The Mayor reported on the meeting of the Finance Committee held December .18, to discuss possible
transfers of funds to the Current Expense Fund and the Swimming Pool Construction Fund. The
anticipated over expenditure of the Swimming Pool Construction, as of December 3l, being $7,134.66
due to extras and additions authorized during construction of pool, it was recommended that $7,200[:
be transferred from the Park Dept. surplus cash balance to take care of this deficit. The transfe~
to be paid back in 1964. A $30,000,00 transfer from the Light Department surplus cash balance to I
the Current Expense Fund was recommended to forstall any deficit in that fund, due to some esti-
mated receipts from the State which have not yet been received, This amount also to be paid back
in 1964.
A .lengthy discussion was had concerning the necessity for these transfers and why the Current Ex-
pense Fund is so near dep,letion, Councilman Wolfe pointed out that Some of the difficulties seem
, to arise from an over estimate on receipts into the Current Expense Fund, the budgeting for ex-
penditure of all estimated receipts, and the lack of direct taxation millage in the fund the past
i two or three years to keep a "working capital" balance built up in the fund.
