2009-2010 Biennial Budget Development
Interdepartmental Correspondence Sheet City of Cincinnati June 2, 2008 To: Mayor and Members of City Council From: Milton Dohoney, Jr., City Manager Subject: 2009/2010 Biennial Budget Development The purpose of this document is to begin the process of developing budget priorities and policies that will guide the development of the 2009/2010 Biennial Budget. It provides information useful to the Mayor and the City Council in crafting the 2009/2010 Policy Budget priorities. It is anticipated that the City Council will adopt a list of 2009/2010 Policy Budget priorities at its June 18, 2008 meeting, which identifies City Council’s service priorities given resource constraints. It is important to consider the General Fund forecast, the budget policy considerations, and significant budget issues when developing policy priorities for the upcoming biennium. These items provide the context for informed decisions. In addition, since we are again facing resource constraints, I ask that City Council consider providing guidance on service reductions and/or resource increases to help offset the expenses associated with any new or enhanced spending initiatives. An updated General Fund Forecast is provided reflecting the revised revenue estimates and expenditure estimates for 2009 through 2012. As noted in the 2008 Budget Update Process and confirmed in the 2007 Year End Close Report, the City’s combined Working Capital Reserve and General Fund Balance is short of the minimum standard of 10% of annual General Fund revenue. To balance the 2008 Budget, $3.5 million of the 2007 carryover was used. Preliminary resources and expenditures detailed in the Tentative Tax Budget indicate that this structural deficit will continue in 2009.

SUMMER 1992" Ment Stores, but I Thought the Smithsonian Is Family New World Dutch Barn in Montgomery Supposed to Be an Institution That Preserves, Inter County
A Quarterl Journal of Historical Preservation Volume 2. Number 3 "To dye for •••" "We'd like you to do an indigo dye-pot." The request came from Historic Bethlehem, a Pennsylvania pioneer site with an active pro gram of living history and re-enactment. To dyers with little experience with this early dye, the request was welcome. Indigo provides a true blue that lasts the life of the fiber on which it is used. The very word evokes images of Eliza Pinckney striving to master the complex process of fermentation on her South Caro lina plantation. We have also found refer ences to indigo being imported and sold in colonial Philadelphia. A magical opportunity to work with this costly dye and forge alink with its past users beckoned. We'd like you to be as authentic as possible." Since the members of Past Mas ters enjoy working as accurately as we can, following period receipts and trying not to let 20th-century ways intrude into 18th-century processes, these were equally welcome words. Indigo is easily, if expensively, purchased from weavers' and dyers' supply houses. There is a cheaper modern synthetic avail able, buttor us no discussion was needed. We purchased half a pound of "the real stuff," which looks like bright blue coal. Pulverizing it is tedious, time-consuming work. I often longed for a small cannonball, which would have made the job SO much easier. Its use was described by J. and R. Bronson in 1817: liThe common method of grinding indigo by hand is to suspend an iron pot, of a suitable size, with a rope, and using a cannon .ball, which is rolled round by taking hold ofthe legs with the hands...

Protest and Resistance Movement of the Weavers of Santipur
( 97 ) Chapter- III Protest and resistance movement of the Weavers of Santipur Bengal alias India had coined its name and had a standing in the history of the textile industry since long and that we have discussed already. Speaking of Bengal muslin would obviously refer to the ones produced Dacca. On the other hand though not that famous like Dacca yet another place remarkable for finer woven fabric was Santipur. Both the places were noted for their fine woven fabrics in the undivided Nadia districL The places were significant for producing it calls for a discussion on muslin. Cotton or Carpus weaving is an ancient practice in India. The muslin in Bengal was also known as 'Carpasium'. These are all derived from the Sanskrit word 1 Carp as.- that the word calico was derived from the 2 of Cali cut was famous. It is said that for many years the overseas traders collected muslin fabrics from the port of Macchlipattam near Madras. Some says that the Turkish emperor used to wear turbans made of muslins collected from India and hence Indian muslin was in great demand "In the 17th century due to the fear of the Portuguese pirates across the Bay ofBengal, traveling became difficult and risky, weavers in Mosal, the capital city of Turkey then, started weaving fabrics like that of Bengal's finer variety of textile. The name muslin was thus derived. Though we consider 'machhlip' as 3 the more appropriate origin for muslin. "The aristocratic section of the society generally used muslin clothes more. A length of 10 yards by 1 yards muslin would cost Rs 60 -80.
