MINU7ES <br />City Council <br />December 9, 1981 <br />Mr. fahey asked if the directors kept track of the number of hours they <br />spend on Recreation activities. P1r. Morelan replied that they did not, <br />but if they did, they would probably be asking for more money. <br />Mrs. Nardini stated that she was not in favor of adding any more money <br />to the budget. Nardini fe1t ~hat any increase in the directors' sa1aries <br />should come from the9r present budget. <br />Mr. Forsberg stated that he was not in favor of a 30% increase. He uaould <br />be in favor of an additional 10% over the 10% that was approved at the <br />budget meeting. Mr. Forsberg stated that no one pays his taxes for him, <br />and did not feel the City should pay the taxes of the Recreation directors. <br />Mr. Fahey pointed out that these people did not create the system ~nd they <br />should not be penalized for it. <br />Mrs. Na.rdini stated that these people have been getting a tax break for <br />years. <br />Fahey stated that it was a tax break for them and a salary break for the <br />City. <br />Mr. Morelan stated that the bottom line is that the clirectors are not in <br />favor of taking any money out of their pockets. <br />Mr. Hanson stated that he would not want to tal<e anything away that was <br />already given. <br />The Attorney stated that the State Statute says that City may pay a <br />monthly or a periodic allowance. The Flttorney stated that it is O.K. <br />to give them an increase in their mileage expense each year, but it <br />should not be based on salary. The Attorney stated that it would be <br />more realistic to base it on the use of the car. <br />Mr. Forsberg stated that the mileage portion is out of proportion. <br />Forsberg asked if the City would get questioned on this, because the <br />City knows these figures are out of proportion. <br />Mr. Morelan suggested that perhaps the accountants should be consultecl <br />about this. Morelan stated that the County gives a flat fee for trave1 <br />and does not require documentation. <br />Mr. Fahey stated that at the last meeting the Flttorney stated that the <br />City could not pay a flat fee, unless withholding was taken out. Fahey <br />expressed concern because now the ~ttorney state~ that withholding would <br />not have to be tal<en out. <br />F1hey and Scalze agreed that perhaps the City should check with its <br />accountants on this. <br />Fence For P~rs. Scalze reported that the Recreation Department has obtained. three <br />Skating bids for a fence at the skating rink. Metropolitan Fence has indicated <br />Page -12- <br />
