BUDGET REVIEW CONTINUED
Prior to starting review of the remainder of the Police
Department Budget, Council spent considerable time reviewing
proposed revenue with Ron Swnason, Finance Director. Discussion
followed on priorities and how to balance the budget.
Mr. Swanson asked Council to consider two items; first, Street
G.O. Bond Fund. He asked Council to appropriate the fund balance
to put it in the 1980 Budget. Later on, after approval by the
County, it can be used on a street project. Second, is information
on the cash carry forward. He reviewed the list of items that
will be carried forward to the 1980 Budget.

date.

Officer Steve Robinson explained the role of the Juvenile
Officer. Officer Robinson cited the case load and programs
handled by this officer. It is a full time job. Council all

Council questioned the responsibilities of the clerks. Chief
Sheets said that prior to 1976 they had two functions: (1)
dispatching and (2) caretaker of the records. They are a very
important division of the Police Department. They take care
of all the official records, the telephone, citizen requests,
statistics, etc. This is a very stressful job.
