Staffs intent is for the Council to finalize the actions related to AD 85 -1 and AD 84 -2 and to adopt the FY 1996/97 budget. BACKGROUND The City Manager's Proposed Budget ( "Proposed Budget ") was presented to the City Council for consideration on May 29, 1996. After general discussion of the Proposed Budget, the City Council directed the Committee to review the Proposed Budget in greater detail and allow opportunity for additional public comment and input. The Committee held two budget workshops on June 3, 1996 and June 6, 1996. During these workshops, the Committee considered the Proposed Budget and recommended certain changes to the proposals made by the City Manager. These recommendations were contained in a June 11, 1996 staff report from Administrative Services Manager Don Reynolds and considered by the City Council on June 12, 1996. The Council generally supported the recommendations of the Committee and made additional changes.

Consideration of lighting for the Multi- Purpose Court at AVCP will be postponed until an audit is completed of the Park Improvement Fund's (Fund 5) Community Zone. At the June 12 meeting, the Council agreed to make additional changes to the proposed budget. Moorpark Cable T.V. was reduced an additional $1,200 from the capital outlay, and staff was directed to look at using the Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 31) to finance some of the upgrades to the Apricot Room sound system. In the Lighting and Landscape Special Assessment District AD 84 -2, the water transport study was removed entirely ($10,800 in professional services), and staff was directed to look only at providing water to Mountain Meadows Park, reducing this appropriation in Assessment District 85 -1 from $7,200 to $6,000. Both of the special assessments will share a portion of the equipment required to certify back -flow devices of $1,400, which is proposed to be spent at approximately 1/3 in AD 85 -1, ($400) and approximately 2/3 in AD 84 -2 ($1,000).
