3. DISCUSSION OF CITY ATTORNEY'S ROLL. During
discussion of the City Attorney's departmental budget Mrs.
Lebrett expressed concerns about Attorney Burton's roll.
She felt that there was a perception that Mr. Burton was
the Mayor's legal counsel more than the City's counsel.
She expressed concerns that the proposed planning code
presented at the joint hearing with the county
Commissioners displayed a lack of municipal law expertise.
Also noted was his participation in the Planning and
Zoning Commissions as a "Commissioner", not as legal
counsel. Mr. Burton emphasized that he was the City's
legal counsel and that his changes to the Planning and
Zoning Commissions' work were in the area of organization
and not of substance. The Council took no action.

continued its review of the budget.

2. 911 SYSTEM. The council discussed the requested
funding for 911 system and concerns that the public had
been misinformed into believing that no property taxes
would be required to fund 911. Fire Chief Points explained
that the projected cost overrun was due to the installation
of enhanced 911 rather that the basic system. After
discussion, Points agreed to write a newspaper article to
inform the public of the reasons for the need for property
tax support. While the funds will be appropriated, public
opinion will be assessed to determine if enhanced 9-1-1 is
desired, and if so, the funds will be paid to the County.
3. BUDGET DISCUSSION. The council continued its
discussion of the fiscal year 1992-93 budget. Fire Chief
Points requested that the Council reconsider the $5000 foam
system for Engine #7. After discussion, Van Komen and
Larson stated that the item should not be funded. Lebrett
disagreed. Police Chief Parker stated that he would reduce
his capital budget sufficiently to fund the Detective
Sergeant over a patrol officer. The council agreed by
consensus. Van Komen asked Chief Parker if this
person's primary function was to be drug enforcement.
Chief Parker stated that it was.
