Mayor distributes draft budget, cautions state bill and county EMS tax could alter revenues
Summary
The mayor presented an August draft budget and warned that state legislation limiting building-department fund use and a potential county EMS income-tax increase could change revenue assumptions; staff will update the draft once figures are available.
The mayor distributed a draft of the city's budget and emphasized it is preliminary. "This is a draft and it will change," the mayor said, asking council members to review the document and noting a planned first reading in September and final adoption in October to allow time for edits.
She identified three factors likely to change the draft numbers: (1) state miscellaneous revenue amounts have not yet been provided, (2) a recently passed state bill (referred to in the meeting as "house bill 10 o 1") limits use of building-department nonreverting funds to activities directly related to the building department, and (3) a county notice that the county plans to increase the EMS income tax, which could alter the city's share of income-tax-derived revenue. Staff will update the council as the details become available.
