Members  \n# We Roll Out the Red Carpet Not the Re\n\nApril 28,2015  \n# Re:Submittal of the FY-2016 City of Ball Ground Budgets\n\nMayor A,R.(Rick)Roberts,IPost Office Box 285Ball Ground,GA 30107  \nDear Mayor Roberts:  \nEnclosed for your review and consideration are the proposed budgets for the city ofBall Ground General Operating Fund,SPLOST Fund,Water/Sewer Fund and SolidWaste Fund.  \nEach budget is preceded by a memorandum that discusses the highlights andreasoning behind the various projections,  \nBudget totals are as follows:  \n\n| Budget   | Proposed  \u003Cbr>2016   | Adopted  \u003Cbr>2015   | Actual  \u003Cbr>2014   | Increase/  \u003Cbr>Decrease   | Percentage   |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| General Fund   | $920,295   | $679,960   | 697,201   | $240,335   | 26%   |\n| SPLOST   | $380,020   | $354,520   | 347,832   | $25,500   | 7%   |\n| Water/Sewer   | $864,850   | $752,000   | 857,633   | $92,850   | 13%   |\n| Solid Waste   | $120,000   | $105,000   | 106,951   | $8,000   | 12.5%   |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Total   | $2,285,165   | $1,891,480   | 2,009,617   | $366,685   | 17%   |\n\nThe most noticeable change is the increase of 26%in the General Fund.This is due tothe fact that the City now technically collects the fire tax -that was previously paiddirectly by the residents to Cherokee County.Now these funds are paid to the County,sent to the City,and the City pays them back to the County.As such,this is ananticipated $150,000increase in revenue with a matching expenditure to CherokeeCounty.After accounting for this change,the actually budget increase is 8.8%.  \nThe proposed budgets anticipate an increased level of service in Roads and Streetswith the addition of one person,and an increased level of service in Parks and Recreationwith one new amenity and two additional acres to maintain.  \nThe budget was prepared after consulting with all committees and department headsand obtaining goals and objects from each.We have attempted in this budget to meet allgoals and objectives.Based on these meetings we have allocated funding to accomplishthe following:  \n## Public Works:\n\nOne additional staff position has been added with primary duties to be mowing,streetsigns,street repairs,building maintenance and repairs.During the economic difficultiesin our recent past,public works was reduced from a staffing level of 4 to a staffing levelof 2.This will take the department back to 75%staffing.Funding for this positioncomes from the General Operating Fund of the City.  \nPublic Works also requested the addition of a salt/sand spreader and if possible a snowplow that would mount on the existing Ford F250 in the department.Funding has beenallocated for the spreader.The Snow plow may or may not be funded depending on cashflow at mid year.The spreader was determined to be a priority over the plow because wedo have existing contractors that assist with scraping roads.We have no outsideresources for spreading.  \n## Public Safety:\n\nThe biggest goal for the department next year is to be fully operational with in-carcomputer systems.The department has done an excellent job in obtaining equipment thrugrants.We have provided in the General Operating Fund budget additional dollars for aircards so each of the computers can be internet connected.  \nAlthough not a direct funding line-we are in the process of increasing all municipalcourt fines by $35.00.These dollars will provide funding for new software for thedepartment to have a fullinterfaced,functional and serve based software system that talkswith Municipal Court,Dispatch and potentially the GCIC network,  \nFinally,funding has been allocated in the SPLOST budget to pay for a tag reader.Thispiece of equipment has already been delivered and installed by the first payment of  \n$6,000 is not due until next fiscal year.  \n## Parks and Recreation:\n\nFunding has been allocated in the SPLOST budget to assist in the construction of a smallFrisbee or\"Disc Golf\"Course.This is the fastest growing sport in Americ","cbCaiq5p7I3Qtgu7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq5p7I3Qtgu7","pdf",2477761,26,"English","# FY 2016 City
