MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />NOVEMBER 12, 1991 <br />line on rate increases. The only increase being passed <br />on is $1,800 associated with his increased rent for <br />office space. The 1991 Attorney budget is $83,120, and <br />proposed 1992 budget amount is $78,920. <br />The Administrator reviewed the Engineer expenditure <br />category, noting that $8,750 was budgeted in 1991 and <br />$7,000 is proposed for 1992. <br />The Planning category was reviewed with the 1991 budget <br />at $24,645 and $19,715 budgeted for 1992. The Planner <br />has indicated that his retainer will remain the same <br />for 1992, however, will propose some rate changes that <br />will be discussed at contract renewal time. <br />Insurance was budgeted at $66,300 in 1991 and is <br />proposed at $28,975 for 1992. The decrease is due to a <br />change in the allocation of insurance costs. For 1992, <br />1/3 of insurance costs will be allocated to the General <br />Fund, 1/3 to the Sewer Budget and 1/3 to the Water <br />Budget. This has been past practice, but was missed in <br />the 1991 Budget. This allocation is reflected in the <br />1991 estimated actual totals. <br />City Hall was budgeted for $18,320 during 1991 and <br />proposed at $23,670 for 1992. The increase is due to <br />increased utility costs due to the larger City Hall. <br />It was noted that nothing is being budgeted under <br />Economic Development during 1992 which is how this <br />category was handled during 1991. <br />Police was budgeted at $434,000 during 1991 and is <br />proposed at $479,250 for 1992.
