The purpose of the public hearing was to discuss the proposed Fiscal Year 2004 operating budget.
The proposed revenue budget for Fiscal Year 2004 is $21,784,987 up 3.6% over the proposed
budget for Fiscal Year 2003. Of this amount, $9,084,987 comes from fees and charges and
interest on investments. The remaining balance of $12,700.000 will come from the millage.
The proposed operating budget for Fiscal Year 2004 is $20,545,714, an increase of 9.7% over
the 2003 proposed budget. The higher increase is due to higher depreciation costs, plus the
amount of $513,730 has been included in the Administration Operating Budget for indirect cost
charges. In addition, $130,007 has been included for interest payments on the building authority
bond and the re -opening of Red Oaks Golf Course. A 2.0% salary increase has been included
for full-time employees' salaries; the part-time eligible employees' salaries are frozen for 2004.
Our Fiscal Year 2003 adjusted operating budget is 7.3% or $1,281,052 more than originally
budgeted due to depreciation costs. Our Fiscal Year 2003 revenue budget is 2.5% or $525,334
less than originally budgeted.
Operating Equipment requests for Fiscal Year 2004 total $506,247. Of this amount, $251,747
will be spent on replacement equipment.
