Session 1757- Budget Meeting <br />May 17, 1999 <br /> <br />$10,000 increase. Mr. Ollendorff responded that the department was simply <br />underbudgeted this year. Under 731.03, Minor Office Equipment and Furniture, the <br />increase is for new furniture and peripheral computer equipment. The Printing press is to <br />replace a very old model in the print shop. <br /> <br />10.17 BUILDING MAINTENANCE: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that $6,000 would be added to 726.01, Building Repairs and <br />Maintenance, for carpet cleaning. Most of the next item, 726.03 - Miscellaneous <br />Equipment Repairs and Maintenance is for elevator maintenance, in which costs have been <br />higher than budgeted in the last couple of years. Mr. Sharpe wanted to find out if draperies <br />could be purchased for the Council Chambers, understanding that it would have to go <br />through the Historic Preservation Commission first. Mr. Schoomer said that the Historic <br />Preservation Commission has recommended hiring a consultant to suggest improvements <br />for the Centennial, in which draperies could certainly be placed on the consultant's agenda. <br />Mr. Sharpe would still like to see an estimate. Mr. Ollendorff said that there is plans to <br />remodel the rotunda of City Hall, but there are bond issue monies available. There may <br />even be enough bond issue money after that to make improvements to the Council <br />Chambers. <br /> <br />10.19 PUBLIC RELATIONS: <br /> <br />Under 721.05, Entertainment, we are now charging the cost of bands for the summer <br />concert to this account. This used to be charged in Miscellaneous Outside Personal <br />Services. Mr. Munkel pointed out that there was not a budget for health coverage in this <br />department. Mr. Norfleet said no one had signed up for it, which is very possible. She <br />may have health coverage through her spouse and the second employee is part-time, which <br />would not have any coverage. <br /> <br />20.10 POLICE DEPARTMENT: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff pointed out that under 711.10, Regular Employee Pay, the figure is wrong. <br />An exact figure is not available yet, but a couple of employees were counted twice, so the <br />new figure will be somewhat lower. Mr. Schoomer pointed out that we are authorizing for <br />83 officers and asked how many we have actually in service. Mr. Ollendorff said he was <br />not absolutely sure, but believes that we are at full strength. Mr. Schoomer asked if, with <br />the amount of overtime, would it not be better to add more regular officers. Mr. Ollendorff <br />said that it would not, because it is all peak time. Responding to Mr. Munkel, Mr. <br />OIlendorff said that all of our postage gets charged to the Finance Department. The <br />postage under 722.03 must be for a special mailing. Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
