1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />BUDGET WORK SESSION AUGUST 29, 1991 <br />engineering, recycling and recreation. <br />Mr. Schumacher addressed the Capital Outlay portion of the <br />preliminary 1992 Budget. He noted that the original draft <br />contained $250,000.00 of new equipment. This has been reduced to <br />$135,000.00. A handout was given to the Council detailing the <br />reduced Capital Outlay portion of the budget. Mr. Schumacher <br />explained that a Certificate of Indebtedness would be purchased <br />for this expense. The Certificate of Indebtedness would be <br />repaid over three (3) years. The 1991 payment would be levied <br />and this levy would be above the levy that was calculated by the <br />state. The total of these two (2) levies would not increase the <br />City portion of taxes because of the increase in valuation of the <br />City. However, this City has no control over what the school <br />districts or the county is doing. Hopefully the total tax bill <br />will be reduced for Lino Lakes residents. <br />Council Member Neal asked about getting bids to mow and maintain <br />the parks. He felt this may reduce the cost of maintaining <br />parks. Council Member Neal noted this could also be done with <br />snow plowing. Mr. Schumacher said he did not know of any other <br />metro area municipal that does this. Mayor Bisel asked about <br />leasing services. Mr. Schumacher said this had been done by the <br />State near St. Cloud. This first year of the lease was fine, but <br />significant increases in the cost of the lease occurred each year <br />thereafter. <br />Council Member Reinert noted that this City is in a bind this <br />year and does not know what will happen next year. He said he <br />would like the Department Heads to support the Council and be <br />creative and "stretch out a bit ". He asked if the Police <br />Department could stretch the service of a squad for an additional <br />six (6) months. Mr. Schumacher explained that the Hennepin <br />County bid occurs only once a year which may make this suggestion <br />difficult to manage. <br />Council Member Reinert suggested that the Police Department take <br />the Administration car and use it as an unmarked squad car and <br />lease another car for Administration. Mr. Schumacher explained <br />that the Administration car is not equipped with a police package <br />and would not be suitable for that use. <br />Council Member Kuether noted that both the Police and Civil <br />Defense areas had been reduced in the preliminary budget. She <br />also noted that there were areas where computers were to be <br />added. She asked if computers were more important the Police and <br />Civil Defense? Mayor Bisel explained that the City is basically <br />covered by warning sirens and it is possible that the VFW will <br />again assist in the purchase of a siren. Mayor Bisel felt the <br />Police Department would not be hurting if they could purchase <br />PAGE 2 <br />6.4 <br />
