2 <br /> w <br /> requested to be budgeted in the sinking fund for a lease- <br /> purchase possibility. It was noted that the location would <br /> be downtown and that a decision would be made later this <br /> year. <br /> Mr. Agostino noted that PERF and group insurance are being <br /> increased and that stationary and paper costs are increasing <br /> in light of the fact that the City will be sending an <br /> envelope along with it's water billings, effective March <br /> 1991. It was noted in response to a question raised by <br /> Council Member Puzzello that this would eliminate many <br /> citizen complaints in this area. It was also noted that the <br /> cost for postage in light of the new billing and envelope <br /> would also be increased. The overall cost would be an <br /> additional $50,000. 00 to change from a postcard to an <br /> envelope billing procedure. <br /> Counci Member Niezgodski had several questions with regard <br /> to gasoline, maintenance, and supplies and was advised that <br /> the other supplies cost reflect the actual spending. <br /> Council Member Voorde voiced concern with regard to the lack <br /> of input by the Council with regard to the possibility of <br /> building options for the Water Works facility. Mr. <br /> Leszczynski noted that the City needs definite figures and <br /> that the City Administration would sit down with the Council <br /> in Executive Sessions before any decisions are made. Council <br /> Member Voorde suggested that a combined services center <br /> should be considered and perhaps joining other public <br /> entities in a facility should be pursued. <br /> Council Member Luecke questioned whether the computer <br /> charges reflect the new system and was advised that they do. <br /> Council Member Puzzello noted an increase in instruction and <br /> was advised that the instruction necessary for the <br /> electronic leak locator training was the reason for such an <br /> increase. Council Member Puzzello also questioned whether <br /> there would be increased rates in 1991. The Committee was <br /> advised that the rates would not be increased in 1991, but <br /> they would be recommended sometime in the future. Mr. <br /> Augostino also noted that rate reviews should be done every <br /> four years. <br /> The Committee then reviewed the Water Works Depreciation <br /> Fund, located on page 10 of the Preliminary Budget book <br /> which is requesting a 1991 budget of $1, 015,558.00. Mr. <br /> Agostino noted that the figures on page 10 should be <br /> corrected to reflect this figure as opposed to the <br /> $1,215,558.00 set forth in the budget. He specifically noted <br /> that line item 363 entitled "Equipment Repair" should be <br /> $164, 621.00 as opposed to $264,621. 00 <br />
