President Laurant noted that Scott had responded to the Crystal Council questions about the 2009 West Metro budget. Scott also reviewed the process for developing the 2009 budget with the West Metro budget committee. There was discussion regarding the budget process, the timing of the audit so information is available for the budget process, presenting the budget so revenues and expenditures are reflected, presenting the budget so that previous years' actual and year-to- date expenditures are shown, and explaining why the fire budget Crystal City Council Joint Work Session minutes with New Hope City Council and WMFRD July 23, 2008 Page 1649 had actually increased 3% but the impact to the cities is closer to 6%. There was discussion about the fund balance policy and status, getting the minor capital budget to be more stable over future years by determining an average cost with modest annual increases, and including information about minor capital items that have been deferred. It was agreed that the board and both councils would likely support a 2009 West Metro budget that requires no more than a 4.5% increase in both cities' contribution to West Metro operations, provided the audit shows no significant changes in balances. There was discussion about including truck maintenance in the purchase estimates and removing those expenses from the minor capital budget.
