28.0248 Maintenance Contracts - Vehicles: has been increased only by the anticipated inflationary factor of 7 %. However, the present 1976 budget number for Mainten- ance Contracts — Vehicles is 28.0243, which interferes with the budget subscription of another City Department, (Photographing & Blueprinting). Therefore if possible, we would like to change the Maintenance Contracts - Vehicles budget number in 1977 to 28.0248. 28.0255 Lab Tests Wastewater: has decreased 42% for 1977. The cost for the quarters of 1976 was 4,050.73. We feel $20,000.00 will be enough money for 1977. 28.0321 Gasoline: reflects an anticipated 27% inflationary increase. 28.0363 Office Supplies: shows a decrease of 33 %. The 1976 Budget was overstated in error. 28.0374 Meter Repair Parts: has decreased $13,000. We have been purchasing all registers and generators for the ROM Meters from the General Fund, since the new meter parts are a definate improvement to our plant and equipment. We are going to purchase them from the Deprecation Fund under Plant and Equipment Water Meters #755. 28.0376 Computer and Billing Supplies: has been reduced 25 %. The new water bill has eliminated mailing and return envelopes. 28.0382 Maintenance Supplies Distribution System: Increased 24%. We are now buying our own repair parts, which the plumbers use to repair stop boxes and other valves. We save from $5.00 to $10.00 per job. 28.0580 Gross Income Tax: reflects an 8% decrease. This is due to an over estimate in the 1976 budget. Total gross income tax in 1975 was $40,966.88. 28.0640 Group Insurance: increased 33 %. At the present time we are talking with other insurance companies. The remainder of the General Fund Accounts either reflect a 7% inflationary increase or no increase at all.
