The Roll of the City Council was called with the following members present: - McCluskey, Olesen, Williams, Raymond, and Bauman. Absent: Banks, (PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 1977- 1978) The Mayor explained that this was the night and hour advertised for the Public Hearing on the .proposed budget for 1977 -1978 and the second Public Heating on Revenue Sharing. The Mayor then ` declared the Meeting open for both the Public Hearings— The then called on Don Horan, Finance Director; to report regarding this proposed budget.. Mr..Horan explained that he wanted to point out that the mill levy was held the same as the last two years, but that did not indicate that the budget was the same. The ability to hold the mill levy was based on the fact that the assessed evaluation increased which gave the City the ability to stay even as far as the mill levy was concerned.. Last year's budget included budgeting for much needed equipment; where this year's budget allowed for very little. However, there was extensive federal funding involved such as the airport, a new well, and the -sewer plant. There would be no for the - taxpayers this year. Councilman Raymond requested that Mr. Horan explainthe deletion of the Sanitation Fund. He stated that in the past there was a fund known as the Sanitation Fund. A fund to be in existence must accomplish a purpose. The fund was really the City's percentage of the trash contract or collection. A partial salary was charged to it, but other than that it really had no other function. This fund was discontinued and the revenues generated into the General Fund, which -was about $5,000 per month. Harold Perfect was recgonized and questioned as to why the Shop budget was smaller this year. Mr. Horan'said that this year they were trying to make the Shop:self sustaining. They would be working for other Departments that would then reimburse them. The Finance Director further explained that revenue income can be received into the City, but it could not be spent without opening the budget again. He did emphasize that anytime there was cash on hand, it must be budgeted. Some discussion then followed regarding the possibility of putting together a construction crew to replace water lines. This would be composed of workers that would work well together and could accomplish a great deal that the.Department did not have time to do now. Several more questions were asked by the members of the City Council and discussion continued. The Mayor then declared the Public Hearing closed. There were two people, besides the press, who attended the hearings. The proposed appropriation Bill No. 37 was read by the Mayor as follows: AN ORDINANCE TERMED THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION BILL, APPROPRIATING MONEY IN SUCH SUM AND SUMS AS ARE DEEMED NECESSARY TO DEFRAY ALL PROPER EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES OF THE CITY OF CALDWELL, IDAHO, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING THE FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER, 1977, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 50 -1003, IDAHO CODE: Book 18 Page 239 Be it ordained by the Mayor and Council of the City of Caldwell, Idaho: Section 1.
