The purpose of the public hearing was to discuss the proposed Fiscal Year 2005 operating budget.
The proposed revenue budget for Fiscal Year 200 is $22,221,592, up 2% over the proposed
budget for Fiscal Year 2004. Of this amount, $9,121,592 comes from fees and charges and
interest on investments; the remaining balance of $13,100.000 will come from the millage.
The proposed operating budget for Fiscal Year 2005 is $21,861,848, an increase of 6.4% over
the 2004 proposed budget. The higher increase is due to higher depreciation costs. In addition,
$734,070 has been included in the Administration Operating Budget for indirect cost charges,
$112,589 has been included for interest payments on the building authority bond, and $136,000
has been included to pay Orion Township for the approved bike path. There is also a 3.0%
salary increase for full-time employees; part-time eligible employees' salaries are frozen.

Our Fiscal Year 2004 adjusted operating budget is 5.5% or $1,062,496 less than originally

Operating Equipment requests for Fiscal Year 2005 total $401,000. Of this amount, $265,550
will be spent on replacement equipment.
Estimated new funds for Capital Development for Fiscal Year 2005 are $3,462,285, of which
$450,000 is earmarked for payment to the Oakland County Building Authority. The balance of
$3,012,285 is available to fund additional capital projects.
No questions were asked, nor comments received, by the public.
