Fiscal Note
The attached budget amendment requires no subsidy of pool operations for the year 2007. Updated projections have indicated the need for a significant increase of budgetary authority for hourly wages, largely for lifeguards. This expenditure increase is to be offset mainly by the recognition of additional revenues and Foundation grants. The revised budget anticipates the generation of a small surplus of $1,189, which would be retained by the Municipal Pool special revenue fund. No appropriation is required, nor is any impact upon the levy anticipated.
