BOOK 98 FAU 210 <br />BUDGET STATUS REPORT <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/22/96: <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />DATE: May 22, 1996 <br />SUBJECT: Pre -Budget Status Report <br />FROM: Janes E. Chandlerf <br />CountyAdministra r <br />At the conclusion of the May 28 Regular Meeting, a very generalized overview will be <br />presented on the status of the formulation of the proposed FY 96/97 budget. The expense figures <br />in the attached document reflect the individual budgets as submitted to the Budget Office. At <br />this point, the figures have not been appreciably adjusted nor have there been any reductions by <br />staff yet. Staff just completed the initial review this week with each of the Board departments. <br />As in the past, it should be emphasized that the staff work has in reality just begun and the <br />figures presented in the July recommended budget will be significantly different. <br />Administrator Chandler advised that as we go through the the <br />individual funds, it will be apparent that our difficulty this <br />upcoming year is going to be in our tax budgets -- the combination <br />of the General Fund, MSTU, Transportation and EMS. our goal in <br />putting those budgets together has been and is to attempt to hold <br />the line on taxes, but there are a couple of factors within those <br />budgets that are going to make it extremely difficult to do so. He <br />felt it is safe to say at this point that there will be no <br />increases in rates or fees in the budgets of the Enterprise or <br />other funds. There are 3 factors that are generally common to all <br />of the operating budgets: <br />1) Providing funding in each of these accounts for the <br />continuation of the salary step program. <br />2) Providing a plug figure for an across the board figure <br />that equates to the figure discussed with the Board during <br />strategy meetings with respect to labor negotiations. <br />3) A.third item common to a lot of the budgets is the <br />replacement of vehicles. We have deferred replacement for <br />several years and at -this point there are requests for 26 <br />replacement vehicles within the BCC budget. <br />39 <br />MAY 289 1996 <br />
