Fiscal Impact Statement:
|
The proposed 2017-18 budget reflects an overall reduction in spending of $21.0 million, or 1.8%, from the 2016-2017 budget. The reduction reflects the fact that the 2016-17 budget included borrowing in the Construction Fund which is not included in the proposed budget for 2017-18. Projected revenues in the general operations budget are virtually unchanged at a 0.3% increase over 2016-17.
The total proposed budget--which includes grant funding and funding for Milwaukee Recreation---is $1,176,129,642, down from $1,197,098,961 in 2016-2017.

Implementation and Assessment Plan
:
|
Upon the Board's adoption of these preliminary budgetary resolutions, the Board Clerk will certify the Board's action to the City Clerk. In October 2017, however, once the District has received final information regarding federal and state aids, revised budgetary resolutions will be brought to the Board for its consideration and adoption. The Board Clerk will then certify that action to the City Clerk for purposes of the tax levy.
|
|
Recommendation:
|
Your Committee recommends that the Board approve the budget resolutions contained in Attachment 1 (pending any adjustments necessitated by additional amendments to the proposed budget to be presented at the time of the Board's meeting).
