Copies of the 1992-93 preliminary budget were distributed
for review, before adoption on July 21st along with the preliminary
tax resolutions.
Jim reminded everyone that the encroachment application for
H & R Block is on the Council's agenda tonight. A $50 encroachment
permit fee and a $50 annual fee have been approved at prior
council meetings.
Jim reported on a letter received from the Department of
Commerce regarding the City's request to extend their municipal
building code jurisdictional area beyond the City limits. This
was denied (see copy of letter in tonight's correspondence). This
effects our improvements at.the solid waste site, drying beds at
the Wastewater treatment plant, the rest of the roofs on buildings
outside the City limits, and the Airport Authority. The total
fees for this work will cost between $14,000 and $15,000.
The contract with the City of Billings for next fiscal year
is on the agenda tonight. The dollar amount for compacted and
uncompacted garbage remains the same as last year.
Dave Michael reported that the crew is proceeding with the
water line on Wyoming Avenue. Weather permitting, they should have
it completed within the next few days.
Three tables have been installed in Thomson Park. Two in
the northwest corner and one by the concession stand. This is
part of the Thomson Park Project, which is a 50-50 grant from the
IS Fish, Wildlife and Parks. The final draw down has been sent to
Helena.

City Council Committee of the Whole meeting of June 16, 1992
Ron Marshall reported that he and Chuck Rodgers met with
Mr. Bob Coop regarding the Fire/Building inspectors position.
Mr. Coop is retired from the Billings Fire Department. They
exchanged ideas on how this position should be implemented.
Pay was discussed, which included a contract with him. He
would rather not pay FICA or PERS. However, if he is hired as
an employee he would have to pay FICA and PERS (works 960 hours
or more in a year).
The LVFD is knowledgeable when it comes to fire inspections,
but no one has the time.
Darrell McGillen said there will be a person at the council
meeting tonight to protest the fire billing he received for $450.
His trailer of .hay caught on fire outside the City limits and the
LVFD put it out.
Vicki Metzger prepared a computer list of City licenses
which will be presented under the committee reports tonight.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:53 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Ocl?-
