Preliminary Budget: Mayor Andersen went over the proposed 2012/2013 Budget.
Director Prouse researched the cost of snow plows, used plows were approximately $70,000 and
brand new custom plows were approximately $140,000. Prouse suggested instead of purchasing
a snow plow the City should purchase a dump truck with a snow plow attachment that way, the
vehicle could be used year round. Director Prouse will look at some different options to present
next month.
Council Member Geray suggested keeping the expected revenues low and expenses high to
remain conservative, like what has been done in the past.
Council suggested increasing the reserves revenue and equipment expense to help cover the cost
of the dump truck and not become dependent on revenue share dollars.
Adjourned 6:55 pm.
