The public was invited to attend the meeting as observers. The budget was the only subject discussed. REVENUE General Property Taxes (page B-7) . The City Manager started the budget review by noting that the 1990-91 budget contained few changes. Mayor Majerus asked if the total for 610.12 Personal Property contained the growth factor allow- ance that was just approved by the State Legislature. Mr. 011endorff said it was not yet included. Licenses (cage B-7) . Mr. 011endorff pointed out that the two largest categor- ies, 630.20 Electric and 630.21 Natural Gas were not increased for 1990-91 be- cause a smaller amount than anticipated was received this year. *Mr. Price arrived at this time. Charges for City Services (pages B-7 and (B-8) . Mr. 011endorff noted the in- crease in 640.10 Golf Course which should result frnam the voter-approved fee increase. He also noted a small increase anticipated for Refuse Collection Fees (640.16) resulting from a full year's collection of voter-approved fees. Inspection Fees (page B-8) . Again, there is an increase for 660.10 Building and Zoning, because of voter-approved inspection fees, the City Manager said. Intergovernmental Aid (page B-8) . Mr. 011endorff called attention to 673.12 St. Louis County Sales Tax, noting that next year's figure is about the same as this year's. That will probably decrease in the following year because the census results will be known. Mr. Wagner asked about 675.10 Grant Funds, and Mr. 011endorff said that included state grants of $100,000 for recycling yard wastes, and $30,000 for the Victims' Assistance program.
