No.77 Initial budget for FY2018

We would like to provide an overview of the initial budget for the new fiscal year that was approved at the first regular city council meeting.
The size of the general account budget for FY2018 was 34.5 billion yen, an increase of 2.36 billion yen, or 7.3%, from the previous year.
Based on the Fourth Long-term Comprehensive Plan, this year's budget promotes the achievement of the goals set forth in the Inagi City Comprehensive Strategy for Town, People, and Job Revitalization, and prioritizes citizen safety while continuing to support areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and other disasters. We are working on disaster prevention and mitigation measures.
In terms of revenue, city tax revenue will increase by approximately 160 million yen (1.1%) due to an increase in the number of municipal tax payers and fixed asset appraisal changes, but on the other hand, local consumption tax will increase due to a review of liquidation standards. Grants decreased by approximately 206 million yen (12.5%). This decrease was partially compensated for by an increase in local allocation tax of approximately 155 million yen, and combined with other increased revenues, the total general revenue increased by 0.9%, somehow managing to maintain the same amount.
This year's main construction works include large-scale renovation of the Third Junior High School building, installation of air conditioning equipment in science rooms at each elementary school, acquisition of land for school lunch kitchen No. 1, reconstruction and relocation work, Wakabadai Park multipurpose plaza ground improvement work, and Park baseball field parking lot improvement work, new construction of assembly facilities under the elevated Nambu Line (Yanoguchi), meal delivery service facilities, etc. (Higashi-Naganuma) improvement work, life support service base (Kouyodai) renovation work, high-temperature water pipes using residual heat Plumbing work (municipal hospital), Ta 7, 4, and 5 (from Sanchu-mae to Keio Line) maintenance work, Ta 3, 4, and 12 Yomiuri Land Line maintenance work, Ta 3, 4, and 36 tunnel (from Kamihirao to Odara) Maintenance work, etc. The projects listed here alone are large projects totaling approximately 3 billion yen, and are the main reason for the increase in this year's budget.
