<br />TO: Account 214.0, Services Contractual, Telephone, the amount
<br />of $1,000.00. Rate increases have practically left this account in
<br />a helpless situation. Budget for 1975 - $7,500.00.
<br />TO: Account 221.0, Services Contractual, Electric Current, the
<br />amount of $15,518.85. A shortage has occurred in this account because
<br />of underbudgeting, the added rate increases and the addition of
<br />lighted park and recreational facilities. Budget for 1975 - $63,000.00.
<br />TO: Account 251.0, Services Contractual, Buildings, Structures
<br />and Repair, the amount of $1,000.00. This is one account which is
<br />difficult to budget as no one can foresee what repair problems may
<br />come up. Many a times we sit in frustration when boiler and refrigera-
<br />tion breakdowns occur. Budget for 1975 - $7,000.00.
<br />TO: Account 260.0, Services Contractual, Other Contractual
<br />Services, the amount of $1,500.00. Increases in landfill charges,
<br />exterminating and veterinarian fees have caused a shortage in this
<br />account. Budget for 1975 - $22,575.00.
<br />TO: Account 321.0, Supplies, Gasoline, the amount of $8,000.00.
<br />Continued increases in prices and heavier mowing of grass this year have
<br />been a constant drain on this account. Budget for 1975 - $26,500.00.
<br />TO: Account 331.0, Supplies, Household, Laundry and Cleaning,
<br />the amount of $300.00. Price increases in paper products and janitorial
<br />supplies are hard to cope with. This request for $300.00 will pull the
<br />department through the remainder of the year. Budget for 1975 - $6,000.00.
<br />TO: Account 372.0, Supplies, Zoo Feed, the sum of $1,500.00.
<br />Inflation has hit this account just like one is faced with higher prices
<br />at the local supermarkets. To adequately maintain a balanced diet for
<br />the zoo inhabitants, this request is an absolute necessity. Budget for
<br />1975 - $26,000.00.
<br />TO: Account 430.0, Materials, Repair Parts, the amount of
<br />$2,000.00. To keep all equipment in top- operating condition takes
<br />quite a few repair parts. Price increases on virtually all parts have
<br />wiped out our budget to say the least. Budget for 1975 - $14,000.00.
<br />TO: Account 440.0, Materials, Other Materials, the amount of
<br />$3,000.00. This is the "catch all" account and was underbudgeted for
<br />1975. Material usage and price increases are hard to live by. Budget
<br />for 1975 - $26,000.00.
<br />TO: Account 510.0, Current Charges, Insurance, the amount of
<br />$4,311.00. A shortage has developed because of a general rate increase
<br />after the budget was submitted for Council approval. Budget for
<br />1975 - $26,000.00.
