<br />Fire Departments be held, in the Council Cha~er, at 5:30 P.M., on June 13, 1969, was adopted, without dis-
<br />senting vote.
<br />
<br /> 69-170 - "I submit herewith the budget estimates of the General Fund, Public Utility Fund, City Garage,
<br />Capital Improvement Fund, and Law Library Fund for zhe Fiscal Yea~ 1969-70 for the operation of the City
<br />Government.
<br />
<br /> For the next fiscal year, the General Fund is estimated to receive $28,381,894 in revenues. ~his re-
<br />flects an increase of $2,566,807 over the current year. Two revenue categories reflect rate increases -- they
<br />are Business License and the Cigarette Tax. The Council has previously adopted the new rate for Business
<br />License and an ordinance increasing the Cigarette Tax by .01¢ is being presented tonight. The balance of the
<br />revenue increases are created largely by increased property assessments, additional sales taxes and additional
<br />Federal and State funds.
<br />
<br />The larger increases by categories are as follows:
<br />
<br />Real Estate Taxes
<br />Personal Property Taxes
<br />Tobacco Taxes
<br />Business Licenses
<br />Sales Tax
<br />Federal ~ State Grants
<br />
<br />$750,000
<br />175,000
<br />100,O00
<br />1SS,D00
<br />75,000
<br />776,357
<br />
<br /> There are other minor estimated increases which brings the anticipated revenues to the total of
<br />$28,381,894.
<br />
<br /> The estimated expenditures in the General Fund amount to $28,377,955 or an increase of $2,562,868, of
<br />which $1,514,810 is school cost increase.
<br />
<br /> There have been deleted from the various departments $1,237,000 in requested appropriations. ~ese
<br />deletions included additional personnel, supplies and materials, and equipment. There has been included a
<br />4-1/2% salary and wage increase for all employees including the Fi~e and Police Departments.
<br />
<br /> Excluding the school appropriation which amounts to $14,253,560 9~ 50% of the budget, the balance of the
<br />budget totals $14,124,395 and this is broken down as follows:
<br />
<br />Personal Services (Salaries 6 Wages)
<br />Contractual Services
<br />Fim~d Charges
<br />Materials ~ Supplies
<br />Equipment
<br />Debt-Service
<br />Relief
<br />
<br />$7,143,848
<br />594,102
<br />1,881,654
<br />767,~23
<br />68,868
<br />1,060,000
<br />2,608,800
<br />
<br />The above categories have increased by the following amounts over the 1968-69 budget:
<br />
<br />Personal ServiCes
<br />
<br />661,282
<br />
<br />This reflects the 4-1/2% increase provided for all City employees. Of this amount $293,000 is in the Fire
<br />and Police Departments. The Health Department shows an increase of $47,800 but this is due to additional
<br />personnel plus merit increases ~der the S:ate Merit System. $57,023 increase in Virginia Public Assistance
