The first regular city council meeting in 2020 had a major schedule change due to measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, but the first budget for the Reiwa era was successfully passed, so we would like to provide an overview.
This year's budget formulation was based on three points: maintaining sound finances, ensuring citizen safety and disaster prevention and mitigation measures, securing new financial resources, and prioritizing measures.
The amount of the general account budget was 37,324 million yen, the largest ever, an increase of 1,630 million yen, or 4.6% compared to the previous fiscal year.
In terms of revenue, the core city tax is expected to increase by 1.2% to 15,526,040,000 yen due to an increase in the number of municipal tax payers and an increase in the number of newly built and expanded houses, and a temporary provision of the national treasury's burden for the first year for free early childhood education. Due to the total reduction in local funds, special local grants will decrease by 54.5%, and due to the revision of the consumption tax rate, local consumption tax grants will increase by 34.9%, but the standard fiscal revenue amount will increase accordingly, resulting in a 25.3% decrease in local allocation taxes. Although there have been some changes due to system revisions, we were able to secure 18,875.67 million yen in total general revenue, an increase of 1.6%.
The main works include renovation of the air conditioning equipment in the main building of City Hall, construction of the second and third parking lots at City Hall, construction of a cycle cafe (tentative name), improvement of City Road 171, improvement of Route 3, 4, and 12 Yomiuri Land Line, and school lunch service. Including the rebuilding and relocation of one kitchen, the total construction-related expenses will be over 3.6 billion yen. Of this amount, approximately 1.75 billion yen is related to the construction work of the first kitchen, but due to delays in the delivery of construction materials, the completion of the building itself was also delayed, and this budget was carried over from fiscal 2019. , the initial budget for FY2020 has become the largest.
Next, we will introduce distinctive budgets for each policy issue.
