The Council met pursuant to call and acknowledgement of notice in the following form: We, the undersigned Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City Council of Caldwell, Idaho, do hereby acknowledge notice of a special Meeting of the said City Council to be held in the Council Chamber in the City Hall of Caldwell, Idaho, at the hour of 8;00 P.M. on the 15th day of March, 1972, for the trans- action of all business in connection with the following object: Consideration of a Resolution e &lling .a - public meeting for the purpose of granting a public hearing before the appropriation bill shall be passed by the Mayor and Council. Upon Roll Call, the following Councilmen answered present: Alfred H. McCluskey, C. A. 12 rhet" Davenport, Joe Camboa, James R. Dskan, Lester E. Carter and Charles C. Banks. Absent: None. Presentation of Resolution setting hearing date Mayor Carpenter stated the purpose of this Special Meeting was for the consideration of a Resolu- tion estimating the probable amount of money necessary for all purposes for which an appropriation must be made and containing a statement of the total revenue for the previous fiscal year. He pointed out that mat erial had been placed before each of the Councilmen, consisting of budget comparison sheets which had been reviewed by them on a previous evening and explained that those changes reommended by them at that time had been made and were reflected in the copies presented for this meeting. Mayor Carpenter added in that this budget did cobtain an amount of $380,000.00 for the proposed swimming pool construction and would miticipat about $53,000.00 increase in taxes this year. The Mayor said tht he would try to answer ary of the questia the Councilmen might have concerning the proposed budget. He further commented in that comparing this year budget with last year's budget, he had found that the increases in many of the departments were not substan tially more than for the previous year; however, there had been a larger amount in Accounts Receivable on December 31, 1970 than on December 31, 1971 which made quite a difference in the amount of money available for this year's appropriation. Councilman Dakan inquired concerning an increase in salaries as reflected ii the budget for the Mayor and Council, which he said was approximately $621.00. Mayor Carpenter answered in that the only thing involved here was a 5 -112% raise forhis secretary as had been approved for other City employees, excepting Fireman whose salaries would be provided for tinder separate agreement; plus the additional contribution for the fringe benefits. This was discussed, and it was agreed that the amount would be re- examined. Councilman Dakan then referred to the $13,000.00 cut on the ommbined Swimming Pool and Recreation budget. He stated that out of $25,000.00 budgeted the previous year, leaving $11,000.00 in the present bud get and adding another approximate amount of $2,500.00 to get a program going for senion citizens, adults and children for nine months of the year, was not an unreasonable request. He said that he didn't think the Council should eliminate that program when the people involved had worked so hard, and he felt a lot of consideration was put into the request to cut it down from $15,000.00 a year for a full -time director and supplies to a $2,500.00 reauest. Councilman Dakan also mentioned that the Recreation Board was going to Witness our signatures this 15th day of March, 1972: /11 1 M 234 administrate the program and Mr. Derrell Deide was going to handle most of the details. Mayor Carpenter stated that he had no objections to leaving this amount in the budget; although he thought the Council had agreed that this was an area where this amount of money could be eliminated in arriv Log at a balance for the budget. Councilman Dakan pointed out that this was nine months worth of work, and is didn't think the City would ever hire anybody for less than that; and also stated that he was sorry he wadn't been aware of this at the previous meeting. After some further discussion, it was agreed that this amount of money should be placed back into the proposed appropriation. Councilman Gamboa inquired concerning the salaries for the airport, and Mayor Carpenter explained that this amount had been provided to take care of any salary expenses incurred by the Street Department, by the Sanitation Department, or other City Departments, in any work that they might perform during the year at the airport.

He then inquired of the City Clerk and Finance Director if this situation would be the same next year. John Fnglehart answered in that the Council must keep in mind that the revenues for this Fiscal year were estimates and said that the financial situation at the close of this year would greatly depend on how accurate those estimates were by Fund and would depend on whether or not the appropriations for each Flmd (when approved) were actually expended in total during the year; that, if the estimates of revenue were accurate, if the funds appropriated were expended, and if the budget requests reflected approximately the same increases another year, then the City was again going to be faced with a similar situation in financin I unless there was some other source of revenue, or, some steps taken this year to increase existing revenues from the present sources. Mayor Carpenter told the Council that he had noticed where the City of Lewiston had set up a license fee for businesses based upon the number of persons employed by each business, and he said they wo surprised that the City of Caldwell didn't have this. After some further discussion, it appeared that the Council was in agreement that the charges presently being made by the City should be revised.
