Davidson: I do not own the newspaper, I am not the editor of the <br />paper. If a reporter asks me a question that I feel is not <br />confidential data, I think the public has a right to know. So I <br />tell them what my view is, it's only my view. If they choose to <br />print it, it's their newspaper. During the last election four of <br />us ran with great criticism of the Council that was in power that <br />Councilman Sackett was part of and with great criticism of how <br />the city was being run. That is what got us elected. I am <br />willing to work with all of Council to bring a change about. <br />Sackett: I think your concerns about the budget are valid. What <br />I felt was wrong in the paper is your comments about city staff <br />and that hurt the staff. <br />Mayor Fauson felt that Council should continue with the budget <br />session at this time. <br />ITEM C: RESPONSE ON QUESTIONS ASKED AT BUDGET WORK SESSION OF <br />NOVEMBER 12, 1990: QUICK QUESTION, QUICK ANSWERS <br />Brand: Some questions that arose at the work session need to be <br />answered. <br />1. Do you want to consider adding the 5.5~ allowable property tax <br />($4.00 a year or a house assessed at $100,000)? <br />Mayor Fauson moved not approve the 5.5$ property tax, seconded by <br />Szymanski. All in favor. <br />2.Is $1,500 adequate to fund computer for Community Development? <br />Yes it is. It will be purchased at state bid. <br />3. Do we want to fund $5,000 water meter installation? <br />Could be answered later in the session. <br />4. Do we want to fund the traffic counters at $2,500? The <br />question was if staff time is used to do it manually would this <br />off set the cost of the traffic counters. <br />5. Options on Austin House Lease. <br />Asti-Caranci: I have prepared the Five-Year Capital Improvement <br />Program over again showing the Austin House Lease, the Steinbaugh <br />Lease and the Kraft Lease all being paid off in 1991 and that <br />affected the fund balance in the Five-Year Program. <br />Davidson: Suggested that the Finance Committee look at the leases <br />and come back to Council with their recommendation. <br />Carnival: By approving this during the budget process, will this <br />allow you to re-look at the Combined Capital to see where maybe <br />you can change some things around and allow the department heads <br />5 <br />
