discussions and changes are as follows:
Managerial Dept: Regarding Mr. Campbells recommendations that the Secretary's
salary be changed to the Managerial Dept.s Mr. Myers stated that when we
move to the new City Halls a full time secretary to the City Manager will be
necessary. He did not feel that she could function as secretary and dispatcher
both at that time. The Council agreed to this and the secretary's salary was
transfered back to the City Clerk and Police Dept. for the time being. After
some discussions on P~,aintenance and Operatiorss Mr. Myers noted that the
total for this Dept. was down from last year and it was approved as presented.

help be put back into the budget. This was approved by the Council. After
some aiscusseions t~ir. Myers said this was a conservative budget and we should
go as presented.

City Halls a payroll clerk be hireds allowing the City Treasurer to perform
only the normal duties of that office. The Council agreed. This budget was
approved as presented.
City Attorneys Dept: and Municipal Court: The City Attorneys Office and the
Municipal Court were discussed together and because of the tight budget the
City Attorney recommended leaving his salary as it was last years for the time
beings so a City Prosecutor could be hired. He also strongly recommended that
the Judges Fee be increased. C. F. DeLaFleur is acting Prosecutor. This was
approved by the Council.
Police Dept After much discussions the Council agreed to take this up after
discussing the rest of the budget.
Fire Dept: Budget for this dept. includes hiring of one paid Fireman to also
act as Fire P~4arshall. Mr. Ball recommended as of the first of the years if
any money is available from supplemental appropriationss other than the 1~
Sales Tax to be used for the Parks before we hire any other personnel in the
Citys this be used to hire additional firemen. The Council agreed. The Fire
Chief questioned omitting money for Fire Prevention and Training. P~ir. Campbell
stated that this would come from Revenue Sharing Interest. The Fire Chief
