The above changes were suggested by Council at the last
budget meeting.
Councilman Messenger wanted to know if an additional
employee could be added to the Park Department in March plus
a basketball court. City Manager Charles Norwood said this
budget tonight does not reflect the additional person or the
basketball court.
Mayor Pro Tem Naish stated the amount for warrant fees was
raised, is this to high. City Manager Charles Norwood said
no, because staff feels this person will be working only on
warrant fees and fines.
City Manager Charles Norwood pointed out that this budget
does not change the police department from 12 hour shifts to
8 hour shifts. The first thought for staff was to start
this in April , this would mean an additional $20,000 to
$30 ,00 to the 1989/90 budget plus an additional $70 ,000 to
$80 ,000 in the 90/91 budget, plus the additional expense
next year of the 2 . 3 million dollar bond payment. The
budget does not reflect a water and sewer increase, but will
probably have to go up in the 1990/91 budget year . City
Manager Charles Norwood gave a copy of a phone survey done
on the number of hours in each shift of several police
departments in our area. Most of these are on 10 hour
shifts or 8 hour shifts. If Council chooses to go to the 8
hour shifts for our police department, need to add another
1.5 cents to the tax rate. Staff has already added 3 cents,
this would mean and additional 4 .5 cents to the tax rate.
City Manager Charles Norwood said this budget has no extras.
The items in this budget should have been purchased several
years ago. City Manager Charles Norwood stated that it
would not be a good ideal to not purchase the equipment that ..
has been requested and put in the proposed budget.
401
Councilman Akin wanted to know if staff had a problem going
up on the taxes to the limit. City Manager Charles Norwood
said he did not have a problem.
City Manager Charles Norwood asked Council to go with this
budget plus additional taxes to add two more offices in
April and put the police patrol on 8 hour shifts instead of
the 12 hour shifts .
There being no other items for discussio ''on was made
to adjourn with all in favor.
