Approval of 1977-78 Budget
Commissioner Jensen expressed the view that Page Seven, which had been
up-dated by Mr. Vogel, was in order and acceptable to him. Commissioner
Minton requested clarification of the following items on Page Seven:
1. City Commitment E.D.A. , $64,000. Mr. Vogel reminded Commissioner
Minton that the Commission had approved the commitment in support of
the EDA Project which is being funded by the Federal Government.
2. Typewriter, $750.00. The question was asked if the typewriter was the
same one that had been turned down previously. Mr. Vogel answered
in the affirmative.
3. Validation Machine, $4,000.00. Commissioner Minton asked which account
would be allocated any surplus monies. The City Manager replied this
would be decided by the Commission at the time of purchase as is
normally the practice. He added that action on the Capital Budget
historically has been vested in the Commission, which requires bids on
most items costing in excess of $500.00.
4. Commissioner Minton questioned, for his own edification, if any employe-2s'

salaries had been raised during the past year. Mr. Vogel stated he had
previously failed to mention the anniversary raise accorded to Mr.
Paul Steckla, and pointed out that the advance did not increase the
budget because one employee listed had been paid by PEP.
Commissioner Minton directed a query to Mr. Hilliard concerning the
present tennis courts , i.e. , the state of repair of the courts.
Mr. Hilliard observed that the last quoted price he received was
approximately $10,000 per court. Commissioner Jensen suggested the
matter be discussed at a later time. Commission agreed.
