6. DISCUSSION/REVIEW OF THE 1992-93 PROPOSED BUDGET.
Mayor Bauder and the staff presented the proposed 192-93 budget.
The Council reviewed each fund and line item. The proposed budget
was planned around a 7.9% tax rate increase. With a rate of $
.490282 the budget reflected ad valorem tax revenues at $205, 000
(this includes a levy of $126, 299.73 for Debt Service) . It was
the consensus of the council to discontinue communication
equipment maintenance contracts, copier and some computer
maintenance contracts. The proposed budget reflected a shortage
in the general fund and an overage in the water and sewer.
Several maintenance capital improvements had been placed in the
water and sewer for funding. On the advise of the city auditor,
the staff recommended increasing the Transfer in Lieu of Taxes
from the water & sewer to the general fund. Also, the staff
recommended a percentage transfer of the garbage collection fee
retained by the city to the general fund and leaving a percentage
plus the penalties for the administrative portion of handling the
billing and collection. Nothing was placed in the budget for
salary increases. Discussion centered on a COLA of $75 or $50
per/month per employee; however, Councilmember Claude Smith
recommended a salary adjustment for the Police Chief to $22, 000
annually and the City Secretary to $19,000 annually and a four
percent (4%) cost of living for all other employees. Discussion
also was centered on the request to increase the retirement to a
6% employee contribution and a 6.48% (1.50% ) for the city. The
council ask that the city secretary calculate the total cost of
these salary increase including benefits and the cost difference
of the increase in the retirement and present it at a workshop on
August 25th.
7. ADJOURNMENT.
Tex Farnsworth (Jeff Miller seconded) motioned to adjourn.
