Mr. Mccown noted there was a debate currently going on in Congress as to whether these funds would be extended for another three years. If the funds are continued, the proposed allocation for these funds in 1981 would be $142,625 to storm drainage programs and $495,000 to the river development project.

Council Member Fitzpatrick. The Mayor declared the motion carried. Assistant City Manager Wanush presented the proposed 1981 budget, timetable for which Council has consideration of October 6, 1980 Page 6 the budget and the changes proposed as a result of the budget retreat. Mr. Wanush noted the formal notice of public hearing was published on September 17, 1980, in the Englewood Sentinel and submitted the publisher's affidavit to the Clerk for the record. Mr. Wanush presented a budget that maintains all the current level of city services without any increases in mill levy even though proposed expenditures were greater than pro- posed revenues. Mr. Wanush stated the maintenance would be possible by the help of the fund balance at the end of 1980. Mr. Wanush then discussed each fund in detail. Mr. Wanush stated the current trend was that some of the expenditures were increasing at a faster rate than re- venues. As a result of this analysis, staff has recommended that Council look into increasing fees relating to various li- censes and other miscellaneous services provided by the City. Also, that the Tax Comnittee or some similar type of group be re-activated to look at this trend and make recommendations to Council to maintain an adequate fund balance. Mayor Otis commended staff for keeping the budget at status quo especially during inflationary times. Mayor Otis asked for comments from the audience. Mr. Maurice Merlin, 3688 South Sherman, appeared before Council. Mr. Merlin stated not enough publicity was given to the hearing and not enough time was given to the citizens to study the budget and decide what they wanted to talk about. Mr. Merlin discussed the fund "Aid to Other Agencies". He suggested establishing a mi ni-agency and have the City supply the citizens with an information card which they could put their contribution in, send it back to the City and let the mini-agency decide which agencies were being useful to the City and worthy of a contribution. Mr. Merlin discussed the proposed purchase of a new computer in 1981. He queried whether or not this was the year to make such a large expenditure. He suggested that Council wait and see if Congress renewed revenue sharing funds; and if approved, then make the purchase. Mr. Merlin asked if a study had been made to determine how many hours the computer would be used. October 6, 1980 Page 7 Mr. Mccown stated a project use study was conducted by an in-house user co11111ittee who was assisted by an outside consultant. Mr. Mccown aaked Director of Finance Higbee to reply on the computer'• estimated time use. Director of Finance Higbee stated by the time police and fire activities are being done which will be 3 -4 years in the future, the computer will be active seven days a week, 24 hours a day. In response to Mr. Merlin's other question, Mr. Mccown stated personal services in the budget was the cash fringe bene- fits for City employees and the sums vary according to salary and whether or not the employees were classified emergency or non- emergency. Mr. Merlin had no further questions. Maurice Jones, 5020 South Washington, appeared before Council. Mr. Jones aaked Council Member Higday for the correct time and place for the next Mayor's coffee which Mr. Higday was hosting and what was going to be on the agenda. Mr. Higday stated the correct time was October 18th at Duncan School. Clarkson Street was the major topic. Mr. Jones stated he thought there was a shortage of animal control people and related an incident which he experi- enced this summer with the animal control and police depart- ment. Mr. Jones questioned appropriating 3/4 of the Director of Utilities time to Sewer Administration rather than Water Ad- ministration. Mr. Mccown stated it was estimated that 3/4 of the Di- rector's time is devoted to sewer administration because of the number of sewer districts. Council Member Higday directed staff to analyze what it would do to the budget if the animal warden division was in- creased.
