Accounts are reconciled quarterly to recognize revenue and ex- penditure variations from budgeted amounts. Major changes in the quarter ended June 30 were savings due to several vacant positions, offset by increased vehicle maintenance through Central Garage and swimming pool repairs. Only $104,000 of prior year reserves were needed to balance out 1995-96, leaving the City with well over the minimum fund balance needed to enter the new fiscal year. However, local use tax refunds remain a major question mark. The list of budget transfers will become part of the permanent record.
