Reviewed and approved a resolution to transfer funds from the
General Fund operating cash to the CTEP Fund for the purpose of
matching funds for sidewalks- Laurel Grant.
Reviewed the overtime reports for May.
Discussed the recent wage and position classification study.
Reviewed the 1996-97 preliminary budget summary worksheet. Don
presented the changes to the General Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund,
and Police Reserve Fund.
40 There was a lengthy discussion regarding a rate increase for the
sewer fund. After making budget cuts as much as possible, there
was still a 1996-97 budget deficit of approximately $91,000.
Suggested rate increases ranged from 12o to 25%. The sewer plant
is very expensive to run due to high maintenance. Also in the
future an expansion to the plant will be required to handle any
large annexations. Because the expansion cost is not known at the
present time it was suggested that a rate increase of 125k to 13°s be
considered at this time.
Motion by Gay Easton, to recommend a 12o sewer increase.
Motion died for a lack of a second.
Motion by Bud Johnson, seconded by Dirk Kroll, to recommend a
13% sewer rate increase for 1996-97 (approximately $64,000) and to
use an additional $27,000 from cash reserve to balance the 1996--97
budget. Motion carried, with Gay Easton voting "No".
Paul Strom and Rosie Barndt from Sam Boggess and Associates
presented the revised 1994 and 1995 audit reports.
Discussion regarding the Firemen's Relief Association. The state
of Montana considers the association as a component unit of the
city and recommends that they be included in the city audit. This
decision has to be made by the City, whether to include them or
not. The committee will make a recommendation at a later date.
The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Chuck Rodgers
Jim and Dave related to the committee concerns about a
$24,000 shortfall for the sewer fund for the 1996--97 fiscal
year. Due to an error in the budgeting process this amount
was not listed as revenue. The Budget and Finance Committee
had directed Dave to prepare a rate increase of $1.91 per month
per customer to cover projected shortfalls at the time.
Committee had an extensive discussion about transferring
monies from the WWTP Rep. & Depr. Fund and the Sewer Operating
Fund to balance the budget.
Motion by Ron Marshall, seconded by Dave Michael, to have
a $1.91 rate increase and take monies from the above two funds
to balance. More discussion. Ron Marshall withdrew his motion
and Dave Michael withdrew his second.
Motion by Ron Marshall, seconded by Miles Walton, to have
a $3.10 per month, per customer, rate increase. This hopefully
would eliminate the need of having to come back next year for
another increase. Motion Carried.
. Discussion concerning the proposed good--will repayment
program for individuals who had suffered damages relating to
sewer problems. Jim indicated he would assemble materials and
present to the committee at their next meeting.

RESOLUTION NO. R96-42
ALLOCATING MATCHING CTEP FUNDS FOR SOUTH
POND PROJIt:CT
Motion by Alderman Kroll that Resolution No. R96-42 be passed and adopted,
seconded by Alderman Marshall.
Mayor Rodgers stated that the funds would help the Lions Club to improve the
recreation area at South Pond Park.
Lonnie Kellogg, representing Lions Club, explained that the club will pay for a
grant writer to apply for CTEP funds. The Lions Club is asking the city to
dedicate $3,500.00 out of the Park Development Fund for the matching CTEP funds,
provided a grant is approved for development of South Pond.
Alderman Walton stated that Lonnie Kellogg presented the plans to the Park
Committee and the Lions Club has done a good job with it. The development of
South Pond would be a nice view from the interstate and look great for Laurel.
He expressed that it is nice that a club is taking an interest and stepping
forward to fund a project for the beautification of Laurel. The Park Committee
recommended the city support the Lions Club project and their application for
funds, as long as it does not exceed the $3,500.00 allocated from the CTEP
funds.
A vote was taken on the motion. Motion carried 7--0.

BEING A RESOLUTION SPECIFYING A PERMANENT SEWER RATE
TO BECOME EFFECTIVE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER BEING FILED
WITH MUNICIPAL CLERK AND REVISED RATE SCHEDULE FILED
WITH THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Alderman Marshall referred to the Public Utilities Committee minutes of August
29, 1996. There were concerns about a $24,000.00 shortfall for the sewer fund
for the 1996-97 fiscal .Year. The amount was overlooked in the budgeting process
and was not listed as revenue. The committee discussed transferring monies from
the. W+iTP Replacement and Depreciation Fund and the Sewer Operating Fund to
balance the budget. It was decided to have an average $3.10 per month, per
customer, rate increase. This hopefully would eliminate the need of having to
come back next year for another increase.
