Budget Introduction
The total approved City of Salina budget for 1996 anticipates expen-
dihlres of $40,890,197. The budget is comprised of an operating
budget of $28,994,814, a capital budget of $5,410,380 and a debt
service budget of$6,485,003.
The operating budget funds the general operation of City programs
such as police, fire, streets, parks and recreation through the General
Fund. The General Fund is financed primarily by the property tax,
sales tax, vehicle and franchise taxes and various fees.
Enterprise funds are also funded in the operating budget. Enterprise
funds are expected to be self-sufficient, relying on charges for service.
They comprise over 30 percent of the total city budget. The four
enterprise funds which the City of Salina operates are: Sanitation,
Solid Waste, Mm1Ícipal Golf Course, and Water and Wastewater.
Retirement of the City's outstanding debt is also a component of the
1996 budget. This debt is made up of municipal bonds, issued to pay
for major capital improvement projects. This year, 15.9 percent of the
budget will go into paying debt service. All General Obligation debt
is scheduled to be retired within ten years. All Revenue bonds for the
Enterprise funds are scheduled to be retired within 20 years. The City
of Salina remains well under all laws and standards for pmdent
amounts of municipal debt outstanding and the City's bonds carry
excellent ratings from national bond rating services.
The capital budget provides funds for the constmction of major City
facilities and infrastructure by cash when municipal bonds are not
used, and for the replacement of vehicles and equipment. This budget
represents 13.2 percent of the total City budget for 1996. It is financed
through fees, general taxes, gasoline taxes and other budgeted rev-
enues.

1996 Anticipated Revenue
The City budget is financed through a wide variety of revenues. The Tax Supported Funds
receive most of their revenue from various taxes. The Enterprise Funds are supported
mainly by charges for services. The remaining funds of the City are supported by several
revenue types. For 1996, the City anticipates total revenues to be about $40,115,808.
Tax Supported Funds
The activities ofthe tax supported funds are supported by a variety of revenue sources. For
1996, the total anticipated revenues for these funds are $22,058,579. Sales taxes now
make up 38.31 percent of the revenues for these general activities (21.06 percent of all city
revenues). The property tax accounts for 24.09 percent of tax supported funds revenues
( 13 .24 percent of all city revenues). The 1996 City property tax is 27.145 mills per
thousand dollar valuation on taxable property. A mill levy is a tax assessed on real
property. A one mill increase would raise $1.00 for every $1,000 of the assessed value of
real property. For example, a house assessed at $10,000 would be taxed $10.00 at a I mill
level.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds are to be self-supporting based upon the revenue received for services
rendered. Thus, these funds do not receive any tax revenues. Anticipated fee revenues
of$13,914,600 make up over 99% of the $13,956,533 in anticipated revenue for these
funds. Water and sewer revenues of$9,695,000 make up the majority of these fees.
All Other Funds
Some of these funds have dedicated revenues which must be used in a specific manner. The
$1,300,000 from the gas tax must be used for street construction, repair or maintenance.
The $715,000 from the transient guest tax must be used for tourism and convention
development. Other revenues represent fees for services. The Bicentennial Center will
collect about $674,000 from charges for services. Our Infonnation Services Department
