<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr, Knight To concur in the recommendation and. that the proper city officials be
<br />authorized to sign the contract was~sdopted, without dissenting vo.te.
<br />
<br /> 64-1t8 - "I submit he~withthe 1964~65 budge.t with' the~reqhe's~iDhat~-a date be sci for the public
<br />hearing. I recommend that the June 9, 1964 Counoil'meeting be designated for the public hearingl as has been
<br />the practice in the past.
<br /> The budget is balanced with revenue estimates totaling.$1,5,,605,54~.~.~; however, the only tax
<br />increase is the $0.01 on cigar'ettes~ The normai increase in reven~es along with,add~tiona'l, highway and water
<br />funds have provided the necessary revenues to cover the' increased expenditures.
<br /> Increases in appropriations are required to maintain existing programs and 50 provide for fixed
<br />obligations with some-of, the larger items Of increase as follo~s:
<br />
<br />Schools
<br />Debt Service
<br />Street Lights
<br />Police Department
<br />Fi~ ~pa~ment
<br />Salary & ~age Increase
<br />
<br />397,411.00
<br />183,000.00

<br />31,616.00
<br />35,744.00
<br />200,000.00
<br />
<br /> Capital Improvements ?' 85,90~.00
<br /> While I consider this budget, ample, the department requests~were reduced by $1-,017~499.00
<br />including $150,000.00 from the school budget; howeyCr_ there are still funds providing s salary increase for
<br />teachers, and other school personnel. The $20~,9pp.00 for salary and w~e inc~esse~ is/for a~l ,~ther city
<br />employees a~d to become effective September. 1, 1964. Ordinances covering these ~ncreases are to be submitted
<br />at a later date. The additional funds for s~.ree.t !~ghLs provide for th~on~inuation of our five year
<br />program of replacing the older type lights for the mercury vapor..
<br /> Increases in the Fire and Police D~partments covpr additional persor~neI and normal salary
<br />increments. The i~em f~r capital improvement~ .is for a new.fire pumpe~ traffic ~i~nals and ~ecreat.ional
<br />improvements

<br />available in the City A~ditoris' off~e for review by anyone interested.
