MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 28, 1994 <br />The Administrator reviewed the Protective Inspection <br />portion of the budget, noting the decrease proposed for <br />1995 with the budget amount at $38,845 versus $57,471 <br />in 1994. The Administrator noted that there is no <br />longer a full-time employee budgeted under this area, <br />with the shift to contracted building inspection <br />service. The Administrator reported that he is <br />obtaining proposals for contracted building inspection <br />services, and hopes to have a recommendation for the <br />Council shortly. <br />Morelan noted the reduction in the line item for <br />Travel, Conferences, & Schools and asked if the City <br />should be budgeting some dollars here for continuing <br />education for the contracted inspector if it would <br />benefit the City. <br />The Administrator reported that the City is currently <br />contracting with Greg Schmit for building inspection <br />services. In discussing this matter with Schmit, it is <br />his feeling that continuing education costs are his <br />responsibility in maintaining his qualifications. <br />There are some insurance issues that need to be <br />resolved, however, in the contracted service <br />arrangement for inspection services. <br />The Administrator reviewed the Emergency Services/Civil <br />Defense portion of the budget, as well as Animal <br />Control budget. The Administrator noted in the change <br />in animal control providers, and was not sure how this <br />change will impact the budget. The Administrator noted <br />that the change will be effective October lst, which <br />will give the City a couple of months during 1994 to <br />gauge the impact on the 1995 budget. <br />The Administrator reviewed the Streets Budget and <br />pointed out that the increase in regular employee <br />expense reflects the change from part-time to full-time <br />status being recommended for Merri Nadeau. The <br />Administrator reported that given the growinq work load <br />over the last few years, there is the need for this <br />additional help. <br />Morelan pointed out that there was discussion <br />previously on making this change at the first of the <br />year. Morelan asked if there were enough dollars in <br />the 1994 budget to make the change now. <br />7 <br />
