support in the amount of $85,000 per year.
Susan Anderson, representing the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce, requested funding in the

Board Manager Miller said that staff was pleased to present the FY 2000/200 I proposed budget
for Council consideration. He said that during the past months, staff had attempted to
incorporate the direction given at the May 3, 2000, Special Workshop. As a result, the proposed
budget has a general fund unallocated contingency of $1,054,000. Mr. Miller said the budget
included all of the New Program requests and proposed staffing levels, and an increase in the
cash reserve from $5.5 million to about $5.6 million.
Mr. Miller said the operating budget had been trimmed by hundreds of thousands of dollars
which helped the City realize the unallocated contingency amount of $1,054,000. He said the
budget represented a 2% increase in the current fiscal year budget, not including the New
Programs.
Mr. Miller reviewed a request from the Tourism and Marketing Committee for proposed funding
in the amount of$1,1O0,000.

Mr. Miller said the budget currently showed a fully funded position for the Assistant City
Manager and it was not his intention to fill the position in the next fiscal year. He requested that
the Council consider dedicating those resources for purposes of organizational development and
continued team building within the organization.
Regarding the new positions proposed, Mr. Miller said the positions were being proposed in the
spirit of trying to get the job done.
