Dear Honorable Board Members:
On June 5, 2012, I submitted to your Honorable Board my recommendations for a proposed Fiscal Year 2013 General Fund Budget for the various departments of municipal government. My recommended FY 2013 General Fund Appropriation totaled $171,726, 330.00
I am submitting to your Honorable Board a revised FY2013 Appropriation Order that reflects the one hundred eighty thousand, eight hundred eighty three dollars ($ 180,883.00) in reductions recommended by your Honorable Board’s Finance Committee while meeting as a Committee of the Whole on June 19, 2012. The revised Appropriation Order also includes the following budgetary corrections: fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) to the Arts Council Personal Services Account to fund the Office Manager position; twenty four thousand dollars ($24,000.00) to the Sanitation Divisions for the procurement of additional recycling toters, additional postage for mailings, and additional funds to print informational brochures; thirty six thousand dollars ($36,000.00) added to the Appropriation Summary for Recreation Department Personal Services due to a transposition error. The Recreation Department Personal Services is correctly stated in the Recreation Department section of the budget book but incorrectly stated in the Appropriation Summary.
The attached Appropriation Order provides the breakdown by department of the totals for Personal Services, Ordinary Maintenance, Capital Outlay, and Special Items needed for the Board’s formal adoption of the FY2013 General Fund Budget. The result of these changes is to bring the General Fund Appropriation for FY2013 to $171,620,447. This represents a reduction of $105,883 from the original budget submission.
I would like to commend the Board of Aldermen for their diligence and efforts during this budget process.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
