September 22, 1976 The second budget hearing was called to order at 8:05 P.M. on September 22, 1976 by Mayor Bohjanen. Council members present; Karth, McLean, Schneider. Absent; Zelinka. Mr. Schneider presented the figures as computed to this date. Chief Myhre had re- computed the figures for the Police budget. Mr. Schneider asked this discussion be held for consideration at a later date. Mr. McLean said that he would vote No, on the proposed coverage for the extra 23 hours. He felt these hours had been cut in order to afford the coverage that is now provided to the City. Mr. Schneider asked Chief Myhre how much extra time he was spending in covering these hours. Chief Myhre said it varied. There was discussion on who is responsible for coverage of these hours- the City or the County? Mr. Schneider pointed out the figures as the projected sale price of the tanker and tractor that had been entered as projected income for 1977. There was a suggestion that possibly this could be traded to Centerville in return for a portion of the Fire Contract. Mr. McLean asked about the total man hours in the utility department - these will be transferred to the Road Department. Mr. Schneider felt thereis quite a bit of work to be done on these figures in order to balance the budget. He would like some time to study them. Mr. Schneider moved to continue this meeting until October 6, 1976. Seconded by Mr. Karth: Aye. October 6, 1976 The third budget hearing was called to order at 8:10 P.M. on October 6, 1976 by Mayor Bohjanen. Council members present; Karth, McLean, Schneider, Zelinka. Absent none. Mr. Charles Cape, Civil Defense Director presented a report on the time and expendit- ures for the Civil Defense in comparison to other countriesaround the world. Their budget request is supplemented by their own fund raiser. Mr. Cape noted the 6x6 was meant for snow plowing and only needs a V -plow. He has been trying to get one through the surplus but it maybe years before one is available. The truck also needs a heater. Mr. Karth said there is a V -plow in th9 shop that is not in use - maybe this can be converted to fit this truck - he will ask the mechanics. Mayor Bohjanen thanked Mr. Cape for his report. The meeting was turned over to Mr. Schneider.
