Council approved upon motion duly seconded, with all members voting: Vote 4-1; Yeas (4)- Crabtree, Teague, Haskell, and Roop; Nays (1)- Dallas; Absent (0), to add $11,015 to the Library's budget. Council heard a report by City Manager Reynolds regarding the budget requests by Social Services. In late May, City Staff was asked to meet with Joyce Martin, Director of Social Services, regarding opera- tional budget concems. There were two such issues. 1) Cooling tower - There has been an inspection of a cooling tower at Social Services. The inspection report revealed that the tower was in need of painting and some minor maintenance issues. Council was not specifically asked to provide funds for the project, and the agency will seek a second opinion on the integrity of the cooling tower. 2) There is approximately $64,000 remaining in Social Service's unexpended funds.
