<br />;L58 <br /> <br />TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1985 <br /> <br />it being reported that the agency's Ridgeway property has been sold and the mortgage <br /> <br />thereon paid off, resulting in the net sum of $8,000.00 being available therefrom <br /> <br />for application, perhaps, against the debt on the agency's present quarters. After <br /> <br />some inquiries by members of Council as to the agency's services and the increased <br /> <br />demand therefore, Council--upon motion, duly seconded--granted said request, the <br /> <br />vote being three-to-one to grant the request, Councilman Oakes voting in the nega- <br /> <br />tive, pursuant to his previously-stated position on local funding vs. State-Federal <br /> <br />funding of service agencies, particularly where the State-Federal financing dimin- <br /> <br />ishes and the burden upon localities increases. <br /> <br />City Manager Brown reported that, in addition to funds already provided in the City's <br /> <br />1985-86 budget for overtime pay for Police Department personnel as well as for per- <br /> <br />sonnel of the City's Electric Department and labor-intensive sections of the Public <br /> <br />Works Department and the Parks-Recreation Department, additional amounts of$16,900.00 <br /> <br />for Fire Department personnel and $10,500.00 for personnel of the City's Prison Farm <br /> <br />Division will be required (to be appropriated, presumably, from General Fund surplus) <br /> <br />to enable the City to comply with the provisions and recent applications of the Fair <br /> <br />Labor Standards Act, retroactive to July 1, 1985.
