<br />REPORTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER
<br />
<br /> 84-170 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of the following ordinanses
<br />as included in the recommended operating budget for 1984-85:
<br />
<br /> "I have olaced on the agenda~
<br />budget companion ordinances which I
<br />ordinances. These are as follows:
<br />
<br />for your May 15, 1984 special meeting,
<br />referred to in my letter transmitting
<br />
<br />the operating
<br />the appropriations
<br />
<br />Senior Citizens and disabled tax relief income levels are recommended to be
<br />changed to permit greater participation and to catch uo with historical in-
<br />flationary pressures. The income level required to have 100t exemption is
<br />being raised from 23,500 to $5,000 and the maximum to be eligible for relief
<br />is resommended to be raised from $8,800 to $10,000.
<br />
<br />b o
<br />
<br />Fire hydrant rental fees are recommended to be
<br />year per hydrant within the City and from $100
<br />of the City limits.
<br />
<br />increased from 675 to $100 oer
<br />to $150 for hydrants outside
<br />
<br />Septic tank disoosal fees charged by Public Utilities to comoanies who disoose
<br />of this waste at the treatment plant is recommended to increase from ~7.~0 to
<br />$12.50 per 500 gallons. This ~ncrease will bring the fee schedule in line wit~
<br />that being charged by the Hampton Roads Sanitation District.
<br />
<br />Golf fees at City Park are recommended to be increased o~ both weekends and
<br />weekdays by 50~. Portsmouth Sleepy Hole Golf Course fees are recommended
<br />to increase ~ on weekdays and $1 on weekends. I am also recommending that
<br />cart rental fees increase 50~ for nnine holes and $1.00 for 18 holes bringing
<br />these rates to $5.80 and $11.00 respectively. These modest increases will bring
<br />the schedule into alignment with comparable public courses in the area.
<br />
<br />The Children's Museum
<br />all visitors. I have
<br />with this fee.
<br />
<br />fee is recommended to be established at a ~1.00 rate for
<br />s~oken with the Fine Arts Commission and they concur
<br />
<br />The General Assembly has enacted legislation permitting the assessment and
<br />ta×atio~ on partially completed property (under construction). I am proposing
<br />~o modify the existing local ordinance to encompass the provisions of this
<br />State legislation.
<br />
<br />g o
<br />
<br />The FY 1985 Classification and Pay Plan which establishes the pay ranges and
<br />classifications of all employees, as well as setting the procedures for adminis-
<br />tering the plan, has been u~dated to reflect the operating budget and its
<br />modifications.
<br />
<br /> These items complete the package to set in place the operating budget beginning July 1,
<br />1984. I recommend to you their adoption."
