Pfiester and Members of the City Council City of Paris Paris, Texas 75461 Re.: 2001-2002 Operating Budget I Program of Services Honorable Mayor Pfiester and City Co~ncil Members: In accordance with Article V of the Charter of the City of Paris and all other applicable statutes and ordinances, I submit this proposed program of municipal service to be made available to the citizens of Paris for the 2001- 2002 fiscal year. ... Our goal must be to continue to provide the best services possible to our citizens, to maintain adequately the public investment in community facilities, and to retain and attract the qualified employees that are essential in attaining these goals. With these principal goals in mind, the sources of income and the plan of expenditures for all services to be offered by the Paris municipal government for the year beginning October 1, 2001, and concluding September 30, 2002, are presented within this document. Throughout the year, requests for service and suggestions from citizens, staff, and Council are received. Departmental requests have been submitted, discussed, and reviewed, taking into account financial resources available and the various concerns expressed by citizens and members of the City Council. The recommendations presented herein attempt to fairly allocate the resources available to provide the necessary and desirable public services that our citizens have come to expect. We as public servants, both Council and staff, are faced with the ever more difficult challenge of maintaining, improving, and adding services for our community while complying with increasingly more complex state and federal P.O.
