MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 2, 1992 <br />was pointed out that $2,000 is proposed under <br />contracted service for fire inspections during 1993. <br />It was anticipated that 100 inspections could be done <br />with this funding. There are three fire fighters that <br />are trained to do the inspections and will be working <br />in this capacity under the direction of the Fire <br />Marshal. <br />The Administrator explained that he is proposing a <br />budget of $56,650 under Protective Inspections versus <br />$57,540 in 1992. The Administrator reported that he is <br />assuming building activity at 25 single-family homes <br />during 1993. Emergency Service/Civil Defense is <br />budgeted at $1,760 versus $1,750 for 1992. The Council <br />requested that the Civil Defense Director submit an <br />update on his activities. <br />Animal Control is proposed at $7,450 for 1993 versus <br />$7,000 for 1992. The Administrator reported that the <br />Humane Society may be submitting a proposal for <br />providing these services on a large scale. Therefore, <br />present animal control services may be evaluated in the <br />future. <br />The Street budget is proposed at $148,430 for 1993 <br />versus $140,610 in 1992. The Administrator pointed out <br />that part of the increase is for additional summer help <br />with parks. Storm Sewer budget is proposed at $8,000 <br />in 1993 versus $5,000 in 1992. The increase is due to <br />repair to City drainage areas that is anticipated in <br />1993. Street Lighting is proposed at $38,000 in 1993 <br />which is the same amount budgeted in 1992. <br />Recycling/Sanitation is proposed at $13,925 in 1993 <br />versus $19,890 in 1992. The City has received approval <br />for a recycling grant for 1993 which will offset these <br />expenses. The balance of the grant will offset staff <br />time. The Administrator noted that he has included <br />some funds for the October lOth clean-up day in this <br />budget. City Garage is proposed at $8,725 for 1993 <br />versus $7,310 in 1992. The majority of the increase is <br />in Operating Supplies, and more accurately reflects <br />actual 1992 expenses. <br />The City Administrator reviewed the Parks & Recreation <br />budget which is proposed at $179,175 in 1993 versus <br />$166,675 in 1992. The Administrator noted that he has <br />not yet implemented the cut in salaries for the two <br />part-time recreation directors as was directed by the <br />Council. Reasoning for this will tie into an overall <br />report on the program and goals accomplished. This <br />report should be ready by the end of the month. It was <br />noted that the increase in cost of uniforms reflects <br />the fact that since the LCRA no longer receives program <br />fees, it is now the City's responsibility to pick up <br />Page 11 <br />
