Special Council Meeting, October 28,. 1976 . 0 THE MAYOR and MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE: +! ji You will notice several changes in the total budget figures on !` 'the copies you received, which differ from final budget proposed at the last Finance Committee meeting, namely, Administrative Budget, ;;Sewer Budget , Parking Authority, Parking Garage, Capital Improvement And Airport. These changes are due to the approximate costs of the Health Insurance. There is also a change in the Collector's Budget, which reflects cemetery operation, as transferred into that Budget at the last Finance Committee meeting. Also, an increase of $2 ,997. 24 in the Health Department Budget, ' due to a mistake Faye and I made while estimating salary increase for that Department, where one person was added to that Department Budget 'during mid-year and was overlooked. Message. ; You will notice a revised estimate in Income for 1976-1977. 'This is a result of a conference between the Collector and myself, fusing actual Sales Tax income for 1975 and 1976, with the thought , that no decrease in retail sales will result in the coming year. I strongly feel the amount of interest gained on surplus :monies set aside for certain projects should never be used as a ;miscellaneous income for General Revenue, because the increase in jconstruction costs of these projects will more than offset the ilinterest accumulated. Taking the above into consideration I feel this Budget is ;;within our means and we will be able to live within it so long as the amount of special appropriations for the coming year is held to , "a minimum. Respectfully submitted, Ken V. Wildhaber, Chairman. !! - - _ - - - - - _ :'Bill No. 74, introduced by Councilmen Wildhaber, Robinson, Hager, 1 ';Whitecotton, Gordon, Manes , Borgmeyer, McDowell, Barry and Brant, :; t,entitled: 'An Ordinance of the City of Jefferson, Missouri , adopting a Budget , 'for the City, for the period November 1, 1976, to October 31, 1977) :;and appropriating money in the City Treasury to pay the cost of ;:operating the Citr Government during said period, in accordance ';with said Budget.
