A motion was made by Vice Mayor Aubrey and seconded by Councilman Norris to adopt on
first reading Ordinance 2013 -11 entitled:

RELIEF AND AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS FROM THE

EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Green noted that currently, any year -end savings within the General Fund are rolled into the
unassigned fund balance and are not available for the upcoming fiscal year budget unless a formal
budget amendment ordinance is adopted at a future date. Mr. Green reported the proposed
ordinance would create a General Fund Reserve for Future Tax Relief for the purpose of transferring
a designated amount of surplus funds into a reserve account, which may only be used to offset a
potential increase to the millage rate. Mr. Green advised that $442,833 of year -end surplus from
the current General Fund Budget would roll into the reserve fund and any funds not utilized for
Fiscal Year 2013 -2014 could be used in subsequent years as part of the budget adoption process.
Discussion ensued regarding the anticipated amount of savings from the Fiscal Year 2012 -2013
General Fund Budget.
Thereafter, the motion to adopt Ordinance 2013 -11 on first reading passed unanimously.
