Resolution No. R201 9-18; Preliminary Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Budget Approval —Patty Holland, Chief Financial Officer Ms. Ustick said the power point of the budget presentation will only include the changes made from the draft budget work shop documents from the Special Meeting of April 25, 2019. The changes are included in the preliminary budget pending approval by the Mayor and Councilors. The final budget adoption for FY 2020 is scheduled for the Regular Meeting of June 11, 2019. Ms. Holland said a vehicle replacement plan, which was to be included in the FY 2020 budget in accordance with the City’s Strategic Plan, is not currently included in the preliminary budget.

Although the City has already budgeted $750,000 for its share in prisoner care costs, Ms. Ustick said she was advised by the County that the City will need to allocate an additional $81,000 in next year’s budget to cover those costs, which are projected to increase. Rather than amending the proposed preliminary budget to add $81,000 for prisoner care costs, Ms. Ustick recommended reviewing those costs when the City is billed by the County toward the end of the next fiscal year.
