Budget Questions

I have read the entire city budget -- all 600 pages -- and I have a number of questions:

• Why are some department heads still slated for salary increases?
• Why is any management position slated for a salary increase?
  
• What are the exact positions (with salary and benefits) that are being cut?
  
• How many of those are currently not filled positions?
  
• Are any of the lay-offs resulting in people being moved from General Fund departments to Special Enterprise departments?
• How many people in management are being laid off?
• How many people making over $100,000 annually are being cut?
• What is the exact amount fore casted for revenue from the businesses listed in the budget as "revenue?" (i.e. TESLA, LB Studios, Vespa Motors, etc.)
  
• How much sales tax did the City give away to Best Buy?
• Why would the Mayor and City Manager propose cutting positions from parking ticket collections when it is a revenue producing department?

These are just for a start...there will be many more and I hope you will send me your questions as well.
