The regular meeting of the Budget/Finance Committee was called to order by Chairman
Easton at 7:00 p.m.
The minutes of the September 4th regular meeting were approved as presented via motion
by Ken, seconded by Mark, and passed unanimously.
Mary reported that Ambulance Director Jan Faught had previously requested a meeting
with the committee, and that it had been scheduled for September 12t~. The issue was
whether the Ambulance had budgeted enough for vehicle repairs and maintenance. There
have been expenditures for tires, a windshield, and possibly ak conditioning repak. The
mayor and clerk met on the 124 and identified $1,200 in travel monies in the council,
mayor, and civil defense budgets that could be transferred to the ambulance~ However,
later that same day, Jan and Mary discussed the ambulance budget, and it was determined
that there was enough appropriations in the vehicle parts (#232) and vehicle repair (#361)
objects to be sufficient to cover anticipated repairs at present. Therefore, the meeting for
the 12t~ was cancelled, and no budget amendments are needed at this time.
Mary presented the August Financial Statements along with the charts and graphs
showing the 4th quarter of FY'01 and the first two months of FY'02. Discussion and
questions followed. The committee recommends to council that the reports be approved.
The committee approved the August Journal Vouchers #149 - 158. Mary explained
that there were several corrections made to payroll and finance due to the realignment of
some of the personnel and consolidation of some accounts.
The following purchase requisitions were reviewed and approved:

$ 606.10
LIGHT DISTRICT #2:

up on questions on whether overtime was charged by an attendee to the insurance
meeting held on the 11th, and also whether the container site is now closed for ½ hour for
lunch, thus eliminating the overtime in that area.
