CARL CARLSON, City Attorney; ALAN DOERSCHEL, Finance Director: PATRICK LOWERY, Police Chief; JACOB MACIAS, Grants Coordinator; AL PIEPER, Building Official; MAXINE ANDERSON, City Clerk. 3 Sa'I Mayor Todd reported that the proposed 1982 budget has been sub- mitted to the Council. It is a tight budget. The residential street program has been placed in a supplemental budget proposal if additional funds become available. There is a deficit in the Water Fund necessitating an increase in charges. The budget is a total of $15,000,000 which includes $5,000,000 of Federal Grant monies if received, however, chances are not good that the city will receive this money. The Current Fund budget is in- creased approximately the same amount that the current labor contracts mandate for employee salary increases. Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, explained that the budget con- tains a synopsis of each department, a list of their budget re- quests and a list of those items included in the budget. The labor portion of the current fund continues to increase -60% in 1979, 70% in 1980, 68% in 1981 and 78% for 1982. The only way to cut current fund expenses is to cut personnel. About 90% of the current fund budget are fixed costs. Council is going to have to take a serious look at an additional source of revenue. Council President Van Dusen said he will be back at next weeks meeting with a review schedule. Council agreed they want to meet as a whole for review and not in committees. He called attention to two pieces of correspondence -one concerning Maule Avenue and the other Hometel Corporation. a. Approval of Minutes: October 20, 1981 b.
