All requests for new personnel, equipment, or ProJecte <br />! are to be deferred until reviewed and approved by the <br />, Mayor-elect for presentation to the new council. <br /> H.

I wish also to present a budget that will Offer maximum <br />, <br /> O. flexibility and the greatest possibility far edJUStments by the new <br /> mayor who will assume the duties of administration in a little more <br />'j" , than 120 days. <br />'4, Revenue Outlook <br /> , We are projecting that our actual gdneral government revenues for <br /> 1 1989 will exceed budgeted revenues by approxinmtely 5%. %Our <br />, projections for 1990 show overall growth in general government <br /> revenues in excess of 9% or about $3.8 million. Of this, $1.3 <br /> 1 <br />
