Box 1 11 5 La Porte, Texas 77571 Ladies and Gentlemen: In accordance with Article IV of the City of La Porte Charter, I hereby submit the proposed budget for fiscal year 1984-1985, with no tax increase anticipated in the proposed budget. The budget consists of the following Fund programs: (1) General, (2) Water and Wastewater, (3) Vehicle Maintenance, (4) Debt Service, and (5) Capital Improvement, (6) Motor Pool Replacement, and (7) Federal Revenue Sharing. Each of these budgets are in balance in that funds available exceed proposed appropriations. Capital Improvement Funds contains proposed improvements for fiscal year 1984-1985, as well as a number of items carried forward that were planned and budgeted in the prior budget year. The total General Fund Operating Budget is proposed with an increase of approximately 12 percent over the 1983-1984 budget. This percent increase can be attributed to the City's requirement that we implement a fully operational Motor Pool and Vehicle Maintenance Program. The maintenance budget increase without the two aforementioned elements is approximately a 1.4 percent increase over last years (1983-1984) General Fund Budget. Any increase in the proposed budget is a reflection of annexation and the associated costs that accompany the same.
