City of Salina
Budget Introduction
The total approved City of Salina budget for 1995 anticipates expen-
ditures of $38,542,351. The budget is comprised of an operating
budget of $27,429,509, a capital budget of $5,021,540 and a debt
service budget of$6,091,302.
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 20 percent of the total city budget. The four
enterprise funds which the City of Salina operates are: Sanitation,
Solid Waste, Municipal Golf Course, and Water and Sewerage.
Retirement of the City's outstanding debt is also a component of the
1995 budget. This debt is made up of municipal bonds, issued to pay
for major capital improvement projects. This year, 15.8 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 prudent
am~ounts of municipal debt outstanding and the City's bonds carry
excellent ratings from national bond rating services.
The capital budget provides funds for the construction 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 13.0 percent of the total City budget for 1995. It is financed
through fees, general taxes, gasoline taxes and other budgeted rev-
enues.

1995 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 1995, the City anticipates total revenues to be about $37,478,086.
Tax Supported Funds
The activities ofthe tax supported funds are supported by a variety of revenue sources. For
1995, the total anticipated revenues for these funds are $20,568,054. Sales taxes now
make up 38.18 percent of the revenues for these general activities (20.95 percent of all city
revenues). The property tax accounts for 24.41 percent of tax supported funds revenues
(13.40 percent of all city revenues). The 1995 City property tax is 28.709 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 1 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$12,270,000make up 95.13%ofthe $12,898,700 in anticipated revenue for these funds.
Water and sewer revenues of$9,203,000 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 $650,000 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 $663,000 from charges for services. Our Data Processing and Central
Garage will collect almost $1,150,797 in charges from various City departments and
Saline County. Total anticipated revenues for all these funds is $4,011,332.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
State law requires the City to complete and submit the 1995 budget in early
August 1994. As a result, events or trends which develop after August are not reflected
in the 1995 budget. Many times, these events have little bearing on overall financial
condition. This is not true for the last five months of 1994.
During this time period, the City, in conjunction with Saline County and the State
of Kansas, agreed to undertake reconstruction of Schilling Road to improve flood pro-
tection for the City. The City's $300,000 share will be paid for fTom the General fund.
Even with this additional expenditure, year-end fund balances for tax-supported funds
will be approximately $200,000 higher than earlier estimates.
Because Salina went through a dry summer season, water revenues have shown a
sizeable increase for 1994. This, combined with lower than expected operating costs
for the new sewer plant, will make the 1994 year-end balance in the Water and Sewer
fund over one million dollars higher than earlier estimates. The lower operating costs
should continue on into future operations.
Besides the Schilling Road Drainage Improvements, the City has also approved
adding three other projects to the 1995 capital improvement program: design of the
Walnut bridge improvement, construction removing the "S" curve on Centennial and
acquisition of right-of-way for the Magnolia interchange project. At this point, it ap-
pears these one-time capital costs can be funded easily by the 1995 budget.
Overall, the financial stability of the City continues to be enhanced by the events
of the last few months. Detailed financial infonnation on 1994 will be available in early
1995.
