Presentation of Resolution
Mayor Carpenter stated that this Special Meeting of the Council was called to consider a
Resolution setting the date for a public hearing prior to the passage of the Annual Appropriation Bill for
the City of Caldwell.
The Mayor informed the Council in that the total proposed appropriation for budgeted funds for the
Fiscal Year 1970 was in an amount of $1,516,498.23 compared with the total appropriation for budgeted funds i
for Fiscal Year 1969 of $1,357,860.22 or an increase of :$158,638.01. He said that the three departments of �
h
the City where difficulties and been encountered in financing were the Street Department, the Fire Dapartmen ,
and the General Fund influenced by the financing of the Police Department. With reference to tho Police
Department, the Mayor siad that the last time any officers had been added to the force was in the year 1958
and that this year the City would like to place the personnel on a 42 hour work week which would require the ,j
addition of two patrolmen and one matron to the department, also, in the Ceneral Fund budget was an amount 11
245
$20,000.00 for planning which had been proposed to start the City's comprehensive planning process and con-
sidered as a number one priority. With reference to the Street Department he said the mayor problem in
financing was the $46,000.00 committed as the City's share to the State Highway Department for the eompleti
of Blaine Street extension and was a big item in the budget, although there were a number of other items
which needed to be done this year in order to fulfill obligations which were set in prior years and also in
order to develop future projects for the next couple of years. With reference to the Fire Department, the
Mayor said there hadn't been any increase in personnel since 1953 and in order to offset call backs and have
an opportunity to have adequate manpower on fires, it had been proposed that two men be added to the depart-
ment. He also stated that, at some time in the near future and with the approval of the Council, they would
like to go to a three platoon system. The Mayor also informed the Council that there were nominal increases
In salaries for employees in all departments to help meet the cost of living increase. Mayor Carpenter said
that this was an explanation of the basic reasons for the increase in the proposed appropriations and that
the other departments of the City were within the 4% tax limitation and/or within the anticipated receipts
for those departments from other sources than taxes,
Mayor Carpenter then informed the Council that the anticipated revenue for 1970 was in an amount
of $1,492024,55; that in this amount was taxes of $600,816,54 including $33,757.36 of sales tax replacement
revenue, and other revenue from other sources of $891 He then said that in comparing these figures,
it did appear that there would need to be somewhere around a 12% increase in taxes over the amount levied fcn
1969.
Councilman Keys inquired then in that if the proposed amounts were appropriated, wouldn't this
necessitate the City going before the State Tax Commission for an increase in levy for taxes and Mayor
Carpenter stated that this would then be a determination of the Council as to whether they wished to appeal
to the State Tax Commission or call for an election.
In answer to the question by Councilman Banks in that, if the amount requested was granted by the
State Tax Commission for this year, how would this affect next year's taxes, the City Clerk stated that it
was his understanding that the period during which the permitted increase in tax revenues would continue and
the amount, would be a Dart of the determination of the State Tax Commiasicn.
In answer to the question by Councilman Davenport, Mayor Carpenter said that the proposed increase
in taxes would be approximately 8% over the allowable 4n under H.D. 304.
Also, in answer to the question by Councilman Keys, with reference to the Blaine Street extension
and if a request for an increase in taxes was not granted, woula there be any other recourse; Mayor Carpenter
stated that he didn't know of any other than to increase the overdraw in that fund.
Councilman Martin stated that the City was now faced with the end result of keeping faith in
rolling back the levies when the phaseout of the inventory tax began; hadn't appealed last year under the
provisions of House Bill 304, and now have an accumulation of committments and needs for additional
services which places the City in a corner, so to speak.
