Persons in attendance included Councilmen: Voorde, Crone, McGann and Szymkowiak, John Leszczynski, Joe Kernan, Paula Freeman and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. The purpose of the meeting was to review four Bills referred to the Committee at the last Common Council meeting. City Controller Kernan then highlighted Bill 13-82 . This Bill would appropriate $808, 549.00 from the Water Works General Fund to various other line-item accounts . Mr . Kernan explained that the purpose of the Bill was to restore all the accounts to the budget amounts which were passed by the Council last fall . He noted that when the entire budget book was presented to the Tax Commissioners , they cut back $808, 549 .00 from the Water Works budgets even though they had no legal authority to do so . He further noted that the deficit amount should become smaller beginning with the month end report for February. He further noted that the deficit showing for several of the corporation general accounts were due to delinquent taxes and thus 1982 monies would have to be used to pay 1981 bills . He speculated that approximately $200 , 000 . 00 was delinquent in the General Fund, and $300 , 000 . 00 overall.
