1984 LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLAN r\ Page Three As we proposed in the 1983 Long -Term Financial Plan, plans are still underway to either retrofit our current ballot counting machine or purchase new equipment to improve the accuracy and efficiency of our ballot count- ing process. Except for increases in capital expenditures for the purchase or rehabilitation of ballot counting equipment, it is not anticipated that basic election services will change over the next five years except when special elec- tions are held, which cannot be anticipated, or the State or Federal Governments modify the rules and regulations for the conduct of elections in such a way that increased expenditures are required. 4) City Hall - The City Hall Division of the Administrative Department provides for the maintenance and operation of the City Hall Building and office equipment, personnel services, costs of the part-time receptionist, office supplies, postage and liability and automobile insurance premiums. Due to the age and condition of the carpeting in the lower level of City Hall and on both stairways, replacement is proposed for 1985 along with funds to re- paint the lower level, stairways restroom facilities and foyer area which have experienced substantial use and are in need of rehabilitation. 5) Legal and Fire - Legal and fire protection services are provided by contracting individuals or agencies, with the level of service and the expense for such service to the City being determined by them. As a result of a number of recent changes in state law as it relates to DWI arrests and who, the City or County, is responsible for prosecuting non -criminal cases, the City's legal service costs will be increasing and will be an unpredictable factor in the budgeting process. 6) Clerk -Administrator's Office - The position of Clerk - Administrator is established by Section 6.01 of the Home Rdle Charter with Section 6.03 outlining the duties of the Clerk -Administrator. Basically, the duties of the Clerk -Administrator and, as a result, the Clerk-Adminis trator's Office can be summarized as follows: a. All of the duties and responsibilities of a City Clerk in a statutory city including the conduct of elections, maintenance and all municipal records and accounts, and issuance of all licenses and permits, t. except for building permits and contrator's licenses.
