  - MAYOR’S MESSAGE-

The Honorable Jay West, Vice Mayor
Members of the Metropolitan Council

Dear Vice Mayor West and Members of the Council:

With this submission, I comply with my duties under the Metropolitan Charter to submit a balanced budget for consideration by the Metropolitan Council. This budget is based on departments receiving a 5% cut with funding added back for the 3% pay plan and fringe benefits. This budget is a reflection of tightening back expenses to meet revenue expectations.

In addition to the departmental budgets being funded, there were areas that were considered mandatory to be funded and these were addressed in this budget as well. Some of the areas addressed include contractual increases for Medical Examiner, Sheriff, Health Department and Juvenile Court. Funds were added for the local subsidy for MTA, Insurance Reserves, additional recycling funds and full year funding for the courts that were established last year.

New accounts were established for the Economic and Job Development Incentive Program, the Housing Fund, Regional Transit Authority and the Millennium Celebration, as well as some funds added to the contingency account fund.

These are just some of the highlights of the FY2000 Budget. I encourage your careful examination of this budget. I, along with my staff, stand ready to assist you in the review of this document.

Warmest regards,

/s/ Philip Bredesen
Mayor
