Roll call vote; The motion carried unanimously, 8:0. 6. PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION: Resolution 4781 Adopting a Supplemental Budget; Making Appropriations for the City of Eugene for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2003 and Ending June 30, 2004 City Manager Taylor asked Budget Manager Kitty Murdoch, to speak on the Supplemental Budget. Ms. Murdoch stated that Supplemental Budget 1 (SB 1) added an increase of $10.5 million to the City of Eugene's annual budget. She said this increase was in large part due to a reconciliation of marginal beginning working capital. She explained that this was the difference between the budget estimate was for the starting balance of each fund in the budget and the auditors' final determination of the starting balance. She reported that the amount of that difference in the General Fund was $3.7 million, with the distribution, as follows: · $900,000 transferred to capital, as per usual policy · $662,000 sent to departments to complete projects budgeted in FY03 but not completed · $1 million sent to the pension bonds reserve to establish resources for use in calling pension bonds in FY07, and stated that if all the bonds could be called at that time the City would save $500,000 per year · $1.2 million has been allocated to the Reserve Fund for Revenue Shortfall Mr. Murdoch related there was a general fund contingency request for $5,000 to assist the Planning and Development Department in paying for a facilitator in the hospital siting effort. Ms. Murdoch said the City was recognizing new revenues across all funds, primarily grant revenues. Some of those include the $6.3 million in bond proceeds from the voter authorized Parks and Open Space bonds, $4.3 million in federal receipts for airport improvement projects, and $1.1 million from federal sources for the Amazon Creek Wetland Restoration Projects. She noted that the Solid Waste and Recycling Subfund had been taken out of the General Fund to become a stand-alone special revenue fund as the Solid Waste and Recycling Sub fund had been a stable fund for some years and did not need the protection from the General Fund. The Telecommunications Sub fund, also changed to a stand-alone fund because many of the lawsuits surrounding it had been resolved. These actions reduced the General Fund budget by $3.7 million.
