REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 26, 1974
<br />COMMITTEE ON FINANCE MEETING (CONTINUED)
<br />Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, asked about the increase in
<br />the rents. Council President Nemeth stated that this was for the increase in the fire hydrant
<br />rentals because of the water rate increase. Councilman Miller asked about the maintenance of the
<br />mall which was to be included in other contractuals. Mr. James Barcome, City Controller, stated
<br />that this probably would have to come out of revenue sharing, if the funds were available.
<br />Councilman Miller asked about the purchase of office equipment as requested. Mr. Rollin Farrand,
<br />Director of the Department of Public Works, explained that the present copy machine is very
<br />inadequate. He stated that, if the Council was going to reduce the office equipment to $600, it
<br />might as well reduce the account to zero because $600 would not be sufficient for the purchase of
<br />the machine. Council President Nemeth stated that, in that case, the whole amount of $1,200 could
<br />be left as proposed. Councilman Miller asked about the various copy machines in the building, and
<br />Mr. Barcome stated that the Redevelopment Department, Board of Public Works, Engineering and
<br />Controller's Offices each have a copy machine. He stated that the new machine would not be in
<br />addition to any of the four but would be a replacement which was needed.

<br />Mr. Gene Evans, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, asked if changes could be
<br />made in the salaries. Council President Nemeth stated that any changes must conform to the maxim
<br />amount of the salary passed by the Council in July. Mr. Evans asked if the amount in the other
<br />contractuals account was to remain as proposed, and Council President Nemeth stated that that
<br />amount was a match for the Youth Services Bureau.
