21 COMMUNICATION FROM THE MAYOR
22
23 Mayor Roger Cornett commented on several ordinances before Council tonight. He noted that Ordinance
24 No. 63 - 1993 addressed the salary of the police officers and was similar to the ordinance Council passed
25 August 2 for the firefighters giving a five percent across the board raise. He said Steve Brown was the
26 chairman of the bargaining committee and David Rourke, president of the F.O.P.,was also a member of that
27 committee and Otto Meuser and Kent Haisley had sat in on negotiations on behalf of the City. He noted that
28 several of the ordinances deal with the 1994 budget and that Councilmembers had been given additional
29 information showing the current salaries and positions, percentage increase, amount for next year and the
30 range for that job and position within the range that the 1994 salary will include. He said any additional
31 information will be provided upon request so that when Councilmembers discuss the ordinances within the
32 Committee of the Whole they will have all the information at their disposal.
33
34 Mayor Cornett said two of the ordinances are special ordinances appealing to the State Board of Tax
35 Commissioners and he encouraged Councilmembers to keep those with the budget ordinances since they
36 also apply to the 1994 budget. He added that three of the ordinances have to do with adjustments to this
37 year's budget, noting that all of these have been put together in total good faith and adding that Council has
38 until September 30 to act on the budget. He said he would anticipate some adjustments would be made in
39 the Committee of the Whole meetings. City Controller Dennis Grimes said these have been set for August
40 25 and August 26 which would give him a week to prepare the adjustments in time for the September 7
41 Council meeting.

50 Telecommunications Council and asked about the request Council had made to the Board about the billing
51 procedures of TCI. Earnest Jarvis, Director of Public Works and member of the Board,said he believed that
52 Chairperson Jan Hibner had requested that TCI come back before the Board in the near future,adding that a
53 couple of the Board members did not agree with TCI in the way it was doing the billing of the five percent fee
54 and wanted clarification.
55

57 situation and she thanked Dave Gilland for taking care of the problem.

58
59 Milligan explained that this ordinance deals with the pension fund and is a de-appropriation of the amount of
60 the pension fund which has to be budgeted as required by law for officers who are eligible to receive benefits
61 in the first six months of the fiscal year. He said these sums are $127,875 in the fire pension fund and
62 $113,177 in the police pension fund and were not expended from January 1 through June 30 because
63 officers who became eligible to retire elected not to. Therefore the money can be removed from the
64 appropriation and included in the cash balance. In answer to Councilmember Parker's question, Milligan said
65 it goes into the general fund, noting that it is part of the overall frozen levy and this enables the City to take
advantage of these amounts for the purpose of budgeting next year so the City has a larger cash balance
available for all of the funds that are governed by the frozen levy.Totals last year,Grimes said, responding to
Councilmember Parker's question were$144,380 for fire and$101,700 for police.

2,
2- "WHEREAS it has been determined that it is necessary to seek relief from the property tax levy limitations
2; imposed by Indiana Code 6-1.1-18.5-3 because the City of Richmond, Indiana, has experienced a property

4;
4 Milligan explained that the first part of the ordinance has to do with the general fund of Common Council,
4: asking for a transfer of$500 from the travel account to the printing account and the second part deals with
4' the public transit fund which is not part of the general fund. He said Roseview Transit operations to date
51 indicate that insurance premiums will be about$15,000 less than anticipated when the budget was prepared
5 and with the year end.projections it was, advised that the money be transferred to repair parts. He said
5. repairs are badly needed to keep the buses running and it is necessary to continue to repair the old units. He
5 added that this does not have to go to the State Tax Board for approval because itdeals with public transit
5 funds. Councilmember Parker asked when the City will be receiving its three new buses and Jarvis
5' responded that they are expected the end of October. He added that all of the six buses the City now has
5: have 200,000-plus miles and experience almost daily breakdowns. He said the three new buses will be used
5 on the longest and heaviest traveled routes, adding that the City-will. sell the three old buses that are
5: replaced by the new-ones.

22 The Clerk read Ordinance No. 75 - 1993 - AN APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 1993
23 BUDGET
24
25 Milligan explained that this involves the public transit fund and has to do with motor equipment. He said the
26 appropriation was there primarily because of income that was anticipated in the event President Clinton's
27 economic stimulus package was passed. He added that since the package failed, it was necessary to delete
28 the $88,544 from the budget, noting that it was not being transferred any place but that appropriation was
29 simply being removed because that source of income will not be realized. He,said it was more or less a
30 simple housekeeping matter.
31
32 Grimes further explained that Ordinance No. 27- 1993 asked for additional appropriation in April that would
33 allow the City to purchase two additional buses through the revenue that was supposed to be realized from
34 President Clinton's economic stimulus package. He added that it was defeated but in between the time that it
35 went to the State Tax Board and was approved, it was defeated in the U.S. Senate so when it came back
36 approved he did not put it in the budget but it is a number that he needs to be authorized to remove from the
37 authority to spend. Grimes explained that the State Tax Board approved it and whenever that Board figures
38 the new incoming budget they take into consideration the original budget as it was passed last December
39 plus any additional appropriations so they would include this amount and the City Controller has to have a
40 legal document to remove it.

