TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1988 <br /> <br />paid by Mrs. Hodges for the following years, resulting from erroneous <br />assessments levied, with the understanding that a credit of $50.92 will be <br />issued by the Commissioner of the Revenue for 1987-88 (to adjust for the <br />erroneous assessment levied for 1987-88): <br /> <br />TAX YEAR(S) AMOUNT(S) <br />1984-85 . . . $ 42.56 <br />1985-86 . . . 45.60 <br />1986-87 . . . 45.60 <br /> <br />Total Refund: <br /> <br />$ 133.76 <br /> <br />Responding to Councilman Cole's February 23rd request for information <br />regarding major cost-and-revenue items which could seriously impact upon not <br />only the City's forthcoming 1988-89 City Budget but also upon succeeding <br />budgets, City Manager Brown (in his written report thereon) referred <br />specifically to the following major needs: <br /> <br />School Funding -- even with a reported adjustment and increase <br />of $160,000.00 in State funding for 1988-89 (over that <br />initially allocated, and approximately $54,000.00 for <br />1989-90), the 1988-89 budget just adopted by the City School <br />Board will require $380,000.00 more in local funding over that <br />for 1987-88. <br /> <br />City Jail & City Prison Farm -- to comply with State require- <br />ments, it is estimated that $202,000.00 will be required to <br />upgrade the City's Prison Farm and $37,700.00 to upgrade the <br />City Jail, half of which two sums for a total of $119,850.00 <br />will be required~from the City; however, through the joint <br />efforts of State Senator Virgil Goode and Delegate Roscoe <br />Reynolds, legislation enacted by the 1988 General Assembly <br />(except for the abatement of unsafe or hazardous conditions) <br />will not require .the upgrading of these facilities beyond the <br />applicable construction codes in effect when these buildings <br />were constructed. <br /> <br />Color Removal from Sewage Treatment Effluent -- color removal <br />system installation (i.e., excluding operating costs) is now <br />estimated to cost between $4,000,000.00 and $6,000,000.00, <br />with possibility that local industries contributing to the <br />color problem may be required to share in both the capital <br />cost and the operating costs.
