The Turlock City Council directed City Manager Gary Hampton on Tuesday to move forward with a “baseline” budget proposal for 2017-18 and 2018-19 that will not address any of the staffing shortfalls presented by City department heads at the previous budget workshop. The proposed General Fund budgets maintain status quo operational service levels from the previous fiscal years with approximately $177,000 in deficit spending forecast for 2017-18 and $86,000 in deficit spending for 2018-19. The City is not expected to end the budgets years in a deficit, however, as over the past several years there has been $300K to $500K in unspent funds or surplus, according to Hampton.
