Public Hearing: The Mayor declared the public hearing open and presented the Budget for the 2006-07 year. The Mayor stated that revenue is higher due to the park impact fees and the new city hall. We are budgeting for 450 homes to be built. We feel these are good estimates on revenues and have tried to stay on the conservative side. The income on the transfers is income out of the general fund into funds for park and building construction. The dollars are then put into their own funds. In reviewing expenses we have increased salaries 3%- not Council/Mayor. We have also increased health insurance. The marketing line item has been increased by $25,000. ., Under capital expenditures - equipment we have budgeted for new computers and an entire phone system for the new building. Under capital community we have budgeted for more streetlights and money to put the new arena building back up. The budget reflects about $20,000 over what you show in tax revenues, but when you add in utilities and everything else we are okay - the budget balances. We also budgeted for three extra people that may or may not happen. Bell asked if everything including the new car was included in the police costs. The Mayor stated that it included everything.
