Hanson COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Bill Blesener Rick Collova Jim LaValle ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson In doing additional reviews with the proposed 1993 budget, the following items were identified as potential expense reductions. They are as follows: Department Old Fire Station Recycling /Sanitation Recycling /Sanitation Expense Reduction Amount Telephone $350 Newsletter Printing 1,000 Contracted Service 2,500 The reduction in the telephone cost was made possible due to a reduced service option available for the old fire station. This has already been implemented to achieve cost - savings. The newsletter printing item was made possible by a change in the printer for our newsletter. This item is also in effect at the present time. The reduction for contracted service under recycling /sanitation is made possible due to the cost of providing clean -up day services. As you recall, I had budgeted for two clean -up day services in 1993 at a cost of $2,500 each. If we assume that the goal is to have these events self- sufficient, I do not think the $5,000 amount will be necessary. Council Member Scalze wants to discuss some other items. They are as follows: * Reduce costs associated with retention of staff for file purging by $1,610. ($3,600 - $1,610 = $2,000) * Generate $500 in fee revenues from the users associated with ice time coordination. Generate $800 in fee revenues associated with providing the coaches clinic program.
