He then indicated that the customer was charged the full cost <br />of the rental. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked whether the $255,000 under MSA construction was for County <br />Road H2. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated the bulk of that is H2. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked about the utility distribution for water service repair. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that was for water service to the homes. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated that the budget shows nothing but the City is collecting money <br />on the water bills for this fund. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that the 2002 budget did not have the cost broken down and <br />he is attempting to do that for 2003. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty commented that water tower rental revenue was significantly off. He <br />then commented that wireless internet service would be coming and may be a revenue source. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated he and Jim had discussed that recently and some providers have not set <br />up the network and another is utilizing existing cell tower bandwidth. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked why the golf course other professional services was over budget. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated the bulk of the overage could be attributed to the legal costs <br />related to the dispute with the department of transportation on the billboards and Clear Channel <br />is reimbursing the City for the costs but there are a couple of months lag time. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre commented that every other category in the golf course budget is from two times <br />under budget to three times under budget. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty commented that it is not just the golf course but almost all of the City <br />departments. He then said the employees are doing a great job here as just about all of the <br />expenses are under budget and under what was spent last year. <br />
