familiarize him with the budget process thus far. He stated that the proposed budget is
approximately $33.3 million, a large portion of which is earmarked funds in the sense it is
sewer tax revenues or federal grants. The general fund portion is just over $16 million,
which compares to last year's $15,866,000. The currently proposed budget will not create
any new programs or staffing which will cost money. He stated that with a new City

Department, stated that the extreme heat and high humidity had been a factor in the
condition of the golf course and that everything possible was being done to improve the
course, but that only a break in the weather and some rain could really alleviate the
situation.
Mr. Roy Voiles, 2211 North Drive, made a presentation regarding the tax rate levy and the
