Public Hearing Fiscal Year 1996-1997 Budget Adoption Of Proposed Final 1996-1997 Budget, Resolution Number 080896-A Gillette declared the public hearing open, and, as no one was in attendance who wished to address the Board, the public hearing was closed. Ward stated that staff recommendation is to adopt the budget; the budget is again balanced; revenues are weak, due principally to the tax shift; and the increase of some fees and charges and the carryover savings from last year have helped balance the budget. He referenced the staff report, thanked the administrators and staff for their fiscal responsibility and budgetary efforts, and invited questions. It was moved by Berger and seconded by Lange to adopt Resolution Number 080896-A, a resolution approving the 1996-1997 budget, and that it be read in title only and all further readings be waived. Lange commended the General Manager's leadership and the District's foresight and prudent fiscal approach. On behalf of the Board, Gillette expressed appreciation to the General Manager, senior management, and all District employees for their fiscal tenacity and resolution during this difficult time of diminishing financial resources. Ward identified the budget summary handout. The motion carried unanimously, 5-0. In response to Jacobsen's request and with Gillette's concurrence, Sorensen said that staff would prepare a quarterly status report of all capital improvement projects.
