Personnel and Finance Committee Mrs. Barnard noted that in addition to the requested $657, 924 from the Civil City Budget that she receives additional monies from Community Development of $212,000, $87,000 and $60,000 for demolition. Similar supplements will be recommended for 1987. Carol Sanders then gave an update with regard to last evening's meeting with the Humane Society. She again noted that the Humane Society was unwilling to furnish various information to the City which has been requested for a substantial period of time. Following much discussion on this topic, Councilman Braboy made a motion seconded by Councilman Serge that Line Item 397 entitled "Humane Society" be cut by $5,000. 00 which would bring the amount from $142,000 down to the current budgeted amount of $137, 000. The motion passed unanimously. It was also recommended as part of that motion that Mrs. Barnard send a letter from her Department advising the Humane Society of this action and the need for them to cooperate with regard to the various material requested by the City. Councilman Braboy made a motion seconded by Councilman Serge that Line Item 433 be requested in the amount of $768 and that Line Item 431 be reduced to a zero requested amount. The motion passed unanimously.

It was noted that Mr. Charles Leone will soon be resigning. She added that secretarial services as a part of this position were on a contractual basis. Following a review of this budget, Councilman Serge made a motion seconded by Councilman Braboy that the amended Code Enforcement Budget and the proposed Code Enforcement Hearing Officer Budget be accepted and recommended favorably to the Council.

Councilman Voorde questioned what the current status of the "police cadet program" was and was informed this was a program which ended in 1978 or 79. It used to provide services for 25 cadets where they worked 20 hours per week during the school year, would work 40 hours per week during the summer months and was funded by the Federal Government. Such cadets would also be attending local universities.
