Warrants, Exhibits A - D, Total $677,555.71 It was moved by Jacobsen, seconded by Lange, and carried 4-0, to approve the Consent Calendar as presented. 7. DEFERRED MATTERS A. Public Hearing — Fiscal Year 2000-2001 Budget 1. Proposed General Fund Budget Berger declared the Public Hearing open. Jorgensen reviewed the proposed budget, and identified and discussed revenue and expenditure projections, including one-time expenses such as costs associated with the furnishing of a new community center. He said revenue projections include continued growth in property tax revenue, and increased revenue from Youth Outreach and the Summer Day Camp Program. He identified expenditures such as the employee cost of living increase and other employee -related changes, including two position reclassifications and a $100,000 set aside for reserve workers compensation claims settlements. He summarized that the budget is prudent, but cautioned that some use of fund balance may occur at year- end to offset the impact of one-time expenditures. In response to Lange's inquiry, Jorgensen said it is hoped that conservative revenue projections, built-in savings, and a frugal approach to spending will result in a balanced budget at year's end. Nick Quidwai congratulated staff on the budget, said that he found no waste in the District's budget, recommended an aggressive approach in identifying additional revenue sources, and commended the Youth Outreach Program and urged its additional funding. In response to Jacobsen's inquiry, Jorgensen said that the final budget will be adopted July 27, and a description of code locations will be supplied with the final budget.
