Banister explained that of the $11,000 increase in salaries, $5,000 has already been committed in 1993.for Buckles and Bouthilet, therefore $6,000 is the most you could reduce budget. Reminded Council there would be nothing in budget for 1994 for any kind of a salary increase or merit increase. Council agreed to reduce Salary increases by $6,000. FIREMEN"S COMPENSATION: Council agreed if they were going to freeze staff salaries, they would also have to freeze firemen's comp. Banister explained that of the $16,500 increase, only $1,950 was due to an increase in pay, $14,550 is a result of additional volunteers and an increase in runs. There was some discussion how to reduce this number - by not having every volunteer answer all medicals, or by not Paying the full $8 for volunteers that don't go out on the call. Nothing was resolved, so reduced budget by only $1,950. RESERVE ADDITIONS: Councilman Johnson was concerned about reducing Reserves, wanted to make sure we added something, and didn't deplete them. Next year (1995) we won't have an Equipment Certificate to pay off in 1994 $94,784, so we must increase the Reserves then. Council agreed to reduce reserve additions: Office Bldg & CIP an additional $5,900; Fire Dept. $14,000; and Public Works and additional $13,000. These decreases totaled $50,850, which would make the Budget increase precentage 9.23% "(under 10%), but the Tax Levy % increase was still 11.52%. Mayor John suggested trying to get the Tax Levy increase under 10% also. September 8, 1993 - Budget Discussion Page 2 STORM WATER PLAN: Councilman Johnson suggested we could possibly ecrease $30,000 by the amount of $7,000 that would have been used for set-up costs and administration if we had done the utility billing. Council agreed to reduce Storm Water Plan by $7,000. This would make the Tax Levy increase 10.81%. Council agreed to go over budget again to see if they could make anymore cuts. Comment on newsletter: Concern on not having enough in budget for newsletter, suggested having subscribers or asking for donations. Check into getting Lake Elmo business to advertise. LEGAL: suggested decreasing by $5,000, perhaps having the attorney present at only l meeting a month, no concensus on suggestion, but Council agreed to decrease legal fees by $5,000, to leave same as last year. PARK SUPPLIES: After much discussion on whether some Park expenses s ould be paid from the Park Capital Projects Fund, it was agreed to decrease Parks Supplies by $1,500. After these reductions the Tax Levy % increase is still 10.17%. Councilagreed they could not do anymore cutting.
