CALL TO ORDER
Budget Sub-Committee Chairman John Landwehr opened the meeting at 6:00 P.M. with a few
remarks about the process to be followed with regard to additions, deletions and modifications to
these budgets. Chairman Landwehr then turned the meeting over to Rich Mays to review the
Revenue items of the General Fund budget.
The first budget reviewed was that of the Police Department. Additional information was
requested about the items included in the Non-Departmental budget. The next part of the
discussion centered around the over-time and part-time items in the budget. The next item for
discussion was the request for vehicle replacements as well as some computer equipment.
The School Resource Officer, M.U.S.T.A.N.G. and the 911 Communications Center were also
reviewed. Most of the discussion centered around the grant funding for the staffing of these
programs.
The committee then reviewed the Police Department request from the ½ cent sales tax budget.
There were only two items: the 911 Communications Center and the Firing Range.
The next department reviewed was that of the Fire Department. Most of the discussion centered
around the need for additional personnel and the expansion at Fire Station #1 and #5. Next the ½
cent sales tax item was reviewed.
Then the committee turned its attention to the Parks and Recreation Department. Each of the
operating divisions were reviewed with special emphasis on the staffing and the hours of
operation. A number of the divisions request included funding for seasonal pay adjustments and
increasing the part-time hours.
Bill Lockwood then discussed the status of some of the projects included in the ½ cent sales tax
budget.
