Motion carried. Budget Discussions - ADDENDUM Board members noted that this body needs to establish its 1993 budget and to let the member cities know their 1993 financial responsibilities to the LRRWMO.

The board agreed to retain the same total budget for 1993 as in 1992, but should add a three (3) per cent inflation amount, which would bring the 1993 budget to
