Mr. Auspos commented that the new officer will "eat up" a big half of the uniform and mm <br />out gear allowance. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated that we can pay for the 1995 officer equipment out of 1994's budget. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney inquired about a new list for MPRS. <br /> <br />Mr. Auspos stated that is generally in September. <br /> <br />Ms. MeAloney stated she is concerned we are obligated to get it from the 1994 list. <br /> <br />Ms. Hart stated that we could put the hiring off a bit. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney stated that it needs to be recommended by the Personnel Committee in <br />September. We will have to add a meeting. <br /> <br />Public Works Supervisor Mevissen stated that 3311 Street Maintenance - rental is based on <br />past experience. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder asked Mr. Mevissen if he was concerned about the decrease to which Mr. <br />Mevissen replied no. <br /> <br />Mr. Mevissen felt that taking the track out of the budget was a big mistake. Other than <br />that, he stated he was okay with the cuts. <br /> <br />Assistant Fire Chief Kapler stated that the only two issues he has is the hydrant and the gas <br />detector. He stated he feels from the safety aspect the gas detector is an absolute must - it's <br />strictly a safety issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated we have a heat detector - is there a preference. <br /> <br />Mr. Kapler stated that the lost dollars would be the biggest benefit from the heat detector. <br />He felt if he had to make a choice, people should come fa'st. <br /> <br />Mr. Auspos stated that one "BOOM" could take out seven or eight houses and he felt the <br />gas detector should be put back in the budget. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor asked about the heat detector. <br /> <br />Mr. Kapler stated that it eliminates the frequency of going back out to a fn'e scene. For <br />example, they went back to the garage door place four times. The heat detector would have <br />cut that at least in half. <br /> <br />Mr. Auspos stated that it would also be used when lightening strikes, etc. <br /> <br />Mr. Kapler stated that they have tom apart walls to see if there is anything still going on. <br />Sometimes they have found nothing and sometimes charred wood. The need is there for <br />both detectors, but his fn'st choice would be the gas detector. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg suggested maybe upping assessing a bit. <br /> <br />Mr. $chroeder stated that what he's heard thus far is $300 for the cellular phone bill, <br />cutting Vehicle #607 is a mistake, the gas detector is a must, bump up 2211 to some <br />degree, and there is a desire for additional storm drainage. <br /> <br />Staff Budget Meeting/August 22, 1994 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
