At that time, the <br />Council authorized expenditures for the City's various activities in the following <br />amounts: <br /> <br />FY 1990-91 <br />ADOPTED BUDGET <br /> <br />FY 1991-92 <br />ADOPTED BUDGET <br /> <br />General Fund <br />Utility Fund <br />Enterprise Funds <br />Internal Service Funds <br />Capital Improvement Funds <br />Debt Service Funds <br /> <br />$ 13,540,923 <br />6,082,850 <br />3,086,739 <br />2,446,595 <br />10,983,916 <br />4.467.646 <br /> <br />$ 14,281,417 <br />6,178,122 <br />3,300,083 <br />2,351,249 <br />6,166,408 <br />4.405.530 <br /> <br />Total Authorized Expenditures <br /> <br />36,682,809 <br /> <br />40,608,669 <br /> <br />The figures outlined above represent a $3,925,860 (9.7%) decrease over last year's <br />budget. <br /> <br />The 1991-92 City Budget is designed to render municipal service at a similar level <br />as experienced in the prior year. In addition, this financial plan will focus on <br />obtaining desired results in enhancing infrastructur~ deficiencies identified by <br />City Council during summer workshops, as well as continue to promote the expansion <br />of recreation amenities for the general population. <br /> <br />The adopted General Fund Budget reflects an overall increase of 5.5%. There are two <br />General Fund divisions that incurred major decreases between the two fiscal years. <br />One is in the Legal Division the other within the Traffic Control Division. The <br />City has been actively involved in an attempt to deny a permit for a commercial <br />hazardous waste incinerator located near the City. The permitting process is almost <br />complete and while the outcome is not known, it is not expected to have an adverse <br />monetary effect on the City's budget. Next, the Traffic Control Division decreased <br />by $20,527 of which $19,000 represented the purchase of a vehicle in fiscal year <br />1990-91. <br /> <br />1-1 <br /> <br />P.O.
