Session 1519, Minutes Page 4 May 16, 1990 (me 4010 Library (page C-94) . The City Manager said the Library is preparing a report which will go to Council this Friday. Mayor Majerus said the Library budget can be discussed at the last budget meeting on May 23. MISCELLANEOUS LAND US Mr. Schocmer asked Mr. 011endorff to find out how it might be possible to re- cycle old mercury batteries and other items which people have trouble dispos- ing of. In response to Mr. Price, Mr. 011endorff said a year from now, if the City's debt is paid off, there will be an additional $200,000 (no longer needed for debt service) to cover inflation and perhaps a small employee raise; also, the fund balance will be $1.4 million, which the Finance Director feels should be no lower. There was brief discussion about city-school cooperation, with Mr. 011endorff commenting that he and the school superintendent discuss current problems, but do little formal planning together. Mrs. Thompson pointed out that the public is sometimes misinformed about certain items, for example the tennis courts on Hanley Road which are in such poor condition—most think they are owned by the City, but they actually belong to the School District. It was noted that it is sometimes difficult finding ways of enhancing public awareness. Mayor Majerus said there was a vacancy on the Uniformed Employees Pension Board, and the firefighters nominated someone who resigned from the board eight months ago. The other person who ran for the position received fewer votes but would make a good member, she believed, and recommended that he be appointed at the Council meeting on May 21st. Mr. 011endorff concurred with this recommendation, pointing out that it was up to Council to make the ap- pointment. mt../.4.A., Dolores A. Miller City Clerk
