LCRA has <br />very carefully attempted to present the Ci ty with a budget <br />that ref1ects the slow economic conditions and yet budget <br />enough funds to provide fast, reliable and efficient service <br />to the citizens of San Marcos. <br /> <br />LCRA (San Marcos) has maintained system operations for the last <br />five years with the same number of employees; forty-one full time <br />positions and two part time positions. No additional positions <br />are being requested for the coming year even though there continues <br />to be a steady increase in customer service due to the University <br />environment which constantly is bringing in new customers (every <br />semester) and graduating existing customers. The operating budget <br />will be sufficient to cover expenses as long as inflation and city <br />growth rates remain the same. Unusual damages to the system caused <br />by wind, ice, lightning, flood, etc., could also cause a need for <br />modification. <br /> <br />The construction budget will be sufficient to cover expenses as <br />long as unusual changes do not occur in areas such as: <br /> <br />1. <br />2. <br /> <br />Inflati on rate <br /> <br />City growth rate increase <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Changes in line extension policy <br />
