Special Budget Wark Session <br />August 28, 2000 <br />Page 3 <br />decision and should the City Council wish to make contributions to some of <br />these organizations, he suggested there would be a need for documentation of <br />their tax status, their budget, audit, bylaws, and a list of their officers, salary <br />and wages, financial statement and some justification for spending public <br />funds. City Manager Malone advised that if the City Council wishes to make <br />those contributions, the proposed budget would have to be amended and a <br />public hearing held on the increased line item. <br />After discussion, a motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Manning to leave the <br />line items as they stand. The motion failed for lack of a second. <br />City Manager Malone advised that the line item for the Depot Rehabilitation <br />Proj ect is a capital account set up to disburse funds from a TxDOT grant for the <br />rehabilitation of the Santa Fe/Frisco Depot. City Manager Malone said that the <br />city expends the money for the budgeted proj ect items and then we draw the <br />money down from city grant funds held by TxDOT. City Manager Malone said <br />this account was expected to show a revenue of $500,000.00 and an <br />expenditure of $500,000.00, but plans and specifications and other things have <br />caused delays. Mr. Malone stated his expectation that the remaining <br />$800,000.00 of the grant would be drawn down in this fiscal year. He also <br />pointed out that this represents a$300,000.00 number that is inflated in this <br />years budget and is not actually a cost to the tax payers because this is revenue <br />neutral, but it does expand the overall budget number by $300,000.00. <br />City Manager Malone presented the proposed budget for his department and <br />advised that in the personnel section 40% of the City Manager's Secretary <br />expense is budgeted under Engineering and 10% is budgeted under the Cox <br />Field Airport Department. The Project Coordinator/Civil Service <br />Director/Airport Director is budgeted 50% under Engineering, 30% under Cox <br />Field Airport, 10% under Police, and 10% under the Fire Department. He said <br />no cost of living or reclassifications have been budgeted. <br />City Manager Malone went over the general expenditures for his department <br />
