`Page 3. Personnel and Finance Committee Councilman Serge questioned whether the City had made any progress with regard to the School Corporation taking over the crossing guards. Mr. Vance noted that there have been some preliminary discussion. Councilman Barcome questioned what the present status of the recall situation was and was informed that the budget included 23, 000 hours. Thus Line Item 130 reflects $368,000 for recall of the total amount of $515, 841. Following discussion Councilman Braboy made a motion seconded by Councilman Serge that $30,000 be cut from Line Item 130 entitled "Extra and Overtime" . This cut would bring the amount currently requested at $514, 841 to $484, 841. The motion passed unanimously. It was also noted by Chief Hurley that seven (7) positions within the Department will be civilianized in the near future. Some of which include the Arson Investigator, Fingerprinting, etc. Following discussion on computerization in the Department, Councilman Serge made a motion seconded by Councilman Braboy that $20,000 be cut from Line Item No. 312 entitled "Data Processing" . This cut would decrease the current requested amount of $176, 090 to $156,090. The motion passed unanimously. It was noted that Line Item 360 entitled "Building and Structure Repair" includes a request of $4, 000 to allow a new heating system to be placed at Safetyville.

Following discussion related to Line Item 426 entitled "Furnitures and Fixtures" currently requested at $7, 221, Councilman Serge made a motion seconded by Councilman Braboy that this Line Item be cut by $2, 000. Thus the requested amount would be reduced to $5, 221. The motion passed unanimously. Chief Hurley then noted that the vehicle replacement program which is in place for a five year period has been working effectively. The cost of $508,000 would have been the cost for the replacement of an entire fleet at one time. Now the replacement is on a staggered basis.
