MONDAY. APRIL 14, 1997 <br />questions from the members of Council. In response to a question from <br />Council Member Dallas, Mr. Towarnicki stated no major equipment <br />purchases were included in the budget. Council Member Dallas stated he <br />opposed City employees' use of City vehicles for commuting to and from <br />work. Mr. Towarnicki stated the budget contained $10,000 for a traffic <br />study of the area of Brookdale Road, Sprucedale and Spruce Streets. In <br />discussing the .5 FTE increase for the Central Garage, Council Member <br />Haskell reiterated her desire to see no net growth in City or School <br />employment for the next fiscal year. In response to a question from <br />Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Towarnicki stated that fuel tank replacement at the <br />Central Garage (at a cost of $45,000) was not included in the budget. <br />Mr. Towarnicki noted that the four divisions comprising the General <br />Fund street maintenance activities had been consolidated into one <br />division entitled "Infrastructure Maintenance" for the FY 97-98 budget. <br />In discussing 8210,000 slated for neighborhood improvements, Mr. <br />Reynolds explained that $100,000 would fund curb and gutter projects, <br />$50,000 would fund street paving projects, and the remainder would fund <br />storm drainage improvement projects. Finally, it was noted that <br />decreases in the Park Maintenance budget could be attributed primarily <br />to moving certain park maintenance budgeted items which fund Hooker <br />Field maintenance to the Hooker Field fund. <br /> <br />125. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams then declared the meeting adjourned. <br /> <br />~J~~ of Council <br />La/nc~eG.
