SUB3ECT: 1984/1985 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
DATE: August 17,.1984
As previously advised, the Florida Municipal Health Trust
has advised us that. our rate for Health Insurance Coverage will be in-
creased 48% effective October 1, 1984. The total increase is $18,524.
Further, we have received the estimated cost for the first
year for the Employee Recognition Program to be approximately $2,970 and
we had budgeted $1,500 for this line ,item. We believe this is an important
program and should be instituted during the 1984/1985 fiscal year. The
proposed program is the least costly of three proposed programs but based
upon an initial purchase of 50 two piece emblems for our 42 regular employees.
Because of these two items, we believe the $45,000 budgeted
for Drainage Improvements under transportation could be deleted and if the
need arises for these funds, the Council could authorize a transfer from
unrestricted Water Department Funds (Retained Earnings Account).
If these changes were approved, the revised department and
expenditure totals would be as follows:
LEGISLATIVE
EXECUTIVE $ 3,900
Village Manager- 49,821
Village Clerk 30,207
Financial and Administrative 71,071
Legal Counsel'^ 35,000
Planning and Zoning'^ 5,200
Other General Government 86,531
Contingencies^ 31,500
Public Safety
Law Enforcement 721,083
Detention and/or Correction '~ 150
Protective Inspections 101,461
Civil Preparedness '^ 6,000
Multi Service Taxing Unit'^ 301,594
Physical Environment'^ 205,660
Transportation 218,393
~ Health Mosquito Control 18,410
Parks & Recreation 103,687
TOTAL $1,989,668
'^ Not Revised

1984/1985 General Fund Budget
August 17, 1984
Page-?-----------------------
These revised budget amounts would require $1,009,677 to
come from ad valorem taxes and the new millage rate would be $4.9200
per $1,000. The proposed tentative millage is 5.0418.
These items should merit your attention for the September
6, 1984 Public Hearing.
