Personnel & Finance Minutes/August 7 , 1987 Page 7 Mr . Leszczynski noted that the decrease represents approximately $165 ,000 less than the current budget . Councilman Barcome questioned where the monies would be placed due to the savings afforded by salt and overtime considering the mild winter last year.
