1953-59 BUDGET
The City Council commenced study of the
budget document, starting with that of City
Attorney and reviewing the accounts in
consecutive order.
The City Attorney stated that he had received
two bids for codification of the ordinances,
one from California Code Service (Allen Grimes)
for $490: and the other fron Michie City
Publications Company for $3750. He advocated
codification by the Michie City ?ublications
Company. He stated that it would require
approximately ten mo.-ths to do the work, that
the price quoted would include 50 copies of
the Code, and that the Company would keep
the Code up to date on an annual basis of
$8.00 f.)r each original page, furnishing 50
copies of each. The City Attorney and City
Manager felt than codification of the ordin-
ances would be of considerable -aid in giving
better service to the public. The council
unanimously apy:roved 'having the ordinances
codified by the Michie City Publications Com-
pany and requested that 0750 be placed in
the City Clerk's budget for that purpose.
In reviewing the City Clerk's budget it was
noted that the Chamber of Commerce's request
for City participation in costs of Christmas
decorations was not included. The City
Manager said it was not included because he
felt such an item was a *utter of policy and
therefore should be decided by the Council.
Mr. Jack Hog7att, Manager of the Chamber of
Com^erce, beim- present in the audience,
stated that the decorations for this year
were expected to cost :4,576 and that the
City had been requested :;o pay not to exceed 'one-half o--:'
this anount; however,. the burden of the
811: Minutes of June 18, 1958 continued
program was on the business people and it was
up to them to raise their share before the
City would make its contribution. Members of
the Council felt that the City should partici-
pate in such a program and on notion of
Councilman Brown, Robinson_ second, authorized
payment of one-third of the costs up to a
maximum of 01500, for downtown Christmas
decorations,
Councilman Robinson remarked that consideration
should be gi,en to appropriating a definite
amourit as an expense account for the Mayor. It
was sug-ested that this be considered in the
1959-60 budget,
The Finance Department's request for an
additional one-half Account Clerk in order
to have a full time Clerk was approved,
The Police Department budget contained a
request for a part tine man for Pound opera-
tions pending County -wide operation and was
approved, The City Man ger's recommendation
for an additional Meter Officer and six
patrolmen was also approved, (Councilman Robin-
son later stated he wished to defer action
on the Police Department budget until later
and was assured it would be in order until
the ordinance adopting the budget was introduced
The Council deleted X4700 in the Major Streets
Construction account for improvement of Locke -
ford Street between Stadium drive and Cherokee
Lane, being of the opinion that the condition
of the street did not warrant such an expendi-
ture at this time.
After completing discussion of the Garbage
Disoosal Site account, the Council adjourned
to 3 p,m. of June 25, 1958, on motion of
Councilman Mitchell, Robinson second,
