The committee reviewed the General Fund, Water Fund, and Sewer Fund
preliminary budgets again.
Budget cuts of $39,920 were made in the General Fund. Discussion
regarding the 9th police officer. At the present time there are
8.5 F.T.E's.
Motion by Ron Marshall, seconded by Bob Graham, to recommend
increasing the police officer staffing to 9 officers. Motion
carried.
It was the consensus of the committee to leave the 9th man in the
preliminary budget. This could change depending on how the labor
negotiations and group health insurance situation comes out.
There is still some uncertainty in the Water Fund until final
construction figures are known, so that water rates can be
determined. Debt service and revenue were estimated as close as
possible at this time.
The Sewer Fund preliminary budget still has a difference of
$43,237. No more cuts can be made without jeopardizing the
operation of the system. Discussion regarding a sewer rate
increase.
Motion by Bob Graham, seconded by Gay Easton, to recommend a
9% increase in sewer rates. Motion carried.
The Capital Projects Fund was reviewed at this time. During the
past several years money has been set aside to purchase capital
equipment. Up to 5% of taxes collected can be transferred to the
Capital Projects Fund, along with other money such as Fire Dept.
Contract Revenue and Gas Tax Revenue.
The 1995-96 Capital Projects preliminary budget is as follows:
Computer equipment for Police Dept.
Land acquisition for Fire Dept./FAP
Complex
Vehicle for Fire Dept.
Vehicles for Street Dept.
Road Grader (patrol)
$ 31,000
10,000
