Mayor Van Dusen noted that the contract for the Southcenter Blvd. project requires that the City make an archaeological reconnaissance study for $872, noise study for $2,469, air quality study for $1,708 and make a supplemental agreement with Entranco to provide project data to review the findings of these studies and incor- porate them in the environmental assessment document at a cost of $6,300. The total comes to $11,379. Mayor Van Dusen read his message on the 1983 budget proposals. He identified the following key elements and suggested that Council pay particular attention to them during their review: 1. Personnel services have not been significantly altered. 2. Operation of the Golf Course needs to be addressed. 3. The Water Fund appears to be in a precarious situation. 4. G.O. Bonds are proposed to fund the 56th Avenue and Grady Way Bridge projects. Funding the next street project in the amount of $250,000 needs to be addressed. 5. Alternate funding sources need to be considered. Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, commented that the revenue from sales tax has been estimated at $200,000 more than the 1982 estimate. This is the first year that the Golf Course and Street Funds will contribute to Current Fund expenditures. All salaries included in the proposed 1983 budget are actual 1982 salaries and wages. The Water Fund is precariously balanced and there is going to have to be some adjustment in water rates. He recommended that Council consider the sales tax before October 31. a.
