION OF THE MILL LEVY FOR THE CITY OF COMMERCE CITY. Mayor Ford opened the public hearing. City Manager McBroom stated that the 2015 recommended budget is balanced, and for the first time since 2005, operating revenues will exceed operating expenditures. Interim Finance Director Sheryl Carstens gave a brief presentation. She stated that the budget figures include the 2K projected revenues on the 1% sales tax increase. However, it does not include the expenditures because later on in the agenda is an ordinance to amend the 2014 budget for the $78 million in bond proceeds that were issued. Those are in the CIP funds and the account balances are carried over from year-to-year. At the end of 2014 council will see a a significant increase in the CIP fund balance because they will only be decreasing those proceeds by the 2014 expenditures. Likewise, in 2015, the CIP fund balance will go down for the 2015 incurred expenditures for the 2K projects. City Manager responded to council questions by stating that Sunday hours at the recreation center and storm water maintenance are included expenditures in the 2015 budget. No one from the audience came forward to address council on the budget and the public hearing was continued to November 3, 2014. A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Bullock, seconded by Council Member McEldowney, that this resolution be continued.
