1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />There was not a quroum for this first budget hearing. <br />September 8, 1976 <br />September 22, 1976 <br />The second budget hearing was called to order at 8:05 P.M. on September 22, 1976 <br />by Mayor Bohjanen. Council members present; Karth, McLean, Schneider. Absent; <br />Zelinka. <br />Mr. Schneider presented the figures as computed to this date. Chief Myhre had re- <br />computed the figures for the Police budget. Mr. Schneider asked this discussion be <br />held for consideration at a later date. <br />Mr. McLean said that he would vote No, on the proposed coverage for the extra 23 <br />hours. He felt these hours had been cut in order to afford the coverage that is <br />now provided to the City. <br />Mr. Schneider asked Chief Myhre how much extra time he was spending in covering these <br />hours. Chief Myhre said it varied. <br />There was discussion on who is responsible for coverage of these hours- the City or <br />the County? <br />Mr. Schneider pointed out the figures as the projected sale price of the tanker and <br />tractor that had been entered as projected income for 1977. <br />There was a suggestion that possibly this could be traded to Centerville in return <br />for a portion of the Fire Contract. <br />Mr. McLean asked about the total man hours in the utility department - these will <br />be transferred to the Road Department. <br />Mr. Schneider felt thereis quite a bit of work to be done on these figures in order <br />to balance the budget. He would like some time to study them. <br />Mr. Schneider moved to continue this meeting until October 6, 1976. Seconded by <br />Mr. Karth. Aye. <br />October 6, 1976 <br />The third budget hearing was called to order at 8:10 P.M. on October 6, 1976 by <br />Mayor Bohjanen. Council members present; Karth, McLean, Schneider, Zelinka. Absent <br />none. <br />Mr. Charles Cape, Civil Defense Director presented a report on the time and expendit- <br />ures for the Civil Defense in comparison to other countriesaround the world. Their <br />budget request is supplemented by their own fund raiser. Mr. Cape noted the 6x6 was <br />meant for snow plowing and only needs a V -plow. He has been trying to get one through <br />the surplus but it maybe years before one is available. The truck also needs a heater. <br />Mr. Karth said there is a V -plow in the shop that is not in use - maybe this can be <br />converted to fit this truck - he will ask the mechanics. <br />Mayor Bohjanen thanked Mr. Cape for his report. The meeting was turned over to Mr. <br />Schneider. <br />
