1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1993 GENERAL FUND BUDGET HEARING DECEMBER 10, 1992 <br />cost necessary to provide a service to the citizens. This cost <br />has been escalating and has probably generated citizen <br />complaints. Mrs. Ayde explained that the residents are very <br />involved and believe in doing something to preserve the <br />environment. They are willing to cooperate. She said her <br />problem is trying to determine where the money from the county is <br />being spent. <br />Council Member Bergeson noted that it appears that costs on two <br />(2) line items have increased, the salary that is paid to a part- <br />time coordinator and some of Mr. Volk's salary. The Contracted <br />Services portion of the budget includes payment to the Boy Scouts <br />for their cardboard recycling program and also for the twice a <br />year recycling day. Mr. Volk explained that the money received <br />from the county is spent in the Solid Waste Abatement budget and <br />none of it goes into the General Operating Budget. Mrs. Ayde <br />said she was glad that the Boy Scouts are being supported through <br />this program. <br />Mr. Volk will meet with Mrs. Ayde on this matter. <br />Mr. Tom Smith, 874 Oak Lane noted that we have a new six (6) bay <br />fire station and yet one (1) fire truck is sitting in a snow <br />bank. He asked if this vehicle could be parked inside the fire <br />station. Mayor Reinert noted that this vehicle is for sale. It <br />is very old and out of service. Mr. Smith also noted that there <br />is no siding on a portion of the Police Department building. He <br />asked if this could be completed. Mr. Volk explained that the <br />siding has been on order for approximately two (2) months and it <br />is promised to be here before the first of the year. Council <br />Member Neal also noted that blacktopping the parking lot was <br />expected to be completed before the construction season ended. <br />However, a snow storm canceled the blacktop installation. <br />Mayor Reinert thank everyone for coming this evening and asked <br />for community support of the Economic Development effort to help <br />turn the tax base around. <br />Council Member Neal moved to close the public hearing at 7:47 <br />P.M. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 92 - 146 <br />Certifying the Final 1992 Tax Levy, Collectable in 1993 in the <br />amount of $2,073,987.00. Council Member Elliott seconded the <br />motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Council Member Kuether emphasized that $50,000.00 of the 1993 <br />Operating Budget is planned for a reserve and will only be used <br />PAGE 7 <br />`0 I <br />
