Finance Officer Hart stated that in the 1996 Adopted General Fund Budget is $75,304 to provide for workstations and some remodeling to Administrative Services (remaining four work stations), Finance Department, Community Development (lower level offices) and to remodeling as necessary to the Police Department area once the new Police facility is complete. It is anticipated that one of the current interns would have the ability to do some of the space planning and make as to uses of various equipment and furnishings (existing and new). Any remodeling (carpeting, painting, etc.) would be done in-house, to the extent possible, or acquired through a quotation process.
