Financial Report
The City of Kodiak’s budget
for the present year antici
pates an increase over the
past year by $10,000, the city’s
annual financial report shows. |
(See adjoining page) I
However, receipts for the
past fiscal year are over $29,
000 above those for 1949-50.
“This increase came from the
three mill levy for the street
fund, the increase from liquor
licenses due to population
growth, the general property
tax increase due to greater
valuation and the new ac
1 counts in the water and sewer
department,” Mayor Lee C.
Bettinerer said. ;
Under expenditures Bet
tinger explained that the bud
get for street and equipment
maintenance provides for only
the present street system. He
said that additional street
lights are to be installed and
that the present meter system
indicates a saving in electrical
cost. Earlier, the city was not
on a meter for lights.
“The major expense in the
operation of the water system
was due to the emergency
pumping caused by drought,
freeze-ups and inadequate
storage,” Bettinger declared.
“It is anticipated the new
reservoir will be in operation
during the present fiscal
year.”
The balance sheet for the
past year reveals a surplus of
$12,967.95. The budget for
the present year shows an ex
pected surplus of $43,000.
Bettinger pointed out. ‘ ‘From
this surplus the council will
budget fixed assets for the
current year. We are con
sidering buying some street
equipment, a new fire truck,
pay for engineering services
on the water and sewer exten
sions and street improvement
program, and complete Sixth
avenue which provides access
to the new school site.”
‘‘During the past five years
Kodiak has enjoyed a rapid
growth. In 1947 the city's
receipts were but $87,945
while this year we believe
they will total nearly $165,000.
In 1947 the fixed assests were
$37,852 while today they are
close to a quarter million
dollars,” the mayor said.
The assessed valuation of
the city for 1951-52 has been
set at over four million dol
lars.
