Mr. L'Allier felt that we might tentatively approve the budget as it is, that we hold the report to the County Auditor until Friday; if the payment on the Metro Sewer can be held back for one year, then the $25,000 can be eliminated from the 1971 budget. This would mean an increase in the budget of 10-12% over 1970 with- out the sewer assessment. Mr. Bohjanen felt that the budget, outside of the sewer assessment, should be trimmed down to 60.8 mills and allow only an excess for the new building. If the sewer assessment must be made for 1971, then the budget must be brought down by $25,000. He felt that money could be obtained through such items,as the 10% park land donation being taken in cash value. Mr. L'Allier noted that the school district's assessment would increase as much as the Village assessment; our percentage of the total mill rate would be no more than it was last year. Mr. Bohjanen stated that we should hold one more meeting on the budget, other communities were doing the same thing and we need more time to study the sewer assessment. Mr. Gotwald recommended postponing the certification to the Auditor. There was further discussion. Mr. Jaworski moved to set a budget meeting for 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 17; however this would not be necessary if we can eliminate the $25,000 sewer assess- ment; in this case the Clerk would be authorized to submit the budget as previously determined.
