He also said given a bud- <br />get the district would make it work. <br />Mr. Benjamin said the District would end the year very near budget <br />or slightly under.

APPROVE, ESTABLISH AND ADOPT <br />1985 TAX LEVY - COLLECTABLE 1986 <br />Mr. Schumacher explained originally a 1986 budget was prepared in- <br />dicating what each department head felt he needed to operate his <br />department. This budget now has been cut by $286,000 to $1,339,228. <br />He presented a list of cuts from each department. This budget rep- <br />resents a zero mill increase in taxes, keeps consistent with the <br />Capital Improvement Plan and follows the five year road program <br />except for one road. <br />Mr. Schumacher proposed using a Certificate of Indebtedness to pur- <br />chase the Capital Outlay items. This would allow three years for <br />repayment. The Certificate of Indebtedness would be in the amount <br />of $107,500.00. No equipment except for two squad cars will be <br />purchased in 1987. <br />Mr. Marier asked Mr. Schumacher if he is proposing one new employee <br />to the Administration Department.
