Administrative Services Manager McAloney inquired about the newsletter. <br /> <br />Mr. Sehroeder stated that right now it is budgeted for seven issues. It could be increased if <br />Council increases the budget. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos recommended discussion by department or by topic. He <br />stated he does not have a problem with smaller tool requests. He asked if it was based on <br />anything. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that $1,400 was a significant increase. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated he thinks he is okay with that. He stated he would recommend the cellular <br />phone be amended from $420 to $300 and make up the difference - $300 in diesel fuel <br />because the Fire Department has a line item swap of $300. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Gromberg inquired if Steve's drainage couldn't be <br />assessed through the Mississippi Drainage District. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated that it's not a watershed; it's part of our general levy. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg asked if it could be done as a special assessment in the drainage district as <br />has been done before. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart replied yes and that it could also be run as a drainage utility. It may not be <br />entirely appropriate to bill new developments. She inquired if we could bill a little of it and <br />assess the rest. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder replied yes, but increase by development. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos suggested it be done as an impervious surface tax. <br /> <br />Mr. SchroeAer stated that some cities do that. <br /> <br />Mr. Sankowsld asked about loaning the money to do the study. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated that there is the $20,000 available from CDBG. <br /> <br />Police Chief Auspos stated that hopefully with new squad cars, we will not have high <br />maintenance costs. He called attention to the decrease in maintenance costs and added that <br />they will be using the old cars for the f'trst four months or so. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated "so noted". He stated to Mike, you have $2,000 - what are you <br />wanting. <br /> <br />Mr. Auspos stated he really was not sure what amount he wanted but that if needed, he had <br />to know where it would come from. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated that this would be the same as any other emergency. If it needs to be fixed, <br />we will fix it. We would have to look for a funding source and hope we are in the same <br />situation and can find the funding source. <br /> <br />Mr. Auspos inquired about the $10,000 for the Police facility. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that what this is saying is that we should keep this fund going. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated something about maintaining an on-going funding source - but cannot do it <br />this year. There is a fund but not an addition to it. <br /> <br /> Staff Budget Meeting/August 22, 1994 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
