MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 14, 1992 <br />The Administrator suggested that the situation may have <br />been similar to the Sheriff's Department contract a few <br />years ago, where the city was getting a better deal <br />than it should have. The Administrator reported that <br />he and the Recreation Direction will be doing some <br />analysis comparinq staff and programming of other <br />cities. The Administrator recommended that the $5,000 <br />be left in the 1993 budget while this analysis is being <br />done. Leaving the money in does not lock the Council <br />in to a long-term decision. <br />Scalze felt that any direct costs of the recreation <br />program should be paid by registration fees. Scalze <br />also indicated that she would like to see more <br />volunteer efforts as part of the program. <br />Council had a brief discussion on the Pioneer Park <br />concession stand and noted the benefits the City <br />receives from the operators of the stand being present <br />to open and close restrooms and generally supervise the <br />area. <br />It was the consensus of the Council to leave the $5,000 <br />salary figure in the 1993 budget with final <br />determination on that issue to be made at a later date <br />after further analysis. <br />The City Administrator reviewed decision packet #5 <br />regarding proposed retirement retention of the Deputy <br />Clerk, and reviewed his memo dated September 14th. It <br />was the consensus of the Council to retain Annette <br />Freeman on a part-time basis through the end of 1993 <br />after her retirement earlier in the year, as outlined <br />by the City Administrator. <br />The Council discussed the City's providing of long-term <br />disability benefits for City employees. The <br />Administrator reported that he has some preliminary <br />cost information on this benefit, and suggested that <br />the matter be finalized at the salary workshop which <br />will be held before the end of the year. <br />The Administrator presented decision packet #6 dealing <br />with interest earnings adjustment, and it was the <br />consensus of the Council to adopt this recommendation. <br />The City Administrator reviewed the budget adjustments <br />that were agreed upon as part of tonight's discussion, <br />and reported that total reductions amount to $20,267, <br />there will be a$2,500 increase in revenues. The <br />effect of these adjustments is a 1993 proposed general <br />fund levy of $1,173,666, which is a 3.04o increase over <br />the 1992 gross levy and results in a 1.02% increase <br />Page 12 <br />
