F. through the fo 110i.Jing pr'ocedures: <br />1) Effective tax rate computation <br />2) hdministrative transfer from the Utility Fund. <br /> <br />These two procedures will provide $1,332,764 for general obligation <br />debt retirement in fiscal 1987. However, the amount of debt to be <br />retired in fiscal 1987 is 666,382. Therefore, the additional amount <br />budgeted can be used to fund other unanticipated expenditures. <br /> <br />SolidHaste - Com. Revenue - Revenues were budgeted initially for a. <br />three month period. Council indicated a desi!~e to continue the <br />solidwaste commercial division since it is self-supporting. An <br />additional nine months of operations will increase revenue $236,082. <br /> <br />\io rl{lnans' Compensat ion - premiums i.Jere pro jected by niL in Octobe r <br />1986 to be ,190,717. However, the City budgeted only 0161,288. Later <br />in the year TML did a re-rate based on pool experience. The re-rate <br />increased \.Jorkmans' compensation for the City for the current year. <br />Also, the State Board of insurance raised rates which became <br />effective January 1987. These combined changes increased workmans' <br />compensation insurance ~41,088. <br /> <br />General Liabilitv/Casualtv - premiums increased $233,199 due to a <br />re-rate process by the Texas Municipal League. The original budget <br />is insufficient to accomodate this additional cost. <br /> <br />Solidwaste-Commercial division originally budgeted for three <br />months.
