The motion passed. Revenue The following report of the Special Revenue Finding Committee was Finding submitted by Mr. Debo: Committee Gentlemen: Report. The special committee forcried by Councilman Perry Hawes to especially investigate the condition of city finances in Jefferson City respectfully submits the following report: , 1. Available estimates indicate that the City Collector will receive for the 1964-65 fiscal year in the General Revenue Fund a total of $768 ,227 as compared to $738 ,706 estimated for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1964 . 2. Available estimates indicate that the Geneeal Revenue cash surplus on July 1, 1964, will be approximately $270,000 as compared ; , to the $292,000 surplus reported on July 1, 1963. :3. From present indications, the Cash surplus and General Revenue , will be reduced by only $22,000 as compared to the more than $100,000 indicated earlier in the fiscal year in the budget . 4. This committee interviewed all department heads and asked each to submit a budget for the succeeding fiscal year, and the request totaled $992,735 .99 . It is reasonable to assume that the Council will ,modify some of these requests, but assuming it would not, the City should have a reserve fund of $135,484 based on available figures, which should be adequate for an emergency and for payment of the cost of city government even during periods when income is lightest . The effect of annexation which is proposed cannot be accurately ' predicted at this time . It is true the annexed area will required 4.56 ,I additional policing, fire protection, and other services rendered by the City. On the other hand, there would be increased returns from franchise taxes on utilities and, under present policy, additional gasoline taxes from the trust fund from the state gasoline tax returns. If the additional area is annexed as a basis for payment, there is a lapse of time before the City would receive real property taxes from the annexed area because it is not known when annexation will take place. The Committee recognizes that additional services are demanded by the citizens of the City and that such additional services would add to City progress -- but would increase the cost of government . The Committee does not, however, believe that necessary general support for increased revenue can be received so long as there is an indicated surplus which would take care of some of the pressing City needs for which increased revenue would be used. The members of the Committee delieve that there could well be a revision of the existing ordinances and state statutes with respect to Merchants ' licenses and earnings taxes but that j such determination is a matter for the City Council and the State Legislature and not this Committee. Such sources of increased revenue are the most logical in view of the present rate of tax- ation on real and personal property. The specific conclusion of the Committee is that until the cash surplus of the City is reduced, the Council need not increase taxes, that the existing surplus be reduced for the pur- pose of taking care of those needs which the Council considers most pressing, including salary changes where indicated and equip- ;± ment purchases, after annexation bedomes a reality, to render j services over an extended territory. The Committee expresses it appreciation to the City Collector, the City Fiscal, and to the department heads who pre- pared careful budgets and to the Assistant Manager of the Jefferson City Chamber of Commerce who kept minutes of committee meetings . The budget requests from the various City departments are submitted herewith for use by the Mayor and the City Council. /s/ Robert Debo Paul Hogg Perry Hawes Montie Wil.lcoxon j Forrest Scrivner John Morris Charles Gillespie I Burleigh Arnold Robert Hyder George Rozier On motion of Mr. Debo, the report was adopted.
