Mr. Ollendorff said the amount \.mder 743.08 Office Fur- niture and Equipment is for a computer for Ms. Glassman. 1014 Legal services (oaqe C-16). Mr. Ollerxiorff said there were several cuts in this budget. Urrler 721. 03, the projected amount for outside attonleys was greatly reduced.

'!here is also a small reduction in 731.02 Magazines, Maps, Books. 1015 Municipal Court (page C=20). '!he City Manager said this budget had few changes. In the last several years, a substantial amount was SPeI1t to refur- bish the office, but that is now complete. 1016 Financial Administration (paqe C-24). Mr. Ollendorff said the most sig- nificant change here is one less full-time employee, an accountant, made pos- sible through more computerization of departrnental functions. He noted that 714.0 overtime Pay will be reduced by using a regular employee to collect the parking meter deposits instead of contracting it out.

Also, 713.0 Temporary and Part-time Errployees Pay has been reduced since there is less need for a com- puter programmer next year. *Mr. Price arrived at this time.

Mayor Majerus questioned the projected decrease in postal rates, and Ms. Glassman said the departrnent will try to do fewer mailings but there will still be five newspaper issues plus the calendar. '!he annual park booklet will continue to be sent with a newspaper mailing.
