24 <br />CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION OCTOBER 25, 1994 <br />salary adjustments and the 1995 Budget contains $100,000.00 for <br />salary adjustments. He also noted that Mr. Tesch will come to <br />the next Council work session with recommendations for non-union <br />support staff salary adjustments. <br />GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS, RANDY SCHUMACHER <br />Mr. Schumacher reviewed proposals for upgrading areas of the city <br />hall. Council Member Elliott felt that most of the proposals <br />should not be addressed until a decision is made regarding <br />whether or not a new city hall is to be constructed. <br />Council Member Bergeson noted that $30,000.00 of the upgrade <br />proposals is for ADA compliance. Mr. Schumacher explained that <br />nothing will be done until the ADA evaluation is completed. <br />Ms. Vaske noted the request for fencing the salt and sand piles. <br />This request is to address the safety concern in this area. <br />Mayor Reinert addressed the Certificate of Indebtedness and asked <br />if anything can be done to help with the 1995 budget capital <br />improvements. Mr. Schumacher explained that the current <br />Certificate of Indebtedness was structured so that taxes would <br />remain stable and not have "peaks and valleys". He suggested <br />looking at long term as well as short term debt. Mayor Reinert <br />felt that the major issue is the purchase of a dump truck. Mr. <br />Schumacher felt that the Police Department requests for two (2) <br />new squad cars and two (2) additional officers was also <br />significant. Council Member Elliott noted that the Utility <br />Department Superintendent position is vacant and that possibly <br />some dollars could be shifted from that position to address these <br />needs. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked that a new list of requests be <br />prepared showing the dollars needed to fund the requests. Mayor <br />Reinert also asked for the dollar impact of increasing some <br />building permit fees. <br />Council Member Elliott noted that the City Council has not heard <br />the needs of the Parks and Recreation Department. She felt that <br />the most immediate need is for part-time office staff. <br />The next budget meeting will be on November 9, 1994 to meet with <br />the Parks and Recreation staff. This will follow the normal <br />Council work session. <br />A Ways and Means Committee meeting has been scheduled for <br />Saturday, November 12, 1994. The purpose of this meeting was <br />changed to finalizing the 1995 Budget. <br />PAGE 12 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
