WORK SESSION ON BUDGET REVISIONS FOR YEAR 1984-1985 AND
DISCUSS BUDGET PRIORITIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1985-86:
LIBRARY: City Manager Gus Pappas said the budget takes
the approach that very little money will be spent on books ,
most of the expense will be for furniture for the new
library. The 85-86 budget will go back from capital expense
to regular expenses such as books , office equipment .
The other item that goes with the library is the completion
of the community center and doing the parking lot . The
parking lot could be done with the BOMAG equipment if this
is purchased . The parking lot done in concrete will cost
approximately $62 , 500 .00 and done in black top the
approximate cost would be $12 , 500. 00. Councilman Simmons is
concerned with doing the parking lot in blacktop , he is
worried about it holding up under the type of use it will be
getting . Bids have been sent out for the furniture and
fixtures for the new library building .
CODE ENFORCEMENT : This is the area where council has
already made the decision to bring on another inspector .
The decision on the new city hall answered questions on
space for Code . In next years budget (85-86) will be an
c .
increase on floor space and office equipment and furniture
__ for this area . Roy said the inspector now and about this
same time next year he would need a full time sub-division
inspector . Roy also asked for a truck for the new inspector
in next years budget .
ADMIN. AND OTHERS : With the decision of the new city
hall there is little or no reason for additional employees ,
equipment or furniture until the 85-86 budget year . Asking
for the authority to place the second employee in the
finance budget for the revised budget 84-85 year . This
employee has justified the position . Next years budget
something to consider would be adding a finance director .
FIRE DEPARTMENT: Council wants to see one or two
full time employees in this department with a full time fire
chief .
POLICE DEPARTMENT: There is a need for a sergeant
position to be added to this department right of way . This
is a new position and does not mean an officer could not be
promoted. In addition in the 85-86 year we intend to bring
on two (2) more police officers . The 85-86 budget year is
also looking a the cost of the installation of the new
frequency for the radio system.
_ PUBLIC WORKS : Bill Windham said there is shared
project with Moore in the making which includes a building
that would house Moore Industrial and Public Works . This is
a metal building with approximate cost of $300 ,000 . with a
lease payment of approximately $4 ,000.00 . In the Street
Dept . there needs to be more money for rock, asphalt , sand
and etc . The type of equipment needed for the streets is
not available and is something that is much needed . Public
Works needs another pickup this year as soon as possible
plus a tank-trailer for pumping sewage until the Rush Creek
Lift Station come on line . Need a three (3) man crew to
begin work on lift station project .
COMMUNITY CENTER: Council requested this item be on
the next regular council agenda .
Motion was made to adjourn, with all in favor .
