<br />A public hearing on this resolution was held at this time. Mr. Crumpacker said the present set
<br />of reference books came from the City Judge's Chambers when the office was dissolved and were
<br />quite old and not up to date; transfer of these funds will be used to bring the law library up
<br />to date. Miss Guthrie questioned the moneys presently allotted for law books and inquired why
<br />additional moneys were needed. Mr. Crumpacker stated the updating needs to be done from 1957
<br />and that the volumes were expensive. Councilman Janet allen commented that moneys are appro-
<br />priated in each year's budget for books to this library and asked if a search through various
<br />offices in the building might not turn up some of the missing volumes which, in some cases,
<br />might have been borrowed and not returned. She further suggested an inventory of purchases
<br />might be obtained through the purchasing office. Mr. Crumpacker stated there was no way of
<br />knowing if certain purchases were ever made since the records do not go back that far. Council-
<br />man Janet Allen asked if there was a reason this updating should be done this year and ques-
<br />tioned the need for money in the budget for this item each year. Mr. Crumpacker said this was
<br />the year to do this. Councilman Grounds made a motion to adopt the resolution, seconded by
<br />Councilman Szymkowiak. The resolution passed by a roll call vote of 5 ayes, 1 nay, 3 absent
<br />(Councilmen Wise, Palmer and Zielinski).

<br />WHEREAS, certain extraordinary conditions have developed since the adoption
<br />of the existing annual budget, so that it is now necessary to appropriate more money than was

<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />A public hearing on the resolution was held at this time. City Controller James A. Bickel said
<br />that for the past several years the City has paid single coverage insurance for all City em-
<br />ployees. The City was notified that effective June 1, 1971 the premium was increased. After a
<br />meeting with insurance company officials, this date was changed to August 1, 1971; by then
<br />there would be sufficient surplus in the account to provide the $2.50 per month per head for
<br />the increased premium. This increase has already been projected in the 1972 budget. Councilman
<br />Reinke moved for adoption of the resolution, seconded by Councilman Craven. The resolution
<br />passed by a roll call vote of 6 ayes, 0 nays, 3 absent (Councilmen Wise, Palmer and Zielinski).