Alderman Easton read the Budget/Finance Committee minutes of June 12,'1996. It
was recommended a 13% sewer rate increase for 1996-97 (approximately $64,000.00)
and to use an additional $27,000.00 from the cash reserve to balance the
1996-1997 budget. He explained that this proceeded to the city council meetings
before the budget was passed. There was discussion and the resolution was
written-to accept, the 13%. The resolution to accept the sewer rate was passed on
August 6, 1996. It was then found-that a monthly cash transfer in the sewer fund
was overlooked during the budget process. The Public Utilities Committee meeting
Mi>,lutes of the Gigs Cow, of braurcl
F-,xgc 6
Council FkceL•ine of September 3, 19'.)b
of Augur. t Z9, 1996 d.isr..ussed sLayintt with the 13% increase but it was
r=
recomnt^_nde:l to go with a lU% increase. ay f,,els that the decision made by the
c,:unc.il, rel)resenUlnc! the Peor'L" of Laurel, asking l:or a 1336 i.ncr.easc to bratance
the b,-rclget should ;Land. He rJoa's t?oL' L'e -L it is a good 1,.lea to come back with a
diL'fcreot raise.
hlot.ion by r1lcl?rul;in IFti3Lrsn to go along with 'Lhe x1.92 (.13%) average rate
increase, seconded by Alderwoman Kilpatrick.
Gay said the budget is balanced, the money can be transferred from the WWTP
Replacement Fr DepreciaLion Fund or the Sewer Operating Fund and all obligations
are protected.
ALderwroman KilpaL'rick stated rie agrees with Gay and the sewer increase should
slay at 1;l%. The monoy is in the budget and it is just a matter of a transfer if
necdcd.
Alderman Walton explai.r,cd that discus:?ion at the Pitbiic Utilities Committee
mef?tinc; was that the city would be sp-:nding too much of its reserves. If there
was any small glitch i,n the system, it would use the reserves up. There was a
shorLfal 1-, tilt the P,,1-tduet./Finance Committ 'e, did not have the full facts when
they made the decision. The city could be looking at another increase next year
to keep the resr;Cues where they are. He was in favor of a 20% increase to keep
the reserves adequate.
Gay's concern is asst.rming something is going to happen with no ide,-t how much the
cost; would be. Thv rr is nothing in bl..,tclc clad white to show the talassess. It ti
:.hc
not known if the ci Ly will nFr,ed 'to use the reserve, y
taxpayers with a healthier sewer increase.
Al.derma,n Johnson wants .-to look in the direction that the city is headed. The
city knows, for a. fact., that things will need to be done in the future at the
s,_rwer plant. To run it at a Level which is not supporting the expenses that, the
city alrr.ady has, clues not r.•epuesenf: r.e:apotasil i„lity. In )zcler to balance the
budget at the rate of 13%, the city will be lasing reserves that would be there
in case somcL•hing happens. If the ciL:- goes, with the 20% rata as discussed at
the i1L.i.1iL.ies Committee, then the city has a chance of ba1;rincin9 a more
responsible hurl+;c t. fie does not feel it makes sense to cut the city short. Ile
undersLands Gn.y's point and m,?a:i.n'tai.n:_; that there is another side to it and
thinks the council needs to look at it very carcfull;'. It does not make sense to
cut the city sl,GrL when there are th:i.nc_:s that need to be done in the future. One
example or not keeping up is the water plant. As a c,?-i.zen, .t astounds hin that
the city did nnL realize i:hat the water r- tes would have to be doubled in one
year. lfe does not think this is respon:;ible.and does not wan L' to see that happen
Ito the sewer pliant.
Msayor Rodgers stated that; both sides hive good views. In the bast the city has
raised the sewer rate just about yearl:, seven to ei5lit percent. There has not
been an increat,,e i.n water since 1991. The cash on hand is there if needed. There
is good nranagemeraL in keeping up with the mainLenance..
