WILSON CITY MANAGER 1 2 CITY COUNCIL JOHN COOK ANN MORGAN LILLY , DISTRICT 1 MAYOR SUSANNAH M. BYRD , DISTRICT 2 EMMA ACOSTA , DISTRICT 3 MELINA CASTRO , DISTRICT 4 RACHEL QUINTANA , DISTRICT 5 JOYCE WILSON EDDIE HOLGUIN JR., DISTRICT 6 CITY MANAGER STEVE ORTEGA , DISTRICT 7 BETO O’R OURKE , DISTRICT 8 OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER Honorable Mayor, Members of City Council and Citizens of El Paso, I am pleased to present the Adopted fiscal year 2009 budget. This budget was developed in the midst of considerable economic uncertainty, thus we approached it with a great deal of caution. No major service increases or new initiatives are included in this budget. The Adopted All Funds FY 2009 Budget is $689.36 million, which represents a 3.83% increase over the FY 2008 Adopted Budget. The Adopted FY 2009 General Fund Budget is $315.83 million, an 8.29% increase over the Adopted FY 2008 Budget and a 3.80% increase over the FY 2008 Adjusted Budget. The variances are due to full year funding of the new Public Health Department which was transferred to the City’s General Fund on January 1, 2008 and approximately $4.2 million in parks and recreation fees, and corresponding appropriations, that previously were accounted for in special fund accounts. Authorized All Funds positions were reduced from 6,306.37
