WORKSHOP -Fiscal Year 2007/2008 Budget
City Manager Huston presented the proposed Fiscal Year 2007-08 Budget:
The draft operating budget for all funds ensures that reserves are at levels that protect the City's
financial interests and provide the flexibility to adjust in the future if needed. In the past several years
through prudent financial planning, the City has been able to sustain consistent levels of services
while:
• Maintaining a 15% General Fund operating reserve for cash flow, investment income and
unforeseen contingencies;
• Absorbing the annual loss of property tax revenue shifted to the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund (ERAF) as mandated by the State;
• In fiscal years 2004-05 and 2005-06, absorbing the loss of over one million dollars in additional
General Fund revenue shifts to the State;
• Transferring monies to the capital improvement and park development funds in order to complete
essential projects;
• Transferring monies to the liability fund to meet obligations for the City's self-insured retention level.
• Cash flow for large scale CIP projects would not be possible without the use of Reserves.

FY 2007-08 Total Revenue and Expenses = $208,837,601
