Next: follow-up budget-to-actual and loan-fund details were offered to councilmembers.

Special funds: two new Treasury positions, a proposed 0.5% levy for deferred building maintenance with two new staff, and about $300,000 of the electronic payments project proposed for reuse by Public Works.
Net 4.75 added positions, mostly in central services; unfilled jobs include a senior grant specialist and three fleet garage positions.
Results cited: $8.5 million in congressionally directed spending through the central grants office; AAA stable-outlook bond rating reaffirmed.
