Mounds View City Council January 25, 1982 Regular Meeting Page Two that these two Bond Funds had sufficient unappropriated fund balances to absorb these reductions in Homestead Credit, however, the Forestry Fund would need to be reduced by the $4,660.54 amount in order to meet the antici- pated shortfall in revenues. Finance Director Brager also advised the Council that based on his most recent pro- jections the 1981 General Fund Budget would have a carry -over to the fund balance of approximately $73,000 once all bills are paid for expenses incurred in fiscal year 1981. Mayor McCarty asked that Finance Director Brager explain why personnel costs were projected to overrun the budget in 1981 when sufficient funds were included in the 1981 General Budget Fund to adequately fund all salary adjustments. Finance Director Brager indicated that the budget was pre- pared before the Stanton Program was adopted and that the personnel costs for salary adjustments were budgeted both on a depart- mental and contingency basis and that these funds were sufficient to cover all salary adjustments, however, individual department budgets might not be sufficient to handle the personnel costs for the specific depart- ment in question. Public Works Superintendent Decheine reported that Art Holm had returned home after having recently suffered a heart attack and it is not anticipated that a decision would be made regarding his ability to return to work for the next two to three months. Public Works Superintendent Decheine advised the Council that the snow removal equipment, which they had recently authorized, was exceeding the expectations of the Public Works Department and thanked the City Council for providing his department with such outstanding equipment. Public Works Superintendent Decheine indicated that the cleaning of snow around fire hydrants has become the priority job for the department since the two recent snowstorms. Mayor McCarty
