Estimating the GapTaken together, we project our total general fundrevenues will range from $290 million to $295million in FY11. This is an increase of $3 million to$7 million over FY10s operating budget.
On the expenditure side, we anticipate an increaseof $7 to $8 million, primarily for costs associated
with health, retirement, and debt service.
This results in an FY11 budget gap ranging from $3to $5 million for municipal services. The SchoolDepartment currently estimates their gap to be an
additional $6 million.
These estimates assume no increase to our laborcontracts.
