City Manager Malone said in this <br />instance, he placed it in the budget as part of the proposed budget, and if the <br />City Council does not want the city to purchase 3/4 pickups, they can be <br />removed from the budget. After further discussion, Councilman Carter <br />requested that Chief Louis compare the 3/4 ton pickup versus a% ton pickup <br />and bring the information back to the City Council for review. <br />City Manager Malone said there is a request for $40,000.00 for pound supplies <br />for the animal shelter and as the new building will not be completed for <br />approximately six months, he cut that back to $25,000.00. He said that under <br />photographic supplies there is an increase. <br />City Manager Malone said the next department to be looked at is the Fire <br />Department. City Manager Malone gave the City Council notes showing what <br />all of the personnel requests were. City Manager Malone said that a grant has <br />been received for one year funding for one code enforcement officer with an <br />emphasis being placed on illegal dumping. The city has to provide certain <br />items of equipment for that code officer. He said the city presently has two <br />extra code officers hired as temporaries under the miscellaneous account and <br />will have extra people on duty in the busy season. Reclassifications and other <br />issues will be addressed later on after the wage and salary study. <br />City Manager Malone explained the account entitled Food-Humans is up from <br />the $5,000.00 in the present budget to $7,500.00.
