MEMORANDUM 06-83

TO: Mayor Hornaday and Homer City Council

THRU: Walt Wrede, City Manager

FROM: Sheri Hobbs, Personnel

DATE: May 12, 2006

RE: Community Schools 2006 Budget Amendment

The City Council included $50,000 in the 2006 budget and has agreed to assume the program for one year. We are currently advertising the position of Community Schools Coordinator. The next step is to set up an account in the General Fund for Community Schools and to transfer the $50,000 that was budgeted in the City Contribution account to the Community Schools account.

It is anticipated that we will generate $15,000 in class fees with the summer and winter program. In addition to the $50,000 already budgeted there should be a sufficient amount to cover the program for July to December of 2006.

RECOMMENDATION:

Budget amendment to:

Remove line item 100-350-5812 and allocate $50,000 to accounts in 100-115-5XXX
