Fire Department: Fire Chief Holzman explained changes in his expenses. Discussion. Public Works: Commisioner Kulbes suggested that Gil Artman join the Public Works Director's Association. He said that he felt that it would help the Public Works Director to be able to 'compare notes' with other cities. Discussion. It was decided to add $400 to Dues and Registrations for that purpose. Other expenses were discussed. Commissioner Kaehler suggested that for Other Equipment, rather than have four different departments, have it put together and given to the Commission ahead of time.

Commission: The budget is the same as this year. The Summer Dance Program will be put under the Recreation Department. Mayor Grove mentioned her invitation from Disney World to take thirty of 'our' kids to Disney World for Mickey's "60th Birthday Party". It would entail the thirty children, three chaperones, the Mayor, her husband and their two children. She stated that she anticipated the need for a bus and insurance. The City Manager said that we would need an estimation of the cost. City Commission Workshop Meeting, August 1, 1988 Page 2 . Mayor Grove proposed to the Commission that we sponsor an 'appreciation' banquet for our Boards. Discussion on how it will be paid for. Mayor Grove asked the Commission to consider it. Legal Council: The tentative budget is the same for next year as it was this year. Attorney Frank Kruppenbacher stated that the attorney's rates had never changed, and that they would like to go to a $90 an hour rate with $500 for a monthly retainer for the meetings they attend. At present the rate is $50 per hour. Discussion. Attorney Kruppenbacher said that he would meet with the City Manager to finalize it. General Government: Mayor Grove questioned the Election Officials under General Government. She questioned the need for that in the budget as we have an agreement with the County. The City Manager said that he would wait until the City Clerk is back from vacation, as she handles the elections. Commissioner Kaehler asked where a proper place would be to put a storm water management fund. The City Manager said that he was working on it with the City Engineer. He said that they are going to propose a storm water utility which will operate like a utility. Right now, he said, Public Works is responsible for that. He suggested putting $10,000 into the budget to keep for storm water management reserve in the meantime. The City Manager stated that he wants to add $4,000 to the LGCPA Grant II, and 'do' one program on it. . Bond Issues - Discussion. Additional Personnel: The City Manager discussed. Capital Equipment and Capital Improvement: Discussion. Water and Sewer: Discussion. Description of expenditures: Explained. The City Manager said that a Workshop would have to be scheduled to discuss personnel and salaries, and to add the water emergency and drainage. The money for the water will be taken from the Contingency Fund in the meantime. Attorney Kruppenbacher said that there are a multiple amount of changes in the current code that relate to updates in line with changes in the laws of the State of Florida and Federal laws where they may apply. He stated that they will probably be bringing back one Ordinance to deal with it, and rather than have a Workshop on it when it is put on the agenda, he stated that he would just 'go through' them with the Commission. The Attorney also said that there was a question at the last Commission Meeting concerning the tandscapeCOde. He said that in the site plan review, they can require procedures to assure ongoing maintenance without looking at individual sites. At the next Commission Meeting, he said, if the Commission has particular projects, they can just give him a list of them, and he can go back and check it. .
