Mary is still working on year-end closing and has asked Don Hackmarm to come in to assist. There
have been delays, however, mostly caused by computer problems. The committee approved Mary's
request to transfer $15,000 from the General Fund to the Capital Improvements Fund for computer
equipment.
The budget was discussed at length. Particular areas included: Fire Relief Association, Capital Outlay
list revisions, General Fund and some alternatives to move some accounts from the General Fund into
either Special Revenue Fund or Special Assessment Funds. Mary will meet with Norm Klein later in
the week for advice on these alternatives and assistance with determination of the "floating mill."
Due to the delays with year-end closing, Mary asked the committee to recommend at council that a
special meeting be held to approve claims, since they will not be ready by .August 3rd. The committee
will recommend a special meeting be held on August l0th for the purpose of approving July claims.
The matter will be put on the August 3ra agenda.
The next Budget/Finance meeting will be held on Tuesday, August l0th at 5:30 p.m. (prior to the
special council meeting).
The meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Clerk-Treasurer
