at $5,000 - it could possibly be cut to $3,000. He commented on the training; they will be <br />able to attend some, but some will not be available. The money requested for general <br />notices is to advertise for bids, etc. He stated he wasn't sure about the electric utility. <br /> <br />The demand charge from Anoka Electric Cooperative was tolked about. City Administrator <br />Schroeder offered to contact AEC to see if it could be lowered. <br /> <br />Mr. Mevissen stated he also didn't know about the gas use because of being in a different <br />building. Building and structure repair should be fine for next year - but it may go up; we <br />will be able to better detem~e that after the move. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated we would like to have an on-going maintenance program. <br /> <br />Mr. Mevissen stated that normally the amount allocated for outside labor for repairing <br />equipment doesn't get used; however, one breakdown could eat up thc amount. Other <br />vehicle repair - repair/refurbish - $17,000. He stated it doesn't make sense to him to put <br />$17,000 into a vehicle when it would still be worth only $5,000. <br /> <br />Mr. Sohroeder stated that when Council gets to their September meeting, there will be a <br />balanced budget. Council will be given a list of stuff that was added and what was cut; <br />they will then decide. $51,253 would have gotten a new mack; however, a 1996 purchase <br />would work because there will not be any new squads. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated we were over by $300,000. We went through the budget and Merle's <br />mack was one of the items cut. <br /> <br />Mr. Mevissen continued -' other equipment rental includes shop rags and water. Machines - <br />he stated you cannot buy a backhoe - you have to rent one. Uniforms - the Park employees <br />pay for their own uniforms so some of that money is in 4520. The dues are up but no <br />subscriptions are requested. Mr. Mcvissen stated that, relating to street sweeping, the City <br />of Andover called and said they will be buying a street sweeper and wanted to know if we <br />wanted to work together with it. A zero amount was requested for architectural fees and <br />$20,000 is requested for motor vehicles. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated the $39,376 is anticipated for rent on the metal storage building. <br /> <br />Mr. Mevissen questioned the rental. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder explained the City would rent out the building for two years and they (the <br />renters) would refurbish it, then we would get it back. It would be used for storage. <br /> <br />Mr. Mevissen felt that didn't make sense. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated it's for a two-year period and will bring in about $80,000. <br /> <br />Mr. Mevissen expressed dissatisfaction over having given up a 2.5 million dollar facility, <br />settling for a facility that needed remodeling, and then having to rent out a portion of it also. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that the $2.5 million facility has not been funded. He added that the <br />rent would allow for a salt storage building and in two or three years it allows for a <br />refurbished building. <br /> <br />Staff Budget Meeting/August 15, 1994 <br /> Page 2 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
