City Treasurer/Finance Director Terry Compton presented the final budget for FY 2004/2005 in the amount of $35,032,145, including the Shawnee Municipal Authority budget of $9,576,562 and the Shawnee Airport Authority budget of $281,786.
In Commission’s discussion about their request to have a $500,000 carryover in the fund balance, that amount would be reached if an additional funds of $1.25 million be transferred from the Shawnee Municipal Authority.
Upon further discussion, several commissioners voiced their concerns about the practice of transferring from the SMA account to the general fund account stating it was not prudent financial planning although it was noted that it was not illegal to use the utility funds to operate.
Also this budget would include a thirty percent (30%) increase in water and sewer rates.
It was the Commission’s consensus not to transfer an additional $250,000 from SMA to the general fund and staff find ways to raise the anticipated general fund carryover at the end of the fiscal year to $500,000.
Mayor Mills noted that the budget would need to be monitored on a quarterly basis.

Resolution No. 6196 entitled “A resolution approving and adopting the budget for the City of Shawnee, Oklahoma for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005 finding all things requisite and necessary have been done in preparation and presentation of said budget.”
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Peterson, seconded by Commissioner Hadley, that the Title and Resolution be approved with the amendments that $250,000 not be transferred from the SMA funds, which leaves $1 million to be transferred from SMA; and the ending fund balance for fiscal year 2004-2005 have a fund balance of $500,000. Motion carried.
AYE: Peterson, Hadley, Downing, Claybrook, Schrzan, O’Neal, Mills
NAY: None
Thereupon Mayor Mills declared Resolution No. 6196 duly passed and adopted.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Consider an ordinance increasing water usage rates and the sanitary sewer rates for the City of Shawnee and its consumers.
