Mr. Vance <br /> noted that since the plant was built in 1956 that many of the repairs are <br /> needed, however he would not be against cutbacks of some of the proposed <br /> expenditures if the Council believed this was necessary. <br /> SEWAGE WORKS SINKING FUND, PAGE 90 <br /> This budget is proposed at $69.6,248 an increase of 1%. Next year would <br /> be the last payment on the original bond issue for the plant with the <br /> subordinate bond issue of 3. 1 million dollars taking over. <br /> BUREAU OF SANITATION, PAGES 85'=-87 <br /> This budget is proposed at $1,690, 396 for an increase of 10%.

It was <br /> noted that no interest had accumulated on the account even though it was <br /> a dedicated account because money had been borrowed from it throughout the <br /> year. <br /> BUREAU OF SOLID WASTE, PAGES 62-64 <br /> Thissaccount is proposed at $771, 145 representing a 9% increase. <br /> Following discussion by the Committee it was recommended that line item 376 <br /> uniform rental be decreased by $2,000 leaving a requested budget of $4 ,000. <br /> This would amend the cost center total to $699,145. Mr. Vance noted that <br /> the landfill line item was not adequately budgeted since prices have increased <br /> from 85 cents per cubic yard to $1.85. in the last year. <br /> Following discussion Councilman Beck made a motion seconded by Councilman <br /> Harris to recess until 2 :30 p.m. tomorrow afternoon.
