Clerk 10tion by Mr Merkl for the adoption of Resolution 718 and
order it posted; seconded by Mr Bowman; carried 6-2, with Mr Lewis
and Mrs Turner voting No Mr Lewis stating that the reasons he was
voting 1JO, were, that he did not agree with the 'tlay the raises had
been approved; that 10% increase is a lot to the people at the top of
the scale, and nothing to those at the bottom; that the people hired
at this time would also get a raise at the first of the year, not on
their anniversary date; that the City cars used by the staff are taken
home nights and weekends and some are taken out ot the Lity; that we
are overstatfed in the Forestry division and he had thougnt that a
person had been eliminated in the Forestry division; Budget shows
$4U,00U tor utilities for Park and Recreation maintenance which seems
to be excessive, and that the City should use all its Water Rights;
Recreation Division has $70,682 for temporary personnel; and it shows
utilities for the shop's building only under administration and none
for the rest of Public Works
Mrs Turner stated that she was voting No because, although some
significant cuts had been made in spendin1, she felt that with another
work session there coulJ have been more, and that a number of types of
information were requested that had never gotten back; top heavy in
administration; some don't agree with the majority in the amount of
increases at the department head level, nor with providing raises
before they have been on the job for b months; that in some of the
ranges pay may have simply gotten out of hand for a community this
S1ze; tortunately we are holding our mill levy; fortunate that the
Capital Improvement Budget is separate and helps to eliminate
administrative costs; that items have appeared in the capital account
that were not discussed; that over one third ot the total revenue is
coming from carry-over accounts, though this is not significant in
some funds, it is in the General Fund; that even if the contingency
fund is not touched or the unallocated funds, still are spending 7%
more than we take in in the general fund Also if this is passed the
statf must make a concerted effort to reduce administrative and
operating costs
Mrs Cavarra and Mrs Ore stated they were voting yes; they felt that
a good job had been done on the oudget with an excellent start on good
fiscal responsibility and it is always a compromise and everyone does
not get everything they want
Mr stites also stated he felt it was an excellent budget; had been
discussed thoroughly with no indication of necessity for future work;
and that we will continue to try to make necessary cuts even after the
budget has been adopted
