Building Expense <br />The Council discussed planning for city hall expansion due <br />to the need for more storage room, room for fire proof <br />files, office partitions, and extra space for a meeting <br />room. Capital Outlay $5,000 and requested adding a Building <br />Reserves column in the amount of $7,000. <br />**************** <br />PAGE 5: EXPENSE (Continued) <br />Legal and Engineering: Council agreed to keep proposed <br />amount in the budget. <br />Building Inspector: <br />The Building Official requested purchasing a truck for <br />building inspections.
