The special meeting was for the purpose of reviewing the following departments
budget: Police department, Water & Sewer, Water & Sewer Distribution, Civil
Defense, Cemetary.
Police Department.
Under straight time for police, that total figure -does not reflect replacing an
officer who is retiring. However, the City was informed by the Department of
Transportation that if we do not replace that officer they will not fund one of
the officers. The agreement was that we would not utilize the Traffic Control
Grant to supplement the officers we currently have. Since the officer will not
be replaced we have to add half of his salary and benefits so we have to reduce the
Traffic Control Grant by $11 ,500.00 and add that to the net operating budget.
