BUDGET STUDY SESSION City Manager Bruce Spragg
PRESENTATION OF presented a suggested
PRELIMINARY BUDGET schedule dated May 14,
1976, for the review of
the Preliminary Budget. The schedule provided for Budget
study sessions to coincide with regular Council meeting dates,
May 25, June 7, 21, 22, and July 6 with the public hearing
and adoption scheduled for July 19. He suggested, and Council
agreed, that each Deputy City Manager would discuss highlights
of his budget with an overview presentation by the Manager.
The City Manager briefly outlined the comments contained in his
message to the Mayor and City Council, pages 1-12 of the Pre-
liminary Budget document, including the facts that the Budget
will increase $6-1/2 million to a total of $52 million with
no increase in the existing property tax rate and with no major
increases in personnel or programming; that a recent estimate
of next year's assessed valuation is 15% or 5% more than used
for the Preliminary Budget, which would provide over $315,000
additional to the General Revenue Fund, $24,000 for Parks and
Recreation, $43,000 for libraries and $39,000 for capital pro-
jects, at the same tax rate; that the sales tax increase is
estimated at 6% which is not indicative of good growth rate;
and that Santa Ana has traditionally operated with fewer
employees than most of the cities in California that are the
same size. Mr. Spragg went on to say that the Budget document
includes a listing of major accomplishments in this fiscal
year, the goals of the City, major programs, and some of the
things the City hopes to accomplish with this Budget.
Councilman Evans left the meeting at 6:45 P.M.
City Attorney Keith Gow reviewed the proposed budget for the
City Attorney's office, including his request for one Steno
Clerk at an annual cost of $12,700, the addition of $50,000
to the 191 account for Other Personal Services to cover the
cost of enforcing the pornographic theater ordinance, the
adjustment of most of the other accounts for the rise in costs,
the inclusion in the 221 account, Training and Transportation,
for the City Attorney's attendance at the American Bar Associa-
tion meeting out of State, and $1,000 for appearances at the
Appellate Court in San Francisco. CA 65B
