As a result of this review, a number of items in the proposed budget has been changed and a number of other items that are currently unfunded have been placed on a "wish list" to be prioritized by the City Council. The current projections indicate that the General Fund balance at the close of fiscal years 2000-01 and 2001-02 are estimated to be $1,933,161.00 and ($1,002,051.00) respectively. These projections take into account all changes tentatively approved by the City Council in their previous budget sessions (May 16 and May 19, 2000) as well as other appropriations being considered for approval at this meeting. In addition, changes have also been made in the Municipal Utilities Department budget to reflect two position reclassifications, the addition of a full-time position, additional funding for the new utility billing computer system, and $89,000.00 for the Redlands Mall parking lot maintenance as requested by the Redlands Mall. In accordance with the City Council's request, information was also provided regarding each utility enterprise and the status of their respective reserve funds. The following information was presented at this meeting: a schedule indicating tentatively approved changes to the General Adjourned Regular Meeting June 20,2000 Page 1 Fund balance; revised Summary Schedules; a schedule of proposed reserves for all funds; funding plans for the Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste enterprises; and a Citywide departmental "wish list." Councilmember Haws indicated he would like to adopt the budget as proposed and delay action on the "wish list." He asked for a clarification on the policy regarding moving money around within a department's budget and urged the City Council to place the Lockheed funds in an "untouchable" reserve. Councilmember Gilbreath urged Councilmembers to also consider a capital reserve policy. Councilmembers concurred to continue this discussion on July 1.8, 2000. Departments heads then reviewed and prioritized their "wish list" items.

The goal is to prepare a plan that will sufficiently protect endangered, threatened and other sensitive plant and animal species so as to permit future development in the plan area without excessive delays due to biological issues.
