<br />REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 1971
<br />u
<br />REGULAR MEETING - RECONVENED (Cont.)
<br />RESOLUTION NO. 283 -71 (Cont.)
<br />"We are transferring $1,000.00 from Account 322, Oil & Lubrication; $1,500.00 "
<br />from Account 312, Fuel Oil and $500 -00 from Account 333, Other Institutional
<br />& Medical. There is a surplus in these accounts because of better purchasing
<br />practices and other favorable conditions that have existed during the year.
<br />The total of the above accounts $3,000.00 is being transferred into account
<br />321, Gasoline. The shortage in the gasoline account is due to under budgeting,
<br />more vehicles and slightly higher price for gasoline. The Park Department has
<br />received over $2,283.00 from the State Auditor in gasoline tax refund (non -
<br />highway use which we pay eight cents a gallon tax on) which money has been
<br />deposited in the General Park Fund.
<br />Other transfer: Account 373, Recreation Supplies - $700.00 to Account 372,
<br />Zoo Feed. Increased prices in zoo feed (corn, hay, horse meat, etc.) and under
<br />budgeting has caused the shortage in Account 372, Zoo Feed. A surplus in
<br />Account 373, Recreation Supplies because of high inventory of supplies on hand
<br />at this time. Account 43, Repair Parts - $800.00 to Account 442, General Park
<br />Materials.
<br />A surplus in Account 43 because of less breakdowns in equipment and in
<br />better preventive maintenance programs. The shortage in Account 442, General
<br />Park Materials is due partly to our renovation at Potawatomi Zoo. The
<br />purchases of paint, lumber, pipe, fixtures, valves, couplings, etc. has
<br />caused the shortage. Account 63, Retirement Fund - $3,400.00 to Account 64,
<br />Hospital Insurance. The retirement fund, a new account last year, was esti-
<br />mated a little higher than will be actually needed for this years retirement
<br />payments. The shortage in Account 64, Employees Group Insurance is due to
<br />the increasing of insurance rates and the fact that life insurance was not
<br />figured in the appropriation when the 1971 budget was submitted to the
<br />Common Council.

<br />provements programs are relocated into decent, safe, and sanitary housing in accordance with the
