<br />To protect service levels, the FY21-22 budget included a $12.6 million use of the General
<br />Fund balance available for spending (a one-time resource). New information related to
<br />sales tax and property tax supports increasing FY21-22 revenue estimates by $16.6
<br />million, resulting in $4 million of FY21-22 revenue available to appropriate ongoing costs.
<br />With the increase to the revenue estimate, the City no longer has a deficit budget for
<br />FY21-22. The following spending plan would address issues raised by the City Council
<br />and partially restore frozen employee positions to improve service levels to the public,
<br />while maintaining a balanced budget.
