MSP (Baumgartner - Shelquist) to adopt Resolution 692 directing the County
Auditors to reduce by $97,383.00 the taxes to be levied for collection in 1976
for payment of principal and interest for the following improvement bonds:
Water revenue bond of 1969
Improvement bond of 1968
Improvment bond of 1966
Improvement bond of 1965
Improvement bond of 1963
Water works improvement bonds dated October 1960
Water works improvement bonds dated May 1960
Administrator Achen noted that this reduction was based upon the June 20,
1973 bonded debt, assessments for tax levy study done by Ehlers and Associates,
Inc. He stated that by so reducing the debt the debt service levy would be
maintained at 5.25 mills as has been past Council policy. The total amount
to be levied for debt services will be $134,717.00.
Administrator Achen read the memorandum from Police Chief Grabowski
requesting that Laurence Siluk be allowed to borrow up to 120 hours
of sick leave because he had an emergency appendectomy last Tuesday.
Administrator recommended that Council approve the request with the
stipulation that Mr. Siluk be required to sign an affidavit stating that
should he leave the employ of the city prior to accumulating enough sick
leave to pay back the amount borrowed he would reimburse the city for
any unpaid dollar amount through his regular earnings.

and Gene Schouweiler for roofing and general contracting.

Councilman Baumgartner stated although this hearing on the 1976 budget has
been fairly brief, the Council and staff have spent considerable time preparing,
reviewing and revising the document. The original staff proposal called for
a 2.13 mill increase in general fund expenditures. The budget adopted tonight
establishes a mill rate increase of 1.60 mills. This reduction was accomplished
by review of the Council and Council direction to the staff to revise the
original proposal downward.
