HomeMy WebLinkAbout08-27-62 Council Committee of the Whole Meeting MinutesBe it remembered that the Common Council of the City of South Bead, Indiana, met in the Committee of the Whole in the Council Chambers on Monday, August 27, 1962, at 8:04 P.M., with all members present. The meeting was called to order by Councilman T. W. Lehman, Chairman, who introduced Mayor Frank J. Bruggner, who addressed the Councilmen as follows "First, I would like to announce that I have requested every City Department Head to review carefully his budget and make all possible cuts within the bounds of continued efficient service to the Public. "On Monday, August 27, I will recommend to the Common Council certain cuts in various Budget Items which I feel can be made without jeopardizing essential services to our citizens. "As you know, the proposed Civil City Tax Rate, as it now stands, is about 25 cents per hundred dollar valuation more than the 1962 rate. I would point out that about 15 cents of this increase represents absolutely necessary expenditure. For example, six cents is for minimum civil city salary raises "voted by the Council. Another five cents is for the authorized city improvements bond issue, and about four cents covers the expenses for the City Elections and Registration office next year. "As you know, this administration has placed heavy stress on 'HOLDING THE LINE' on expenses. In fact, as you may remember, we were able to actually decrease the Civil City Tax Rate for this year from the 1961 rate. "It should be clearly understood that the Tax Rate is composed of five separate budgeting units. of which the Civil City is only one. In'the proposed 1963 Tax Rate of $8.96, the largest segment is represented by the School City and Library. It is well to note that, in the 1963 proposed Budget, the Civil City's percentage of the tax rate actually is less than the 1962 rate. "In 1962, the Civil City percentage of the total rate was 34.47.. In the proposed 1963 budget, the Civil City percentage is 34.1% and I am hopeful that this will be reduced even more by the cuts I will recommend to the Council tonight ". Mayor Bruggner asked the City Clerk to read his prepared letter addressed to the Council, whish is as follows: August 27, 1962 Members of the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: I am setting out herein suggestions and recommendations for reductions to be made in the proposed budget to be considered this evening at the Public Hearing. I want to commend each of you for your tedious efforts and your cooperation with me in the consideration of ways and means to reduce the proposed budget.
