FROM: Michael L. Antwine II (e-signature)
Michael L. Antwine II, City Manager

SUBJECT: Review of Fiscal Year 2024-25 Proposed Budget

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. R eceive comments from the public, and provide feedback to staff

2. Schedule two (2) budget workshops in June

3. Set the Public Hearing date to consider the final budget on June 12, 2024.

BACKGROUND:

Per the City Charter, the City Manager shall submit to the Council the proposed budget 35 days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. To comply with the Charter section, the City Manager’s Office will present the draft FY 2024-25 budget to the Council at the May 22, 2024 regular meeting.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed FY 2024-25 budget projects the City’s General Fund revenues of $19,032,893 and Expenditures of $20,172,497. The proposed FY 2024-25 budget is structurally unbalanced with a projected deficit of $1,1,39,604. As such, staff will be seeking Council direction on decreases of expenditures in various budgeted line items and revenue growth strategies to implement within the proposed budget FY 2024-25. Even though structurally unbalanced the proposed FY 24-25 budget maintains the city’s existing level of services: strategic investments of ARPA funds and improvements in our public infrastructure and allocation of personnel resources to the: Public Works, Police, and Human Resources Departments.

While there are always more needs and requests than resources available to the city, staff seeks the Council’s guidance and direction on the prioritization of the City’s fiscal resources within the following areas or any other areas: Infrastructure, Community Services (Recreation Programming), Economic Development and Fiscal Health and Sustainability.
