Council President.
ALAN DOERSCHEL, Finance Director; SHARON WYLIE, Administrative
Assistant, PATRICK LOWERY, Police Chief; MAXINE ANDERSON, City Clerk.
Council reviewed the projected revenues, asked questions and
approved the revenue as submitted.
Alan Doerschel noted that the budget reflects the 1981 salaries.
There is $280,000 in Non Departmental Salaries to cover increases
,for all ernpi ogees. Mr. Doerschel said that, when the new
computer is installed, there may have to be an increase in wages
for the computer operator. She is being paid at a step below
an Accounting Clerk I. This item will be discussed with the
Finance and Personnel Committee. He noted that the Utility
Accountant position was upgraded to Grade 7 in June. This was
done to give more expertise in the department. He spends about
half his time on the Utility Books and the rest on the General
Ledger and'other accounting items.
Mr. Doerschel suggested that all transportation monies should be
put in a Non Departmental category and all expenditures would go
through the Mayor's Office. Council did not agree with this
procedure. Department Heads should have some discretion on the
use of transportation funds. Attendance at all out of state
meetings already has to be approved by the Mayor.
No further discussion on proposed Finance Budget.
Maxine Anderson explained that the Building /Planning Department
secretary has been moved out of the City Clerk's Budget and
placed back in the Planning Budget. She works for Building and
Planning.
Transportation reduced to $400, $300 for the Department Head and
$100 for the employee. Items moved to the Supplemental Budget
were noted. No further discussion.
Page B -1, Mr. Doerschel noted the items for the Finance Department that
Supplemental Budget have been moved to the Supplemental Budget. He discussed the
Financial Planning Module. The other item is $15,000 to expand
the capabilities of the new computer. This money could be used
for a word processor and new terminals for the Police and Public
Works Department.
Extra Labor $1,000 for 3 months trial on collection of out-
standing warrants. $2,340 to fill clerk position during maternity
leave.
Transportation reduced to $600. $300 for the judge and $100
for each employee. Supplemental Budget items were noted.
