The purpose of the public hearing was to discuss the proposed Fiscal Year 2008 operating budget.
The proposed revenue budget for Fiscal Year 2008 is $24,264.863, up 1.8% over the proposed
budget for Fiscal Year 2007. Of this amount, $9,689,163 comes from fees and charges and interest
on investments; the remaining balance of $14,850,000 will come from the millage.
The proposed operating budget for Fiscal Year 2008 is $24,371,138, an increase of 1.8% over the
2007 proposed budget. The majority of this increase is due to facility maintenance and repairs
noted in the operating budget booklet for projects totaling $1,065,250. A 1.0% salary increase has
been included for salaries in Fiscal Year 2008 for full-time employees. Our Fiscal Year 2007
adjusted operating budget is 8.2% or $1,860,729 less than originally budgeted due to reduced
depreciation projection, postponed building and grounds maintenance projects, and reduced salary
costs resulting from unfilled staff positions. Our Fiscal Year 2007 revenue budget is 0.5% or
$115,446 less than originally budgeted.
