The committee met and discussed the following preliminary budgets:
FAP Building: Rick stated there were few changes due to the pending space
study. The committee recommended increasing the utilities by 5% or more. Gay
asked several questions relating to sharing space with the Ambulance Department,
as they need to meet the necessary space requirements to obtain a free computer.
9-1-1 Fund: This may be used to fund the Fire Department's new base radio and
repeater.
Police Department: Rick stated that the wages figure includes a request for
another officer position. He increased purchased services to upgrade his existing
computers and he told the committee that the Police Department will soon have
their statistical reports in a format that is acceptable for the State. Capital outlay
requests included funding to lease two more police cars.
Communications: These are basically the same as last year and include the 2.7%
wage increase.
Animal Control: Besides the 2.7% wage increase, it is the same as last year. Rick
stated that there is still a need for space to house dogs. The committee instructed
Rick to come up with some cost estimates.
The committee concluded the first round of the budget process. They instructed
Mary to make the necessary corrections and set up another meeting to review
figures and determine the next step.
Respectfully submitted,
Clerk-Treasurer
