2 <br /> <br />is projected, though the State may say that we can book the money in advance of actually <br />receiving it. Ms. Beauregard said that other State revenue projections are based on the <br />Governor's proposed budget and could change. She said that the fire agreement with <br />Albemarle County is being phased out and ends in 2010. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling asked if this means that there will be a reduction in the number of <br />firefighters, and Mr. O'Connell said no. <br /> <br /> Ms. Beauregard said there has been a loss of revenue in commercial waste <br />disposal since the fee was increased, but an increase in residential. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell said this raises this issue of whether we should continue <br />commercial waste collection. <br /> <br />Ms. Beauregard said revenue sharing is up this year. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown asked that staff update Council if there are any significant changes in <br />revenues. <br /> <br /> Regarding expenditures, Mr. O'Connell said that funds are provided for the <br />capital improvement program and there is an increase of $1.4 million for schools. He <br />said that a review of agency requests has been done. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati said that last year $800,000 from additional State revenue was put in <br />the School CIP and he would like to recapture that since it was not used. Mr. Caravati <br />asked that staff update Dr. Brown and Ms. Hamilton on this issue. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch asked for an update on costs for the Juvenile and Domestic Relations <br />Court, and said he would like more information on the jail over five years. He said he <br />would like to see fund balances for all CIP projects. <br /> <br /> Regarding the budget document format, Dr. Brown said he would like an <br />explanation of what operating expenses includes. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he would like to see a detailed breakdown for each department <br />included in the budget document, similar to the way that the school budget breaks down <br />spending by each school. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown suggested that staff lay the groundwork for more detailed information <br />for future budget documents given the limited amount of time staff has to prepare the <br />budget. <br /> <br /> Council agreed to hold a community forum on the budget on Saturday, March 12 <br />at Tonsler Recreation Center. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />President Clerk <br /> <br /> <br />
