UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 3 Discussion of 1971-72 Budget Staff reviewed the proposed budget for 1971-72 noting an approximate $34,000.00 deficit. This was primarily attributed to the estimated $15,000 legal expenses to ( uphold the Zoning ordinance in the suit filed by the Confederation de la Raza, `, and an additional $20,000 to cover the increased cost for the sheriff's contract. The total projected 71-72 general fund expenditures was $271,017 compared to the estimated and unaudited 70-71 expenditures of $235,948. Council discussion noted there actually was a substantial decrease in salary expense over the previous years' budget due to the personnel turnover and replacements hired at the lower starting scale. Also basic operating expenses had been only slightly increased to reflect the inflationary trend. Council concluded that current minimal services provided allowed very little latitude to "blue pencil" any of the budgeted items and result in any significant reduction in the budgeted expenditures. It was noted that the Planning Commission budget of $10,500 ($4200 of which was for the Town Planners retainer) allowed only $6300 for completion of the elements of the general plan required by law and the anticipated professional studies to support 71-72 planning efforts for review of the zoning ordinance, master path plan, etc. Council requested that Staff schedule discussion of the budget for planning on the next Planning Commission agenda to provide the Commission''s input to the Council. Council concurred that further discussion of the 71-72 budgetbe deferred to the June 21, 1971 meeting.
