38 March 8, 1976 Acting Mayor Zelinka asked about repairs on the old truck. Mr. Karth said it needed four new tires and some work on the steering. The truck has 160,000 miles registered now. Mr. McLean asked if it could be put in a safe workable condit- ion for about $400.00? Mr. Karth said for a while but not for too long. Mr. McLean asked if there is a reserve in July and Mr. Schneider said, Yes. Mr. McLean asked how much and Mr. Schneider said $75,000.00 would be available with an $8,000.00 built in reserve. He felt if this purchase is considered, he should probably buld in an additional $8,000.00. Acting Mayor Zelinka asked Mr. Karth to check the old truck for road safety and get an estimated cost for repairs. Mr. McLean had no report. Mr. Chneider went through the cash flow report. Each Council member has a copy., There is enough money in the account to cover the pay- roll. Money from the MWCC due this week will cover the withholding deposits. The only other check that will have to be covered is the North Central bill. This must be paid before the 15th to avoid a penalty. The remainder of the checks will have to be held until the 15th when the first quarter State Aid check is due. Acting Mayor Zelinka asked if the Clerk had checked into the savings account prov- ision and she said she had talked with Mr. Muhlbauer at Centennial State Bank. He has said if monies are to be left in the account for a period of at least 30 days, and preferrably longer, an account can be set up. But it cannot be used as a checking account where monies are put in one week and transferred out the next week. If this is done, the bank will then debit a service charge against the check- ing account. Mr. Schneider asked this matter be tabled until he has a chance to talk to the bank manager. Mr. Schneider reported Chief Myhre had recomputed the figures in connection with service to the MMTC and had arrived at a total cost of $558.95 for the year 1975. Mr. Schneider had checked the figures and felt they were correct. Mr. Schneider moved to bill the MMTC for $558.95 for Police service during 1975. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Acting Mayor Zelinka reported he had had been unable to attend the Personnel Comm- ission meeting. Each Council member had a copy of the minutes and a schedule of the proposed salary increases. Acting Mayor Zelinka read the minutes and the re- commendations of the Personnel Commission. The Personnel Commission had recommended an 8% salary increase for all City employ- ees with the exception of the Police Department. Mr. Volk had presented a schedule for the consolidation of some duties and the elimination of some part -time personnel. The Personnel Commission had recommended Mr. Robert Lundgren become a permanent full -time employee; Mr. Steve Zmuda become a permanent part -time employee, thus eliminating the need for additional part -time employees except in an emergency. Mr. Johnson would remain as a part -time employee in the Park Department. Mr. Karth felt if the 8% proposed increase is below the budgeted amount, he could see no problems. Mr. McLean felt it was necessary to be consistent and Mr. Schneider thought this might be difficult.
