Regular City Council Meeting <br />August 25, 2003 <br />Page 5 <br />Mr. Townsend said there is another decrease in lease and rental and it is due <br />to the pay off of a piece of equipment. <br />Mr. Townsend said the $30,000 in the Solid Waste budget for post closure is <br />for work at the landfill requested by TECQ. They have contracted with a <br />company to do this work and they are coming to a closure. <br />Mr. Townsend said in the Street Department, Page 175 is the summary, again <br />they have a small decrease in overtime. There is also a decrease in bridges and <br />culverts of $10,000.00 because there are very few bridges in the City of Paris. <br />Mr. Townsend said there is a$77,500.00 increase in the street overlay project <br />because there were no funds allocated in the 2002/2003 budget. Mr. <br />Townsend explained that most of their overlay money has come out of the <br />Certificates of Obligation funds. This last year they had money in the General <br />Fund to do overlays. Mr. Townsend said they do have funding in the budget <br />for chip sealing and that is budgeted under Street and Alley Repair. <br />City Manager Malone explained that at one time funds were placed in the <br />budget for overlay proj ects, then council started using the bond money for other <br />purposes. The last $500,000.00 that was scheduled for an overlay was <br />switched by City Council to help fund the Sports Complex. <br />Mr. Townsend said the next division for consideration was the Traffic Divison. <br />Mr. Townsend said there were really no changes in excess of $1,000.00 <br />excluding personnel cost. <br />Councilman Plata questioned the cost for electricity supplied to Woodall Field <br />and the soccer fields. Mr. Anderson said he could pull that figure out and <br />bring it back to the Council. <br />Mr. Townsend explained that the categories for utilities and traffic lights in the <br />Traffic Department budget are for street lights on residential streets. <br />
