t t Personnel & Finance Committee Minutes - 8/12/87 Page 4 Mrs. Gammon noted that line item 4399 , Other Contractuals, represented the lease-purchase rental on the new copier which is a three (3) year agreement. It was indicated that there has been little if any cooperation with the motor vehicle department in Indianapolis concerning the traffic ticket situation. Mr. Vance indicated that PERF is two (2) quarters behind on their postings . COMMON COUNCIL Page 1.A.006 - requested 1988 budget of $302 , 516.00 representing a 3. 4% increase . Mr. Vance noted that he has not received any assessed valuation figures from the County Auditor's Office. He noted that there would be a reassessment but that this will probably not be done until 1989. He indicated that this is the first time he has not received such estimates. He further indicated that $1.3 million would need to be cut from the proposed budget to have a zero tax increase. It was noted that line item 4399, Other Contractuals, proposed at $139,050 is the last payment in a two (2) year cycle of the costs for the city election. It was further indicated that the Promotional Expense account , 4335 , proposed at $2 , 600 was a relatively new account for the Council to promote the city. Currently, $500 of the budgeted amount has been spent by the Council. Mr. Vance suggested that perhaps this account could be used for the outstanding expenditures still remaining on the Special Olympics project. Councilman Zakrzewski was supportive of such a proposal if funds were still available at the end of the calendar year . Councilman Beck indicated that the Council Attorney is required, as are all other attorneys, to attend Continuing Legal Education seminars in order to retain her license. She noted that there was at least one occasion in the past where the Council refused to reimburse the registration fee for a municipal seminar in Indianapolis. She expressed hope that this would not reoccur since quality legal services have been provided to the Council for several years . PARK DEPARTMENT Page 2.A.001 - requested 1988 budget of $4,494, 220 representing a 7. 1% increase .
