CITY HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman- Donna Kilpatrick Gay Easton Bob Graham Chuck Rodgers Don Hackmann Ron Marshall OTHERS PRESENT: Dave Michael Don mentioned that the preliminary budget probably won't be completed and presented to the City Council until July 19th. The County Commissioner will make a decision by June 30th on whether they will add 112•°6 to the vehicle license fee. If they do, Laurel will get approximately $48.400. This amount should be included in the preliminary budget and possibly add back some of the expenditure cuts that were made, such as the police car and radios. It was suggested also, that part of it should go back into the cash reserves, because we had to use approximately $94,000 to balance the budget. The Budget/Finance Committee meeting scheduled for July 5th will be held July 7th at 4:30 p.m. to review the claims. This will allow a couple of more days for end of the year bills to get processed. A special council meeting will be needed on July 7th at 5:00 p.m. to approve the June claims. Awarding the 1993-94 audit bid is on the council agenda tonight. Steve Cosner, CPA, was the only bidder and he is on the states temporary roster. Steve is being audited himself and won't get on the permanent roster until after the audit is completed. The state requires that anyone or firm needs to be on the states permanent roster which allows them to do government audits. It was suggested to award the bid to Steve Cosner, contingent on him getting placed on the states permanent roster. The Budget/Finance committee approved the purchase of two used speakers, for the council chambers, from Chris Shay, in the amount of $80.00. It was reported that the new ambulance and a city police car were involved in a fender bender at 3:30 a.m. on June 20th.