1 r BUDGET
1
1- Milligan said this constitutes an additional appropriation since it is money not being transferred from another
1 appropriation and it has to go before the State Tax Board."He added that tonight's hearing is the published
1, hearing to comply with the additional appropriations law and this is the night for the public hearing.
1. .
1; Councilmember Allen said she wanted to know that this donation of $4,284.00 was specifically geared for
1 HELP the Animals Inc. and this.ordinance does not state that. Milligan responded that at Council's last
1. meeting members went through the process of authorizing the donation and this sets up the appropriation.
1' He added that the actual designation of•the donation and the entity to receive that donation would simply be
2f done by a motion in a future meeting and Council as a department would actually be authorizing this
2 disbursement. Councilmember Allen moved that this amount 'be allocated.to HELP the Animals Inc.
2. Responding to Councilmember"McBride's question about the status.of the bid for the new contract,Milligan
2 said the bid has not been re-let. He said the specifications are in the process of being finalized and the bid
2, will be let for the remainder of this administration which is through December 1995.
2
2: Councilmember Dickman questioned whether Council would be setting a precedent with this action, asking
2 whether or not this would have to be done every year when whoeverwins;the contract runs short of money.
2: Councilmember McBride said he would prefer to withhold any vote until the new contract is let.
2* Councilmember Hutton commented that she felt the money should be used for educational programs and
30 the sooner it is used the better off .the City will be. Councilmember Allen said she had received some
3 communication about many cities that have passed ordinances regarding spaying and neutering and she felt
3 Council should consider something along those lines. In answer to President Lundy's question, Milligan said
3 he expected the new contract to be let in September. He said it is not appropriate at this,time for Council to
3• designate where the money is going to-go and added that this action is simply to fund it to the possibility of
3• giving the money away in the future.At that time, he added, Council will have to specify where the money is
3: to go and that will be a part of that particular ordinance. He reminded Councilmembers that they had
3 amended the section of the ordinance that permits the fees to be used for this. He said this ordinance will
3: permit a donation of the total amount but does not require Council to designate the entire amount but will
3' authorize a donation upto the amount. '
4, .
4 Councilmember Donat commented that this issue has dragged on and on and asked if that ordinance
4- designating where the money is to go would be on the table at Council's next meeting. Milligan said the
money could not be spent until the State Tax Board approves it and Grimes.commented that it usually takes
• about two weeks for that action to be completed which meant that it is possible to have it for the September
4•, 7 Council meeting.' She noted that she had already requested a condition be put iri the ordinance about
4• spaying and neutering,adding that it should also contain a provision for the automatic spaying and neutering
4 of animals picked up numerous times.She said she would like to see such an ordinance before the Council.
4: - . . .. .
4• Milligan said that a differential in.fees was discussed in a Committee of the Whole meeting last year to
50 encourage neutering and it was Council's decision not to do that. Councilmember Donat responded that
5 since then some of the Council members have talked together and decided that an incentive is needed
5 because of the number-of animals which have had to be euthanized. She noted_thatit would be strictly a
5 humanitarian,measure because too many animals are being put to death. She asked that,a new ordinance
5• be brought forward but said it was also possible to,amend the ordinance.passed last year.
5 _ .
5° President Lundy declared Ordinance No.58--1993 on public hearing. .•
5 • .
5: Speaking in favor.•of the ordinance was Gary Lowmaster, volunteer Board member and treasurer for HELP
5° the Animals Inc. He said thatback.in 1991 when the shelter began its service to the community.it brought in
60 550 animals plus the City contributed 1,558 for a total of 2,108; in 1992,there was an animal control officer
6 and the number increased_to 833 animals and the City contributed 1,287.for a total of 2,110;.and so far in
6 1993.the animal control-intake has been 434 animals and 516 from the City: In that same period in 1991,. the
6• County contributed-526,_and in 1992 a total of 460 but only 130 in 1'993. .. .

1 He said the shelters cost has fluctuated and right now costs for 1993 are running somewhere around $45
2 per animal which is for the shelter provided, needed supplies and medical treatment. He asked Council to
3 approve the ordinance and contribute to the shelter serving the City, adding that it has an active spaying and
4 neutering program with bills to the veterinarian for this program averaging between $11,000 and $12,000 per
5 year.
6
7 Speaking against Ordinance No. 58 - 1993 was Richard F. Longer, 5309 National Road East, president of
8 the Board of Directors of the Animal Welfare League. He said they had been in business more than 30 years
9 and had the City's animal shelter contract all but the last two years. He added that they had never come
10 before Council or the Board of Works to ask for additional money, but lived within its budget. He said the
11 shelter also has a spaying and neutering program, explaining that they do not charge the people when they
12 come in and adopt the animal and do not charge in advance. He said they pay up to$25 per animal and help
13 the people pay for the spaying. The way it works, he said, is that people pay the veterinarian and the shelter
14 sends a check to the individuals paying up to $25 for each spaying and neutering done. He added that the
15 bill of $11,000 to $12,000 that HELP the Animals Inc. is paying out, they're collecting in, so there should be
16 no reason for them to ask for more money when they set their own price so they should live within their own
17 budget. He said he is opposed to them asking for more money since they knew what it cost to operate the
18 shelter when they signed the contract. He told Councilmembers that his shelter would be willing to take the
19 contract over and operate the remainder of the year at$1,583 per month and would be glad to do it with no
20 need for an additional appropriation.
21
22 Councilmember Donat said HELP the Animals Inc.did not ask for this money, explaining that an emergency
23 board meeting was held in which the shelter's dire financial condition was brought to light. As liaison from
24 Council to the shelter she said she reported the problem to Council and at that time a Councilmember made
25 the suggestion that the money received from the dog tag sales be offered and Councilmember Allen had
26 followed it up by offering this ordinance.
27
28 Councilmember Hutton moved for engrossment, second by Councilmember Donat and the motion was
29 carried by an 8-1 voice vote with Councilmember McBride voting against.
30
31 Councilmember Hutton moved to suspend the rules and advance Ordinance No. 58 - 1993 to third and final
32 reading and read by title only, second by Councilmember Allen and stayed on third reading by a vote of 8-1
33 with Councilmember McBride voting against.
