DISCUSSION During tlhe 1988-89 budget review workshops, the City Council tentatively approved i~noving the Cable Communications Office out of the General Fund and setting tap in a separate fund to be determined later. As a result of the renegotiations of the Sammons Cable Contract, the Cable Communications Offic e will become a separate entity under Special Trust Fund 72, and it will receive rl~venue from Sammons Cable. Since Cable Communications is neither profit motivated nor an internal service provider, it is proposed to separate it from tl~e General Fund as a Special Trust Fund. The 1988-•89 Appropriations Ordinance should be amended accordingly, deleting funds in ~~he amount of $150,000 budgeted in the General Fund Non-Departmental Account ~~0-13-00 for the Cable Communications-Office and deleting revenue in the amount; of $150,000 budgeted in the General Fund from cable franchise operations. ... ,..~ DATE REFERENCE NUMBER SUBJECT ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIAL PAGE TRUST FUND FOR CABLE COMMUNICA- 2 2 11-8-88 G-7810 TIONS A D MI R -- 1988-89 ADOPTED BUDGET The transfer of the Energy Management function is the. result of a management decision that the program would be more effective operating out of the Department of Law This tr ansfer involves an expenditure of $42,163 and one position The number reflected in the Proposed and Adopted Budget docume nts as the Fund Total for the Equipment Servi ces Fund is in error and should be corrected to read $10,403,358. mmc#2 Fldopted Ordinance No. ~~:~~:.~ - Establishing the Cable Office as a separate account APPROVED BY CITY COI~NCIL ~ ~~~~~- Hdu ted Ordinance Nop Decreasi n the estimated recei is g p in the General Fund ~ NOV $ 19~ - f~dUpted Ordlnanc~ NO,~~ Deappropriati ng from the General Fund /~~ ~, /...
