Session 1810 - Budget Meeting <br />May 14, 2001 <br /> <br />back. The sense of Council was to keep all gas money. Mr. Ollendorff reported that <br />the City Attorney was about to go out in suit to try and get the cell phone companies to <br />pay us telephone taxes. We increased refuse collection last year, so he doesn't <br />suggest anymore increases here. The sales tax revenues are forecasted to drop about <br />7% basically because of the census change. <br /> <br />10,10 LEGISLATIVE SERVICES: <br /> <br />The budget includes enough money for a 3% cost of living wage adjustment. Specifics <br />will be discussed at another meeting. Health insurance is the most costly fringe benefit. <br />The budget includes a 5% cost increase. Bids are being turned in to Mr. Norfleet <br />currently and it looks as if we are going to need to include 15% more for health <br />insurance. <br /> <br />On C-4, 729.10 is $20,000 for U. City in Bloom. <br /> <br />On C-5, 729.14 Election Costs is $10,000 for the April 2002 municipal general election. <br />Any extra elections would have to have additional money budgeted. <br /> <br />10.11 PERSONNEL: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that there was nothing unusual in this budget. They budgeted <br />$2,000 for some computer upgrades and software. <br /> <br />10.12 ADMINISTRATION: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff stated that the breakdown for 721.10 was $35,000 for Sr. Service Center, <br />$4,000 for Arts and Letters Commission and $72,100 for UCRS. Ms. Colquirt reported <br />that they want the City to help pay for one of the art exhibits in City Hall in honor of <br />Darwin Portman. They would like at least $3,000. The total project is $6,000. Mayor <br />Adams would like to see a proposal before discussing it further. Mayor Adams said that <br />we also need to think about how to budget and help the Historical Society as we plan <br />for the 100th Anniversary of the City. UCRS would like to have $77,000, but we <br />budgeted 3% or 72,100. Council asked to have this item held for further discussion. <br /> <br />On the bottom of C-11, change the name of Advanced Clerk Typist to Administrative <br />Secretary. 726.32 - The police cadet program has dropped form 1 full time and 2 part <br />time cadets. They are dropping one part time cadet, because of a longstanding <br />vacancy. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
