This<br>updated budget gap for 2010-2011 represents 10.8% of the projected expenditures for next<br>year. The increase in the shortfall reflects the net impact of lower estimated expenditure<br>levels ($29.4 million) that are more than offset by lower projected revenue levels ($34.2<br>million). The most significant changes include: net downward adjustments to a number of<br>the economically sensitive revenue estimates and the 2009-2010 Ending Fund Balance/201 02011<br>Beginning Fund Balance assumption; downward adjustments to the revenue and<br>expenditure estimates for the Development Fee Programs; lower cost assumptions for the<br>increased retirement contributions necessary in 2010-2011; and lower base costs resulting<br>from the analysis of actual expenditure trends and updated debt service costs."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2010 8:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Public safety agencies want D Block for themselves, FCC still seeking auction]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/public-safety-agencies-want-d-block-for-themselves-fcc-still-se/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/public-safety-agencies-want-d-block-for-themselves-fcc-still-se/</guid><description><![CDATA[@wraith404 So 91 million means they cant afford it?
