1. Review of 1988 Budget
Manager Flodstrom opened the meeting by presenting Council with a summar-
ized review of the proposed budget reductions. The potential areas of
budget reductions are: (1) Postponement or elimination of the following
1988 programs and /or projects: (A) $693,000 postpone or eliminate
construction of Corporation Yard facilities for City Light field crews; (B)
$100,000 deferring replacement or repairing of equipment; (C) $25,000
reduction of budget authorization for travel costs, schooling and training,
dues and subscriptions; (D) $4,000 go to a quarterly newsletter rather
than a bi- monthly newsletter; (E) $12,700 postpone completion of the
exterior irrigation system at Civic Field and fender pile and rip rap
maintenance at City Pier; (F) $10,000 defer resolution of the tire -fill
problem at the Cemetery; (G) $45,000 the development of comprehensive
storm drain plan will probably occur in late 1988 and 1989. Therefore,
one -half of the cost can be removed from the 1988 Budget.
Council and staff reviewed and commented on the proposed budget reductions.
Mayor McPhee proposed three additional items: (H) $5,000 reduction of
communications costs, Water /Sewer budget; (I) $25,000 $40,000 reduction
of Medic I Program billing users' insurance companies. Manager Flodstrom
commented that this would not reflect a budget reduction, but produce an
additional source of revenue. (J) $15,000 elimination of the City News-
letter.
During the discussion, Councilman Stamon moved to direct staff to prepare
an Ordinance incorporating Items "A" and "B with further information
provided before incorporation; incorporating "C incorporating "E

well as beautification project for $34,461. Councilman Sargent seconded.

2. Scheduling of Additional Meetings to Finalize Amendments to the 1988
Budget
Mayor McPhee called for a motion to re- schedule an additional meeting.
Councilman Hallett spoke in opposition, stating he felt Council should
continue because there was no acceptable reason or requests to change the
budget.

of a second, the motion died.
