BUBTAIRE, POLICE CNIEP COUNCILMEN H. M. HUFFMAN R. P. BRASWELL BILLY F. OWENB BILLY L. BYERS In accordance with Article 689 of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, herewith is submitted the Annual Budget of the City of Euless for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1963, and ending September 30, 1964. This includes an estimate of the anticipated revenues and necessary expenditures of the various operating departments of the City of Euless, as well as debt requirements for short term indebtedness, there being, at this time, no long term debt requirements. TAX STRUCTURE It is estimated that 1963 valuation will total approximately $136,500.00. Anticipating 96% collections and $19,302.00 to be applied to the Interest and Sinking Fund, a balance of approxi- mately $183,208.48 will be applied to the General Fund. The proposed tax structure requires a rate of $.70 per $100.00 valuation, based on 50% of actual valuation; this being divided whereby Interest and Sinking Fund requirements ($14,553.60) can be met from a levy of $.10; with the General Fund receiving the remaining $.60 ($183,208.48). This is the same tax rate as has been levied for the previous year. LAST YEARTS BUDGET PERFORMANCE The intention of this Budget, as well as previous Budgets, is to estimate revenues conservatively, appropriate expenditures intelligently and closely control financial operations throughout the year with efficient administration of all departments. The City of Euless has been able to accomplish this in previous Budgets, as well as the Budget for the fiscal year just finished. During the past year, General Fund revenues exceeded budget estimates by approximately $9,490.48; General Fund expenditures in all departments were totally underspent by approximately $11,816.46. Therefore, the budget position of last year's approved Budget was improved by $21,306.94. For the first time in several years, this year's budget does not contemplate any deficit carry over nor borrowing of monies for short term. MAJOR CHANGES This Budget generally follows the pattern of previous budgets with the exception of several significant changes involving policy, personnel and capital outlay in order to provide more efficient services for the Citizens of Euless. The major changes are as followst EMPLOYEE SOCIAL SECURITY Although procedures were initiated by the Council July 10, 1962, to qualify City of Euless Employees for social security benefits, the application was not accepted by the State Department of Public Welfare until February 26, 1963, being retroactive to January 1, 1963. Estimating the payroll at approximately $90,000.00 and using the $.0725 total rate, the total contribution would be about $6,930.00; or, $3,465.00 for the City's share (I-C-2), and, $3,465.00 contributed by employees via payroll deductions. January 1, 1964 is the date that the Social Security Escrow Savings Account at each Euless Bank will receive one-half (2) of the $6,930.00 fund. CITY SECRETARY A fulltime City Secretary has been employed to perform solely the duties of that office. This arrangement replaces the dual office of secretary -inspector as in the 1962-63 budget. (I-A-2) DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS Due to increasing work loads with new land subdevelopment, general maintenance to existing streets and various studies involving engineering, it is proposed that this position of Director of Public Works be created and filled when feasible during the 1963-64 fiscal period. Present engineering services will be met from this account (II-A-1) ($6,000.00) until the transition is made. This officer will serve as department head of those employees in Public Works. INSPECTOR Also, due to increased building activity, it is recommended that one employee be designated as City Inspector, to issue permits for building, make inspections to assure that all building is performed to City specifications, and to maintain a record of all properly licensed workers. (II-A-2) FIRE One paid fireman was provided for in the 1962-63 fiscal period, bat it was recommended that the position be left open until two firemen could be included in the budget due to shift - type hours. The new budget provides for two firemen, who in addition to answering alarms, would relieve at dispatching and assist, when necessary, with other City maintenance projects. Efficient fire control would be their paramount responsibility. Salary classification is III-A-1 at $4,000.00 per year for each fireman, CAPITAL OUTLAY There are three provisions for Capital Outlay accounts: General Government - Expanding Facilities and Park Site has been increased from the unused $4,000.00 of the 1962-63 period to $15,656.98 in the 1963-64 period; secondly, a street sweeper has been designated in public works due to increasing public requests, arid, an obvious need for this service. It is contemplated that this account would purchase a used truck -type sweeper, which would not demand the auxiliary requirement of a dump truck to carry dirt collection to the dump; this amount is $6,095.24; and, thirdly,, the 1963-64 budget makes provision for additional acquisition of one patrol car for the police department, increasing the patrol car number to four. Because of increasing police activity brought about by increasing population, a two car shift is recommended during peak hours. The amount set aside for four patrol cars with three trade in's is $5,190.00. SUMMARY The approved 1963-64 Annual Budget indicates an increase of approximately $50,842.27 over last year's Budget. This increase is necessary due to the significant changes outlined above, as well as the expansion of certain departments and increased costs of personnel, material, and equipment in all departments, including increased services to the p*blic. All of the department heads and City employees have expressed appreciation for the efforts, time and public spirit of the members of the City Council in providing a stable, secure and progressive City government. As stated in all previous budgets, the primary concern of this Budget is to meet the daily requirements of the City government; and, to provide the best possible services for the health, welfare and convenience, happiness and safety of the citizens consistent with the economicability of the City. It is hoped that this approved Annual Budget is in keeping with the desires of the citizenry with respect to the operation of a progressive City government; and, that the Budget document will provide the City Council with the necessary administrative machinery to plan for another successful year for the City of Euless.
