ITEM 6: REQUEST FOR ACTION RELATING TO REQUESTED CHANGES IN THE CURRENT OPERATING BUDGET (1989-1990) OF THE GENERAL FUND REVISING REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES. Mr. Ray presented this item to Council stating the staff has just completed the mid-year evaluations of the budget. He stated it has been determined that our General Fund Budget is in the best condition it has been in for three or four years. Revenue are up and expenses are within budget. Because of the projections of increased revenues for this fiscal year, he feels we now have an opportunity to finally eliminate the remaining employees that would normally be "carried" by the OPWA and place their cost directly into the department in which they work. The Street Department needs a supplemental appropriation of $57,000.00 and one other employee will be transferred to her true department effective this month. This will give us a true picture of cost of services and allow for better projections and budget preparation. The four revisions were outlined to Council. A motion was made by M. Thompson, seconded by S. Lamb, to approve the General Fund Revisions of Revenues and Expenditures as requested.
