plained it was necessary to
raise the salary grades
during the recruitment
process for the position of

der to get qualified candi-
dates.
Water Pollution Control
Plant: Voetberg ques-
tioned the increase in sal-
ary expense for the Water

employees in these posi-
tions were relatively new to
the positions and were still
going through the normal
five step wage scale.
Public Works Depart-
ment: Resnick questioned
whether the difference in
cost between the pro-
posed hybrid power solid
waste collection vehicle
($190,000) and a non -
hybrid (approximately
$130,000) was money
worth spending. Vogt ex-
plained that he felt the

cant in fuel cost and envi-
ronmental issues. Jones

Mayor Buol read the cat
and stated this is a special

discussing various City de-
partmental budgets.
Council Member Resnick
questioned whether there
was still consensus to hold
the funding requests of St.
Mark's Community Center
and the Maria House, and
the CIP regarding pet
parks for separate discus-
sion. After discussion by
Council, consensus was
reached on holding the pet
parks for discussion at the

munity Center or Maria

The budgets for the fol-
lowing departments were
discussed: Airport Depart-
ment, Water Department,

Plant, Public Works De-
partment, and Engineering
Department.

was consensus to fund Im-
provement Package #1 of
9 with carryover funds
from Fiscal Year 2008 and
to hold this item for sepa-
rate discussion at the pub-
lic hearing. Consensus
was reached. Voetberg
asked if by funding Im-
provement Package #6 of

tion in staff. It was ex-
plained that staff hours
• saved by this package
would be used in other
areas and no positions or
hours eliminated.

Voetberg questioned the
increase in salary expense
