TUESDAY, APRH, 27, 1999 <br /> <br />Mayor Crabtree noted that the system must be able to compete successfully for tuition students, as the City <br /> <br />must compete in a environment of choice. Thus, he stated, the City must spend beyond minimum levels to <br />attract tuition students. Vice-Mayor Teague and Council Member Roop then commented about the need to <br />also set aside funds in the budget for recurring expenses, such as the Summer School program. Dr. <br />Trollinger then closed his presentation by stating that after careful review and reductions the proposed <br />budget was an increase of $369,845 in local funds over the previous year, not counting additional pay <br />increases. He then stated that the cost to provide State mandated salary increases for personnel would <br />require an additional $140,000 from local funds, in addition to the State's contribution of $319,299. School <br />Board Chairman Charles Davies stated that the School Board was in support of the full salary increase for <br />teachers put forth by the State, and City Finance Director Wade Bartlett stated that the $140,000 in additional <br />funds to this were already in the budget as presented. <br /> <br />Council then recessed their meeting until 7:00 p.m., the scheduled time for their regular bi-monthly meeting. <br /> <br />Dewey p~~ewey P. w;ll, Jr., <br />Assistant City Manager <br />and Clerk of Council <br /> <br />Mark A.
