board.
A change in the budget is
that, for the first time, the road
and street fund will include an
allocation for personal services.
This will allow the city to accu
rately identify expenses and
may enable the city to reduce
insurance costs in the future,
according to Orlowski.
Tthe water depreciation
fund, which will be used to re
place infrastructure as it ages,
is continuing to grow. A large
fund decreases the city’s future
need for large loana to replace
outdated water equipment.
The city is "doing well” finan
cially, Orlowski said. For the
second consecutive year, both
the general fund and the water
fund were able to cover ex
penses for the first half of the
year, until property taxes were
received, without a transfer
from another fund. Orlowski
compared the city’s current and
proposed budgets to historical
budget data, showing a deficit
of $139,357 at the beginning of
fiscal year 2000-2001 which
was reduced to $9,083 by the
beginning of the next fiscal year
(2001-2002). The beginning
fund balance for this year is
$142,858.
The final document present
ed to the committee was the
city's current profit and loss
budget comparison. Deegan
explained that this document
will allow them to see actual
revenues and expenses, to
date, for every fund.
Orlowski praised Deegan’s
work with Portland General
Electric to conduct an audit of
all homes and businesses with
in the city. Deegan said that
she could not find a record of
the previous audit but that it
was clearly conducted before
Arbor Village was completed or
the Banks Lumber Company
was annexed into the city. The
PGE audit resulted in dramati
cally increased franchise rev
enue.
The budget calendar sched
ules meetings for April 30, May
7 and 14, as needed.
The budget will be presented
to the public for comment at a
hearing on May 21. The final
budget will be adopted at the
June city council meeting.
