BUDGET: A resolution approving the 2002 Operating Budget. Mr. Steve Davis stated the 2002 Budget was $136,301,103 compared to last years adopted budget of $85,877,479 the major difference was two capital projects. The library construction for $20,417.00 and the first installment of the Wastewater System Improvement at twenty five million dollars. The original general fund budget showed use of reserves of approximately two million dollars. City staff went back and reduced spending 1.3 million dollars in general fund so that they could fit in the group benefit plan adjustment and the Hay Plan adjustments. In doing so they had a proposed use of fund balance of approximately 1.8 million dollars for next year. It would leave them with a projected fund balance or reserve account at the end of 2002 of six million dollars. Alderman Zurcher stated the Youth Advocacy Budget had not been brought back to 2002 budget, it was cut completely. He stated he would like to put some money back into that budget. Mayor Coody stated there were some committees that have not had corium for four or five meetings. Some of the committees were not very productive. Alderman Thiel stated this budget has taken money from a lot of non-profit groups and organizations that they have funded in the past. They had asked Steve to look at the city survey to see what people thought were important. Alderman Young stated he had been anticipating this budget in November, but that did not happen. He asked Mayor Coody if this was his proposed budget. Mayor Coody replied yes. Alderman Young stated in the past election, one of the major issues was communications and opening up and changing the way they did things. He was disappointed in this budget. This was not a real budget. It was a Readers Digest condensed version of the budget. If they really thought that they could know what was going on with the budget, they were mistaken. There was no break down in any of this stuff. They did not know what the money was being spent for in this document. Mr. Davis stated more information had been provided this year than in the pervious eight or nine years. Alderman Young questioned what "services and charges" were.
