rr CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - May 22, 1979 A discussion ensued then between Council members and Mr. Minckley reqarding possible costs of replacing the Council Chambers, whether the proposed Chambers would be within the required setback lines, and where the additional money would come from to cover this additional cost. Mr. Lawson explained that Council had determined that present Federal Revenue Sharing monies received by the Town had been earmarked to cover this cost. Councilman McReynolds then called for the question, and Resolution #733 awarding the bid for the remodeling of Town Hall to Gearhart and Spivey passed by the following roll call vote: AYE: Councilmen Helgesson, McReynolds, Councilwoman Miller, Mayor Grabowski NO: Councilman Cheney Mayor Grabowski addressed himself to the City Manager, stating that in view of the fact that Council had voted to expend a sum of money close to $60,000, and many citizens would be disappointed who expected to have their roads repaired, he hoped something would appear in the Budget that would satisfy the demands of the citizens in this regard. He thought Staff should expeditiously proceed with road repairs, and that the City Manager's administration would be viewed in a bad light if he did not address this matter promptly. Councilman Cheney commented that in view of the fact that all of the funds set aside for remodelinq purposes would not be used, it might be in order for Council to consider reimbursing Mr. Minckley for some of his time and efforts. He moved that Council and Staff work up a contract to that end. He felt that Mr. Minckley, on that basis, might consider over- seeinq the project to its completion. Councilman Helgesson seconded this motion, and it was unanimously agreed to by Council. 5. Budqet Review w/ Ad Hoc Budget Review Committee: Before discussion beqan, Mayor Grabowski asked Chairman Fred Brutschy if his Committee would be willing to undertake an examination of the reports received from citizens regarding assessed valuations and report back to Council with their findings. Mr. Brutschy responded that the charges already before the Committee at the present time was very time consuming, but he would check with the members of his Committee. Re ort b Ad Hoc romnittee: Mr. Brutschy summarized the written report from t e Budnet Commttee or the Council. The Committee felt the budget document was overly complex and must be simplified - that the present 'W format was unacceptable. -4-
