Ms. Keane continued Staff is recommending the Council make a number of modifications to the City's Fiscal Year 1987-88 Budget to allow for the efficient continuation of current service levels. The overall impact of these modifications is a $1.4 million dollar reduction to the Budget, which represents a 4% decrease. Ms. Keane stated Staff is further recom- mending an increase of $151,000 to the General Fund, the majority of which will support salary increases implemented in accordance with ap- proved Memorandums of Understanding. Ms. Keane then reviewed recommen- dations concerning personnel, one part-time and two full time employees, four replacement Police Patrol cars, decreases in the Enterprise Funds, and reductions to Capital Improvement Budgets. Ms. Keane concluded if the City Council wishes to pursue these recom- mendations, the required action would be for approval of the eight (8) items as listed at the end of the report, which include adoption of Resolution Nos. R-22-88 and R-23-88. Councilman Rios stated he was not happy with the item concerning the addition of a computer specialist/programmer analyst, as he understands the City currently has a computer programmer on board that does this type of work and is supposed to train the employees on their respective computer terminals. Mr. Rios felt this was an unnecessary expenditure. Councilwoman Garcia expressed her agreement with Councilman. Rios, stat- ing she also understood that the individual, presently under contract with the City, had stated previously part of his contract would be the training of employees as necessary. Discussion then followed between Council and Staff with regard to the City's present computer programs, the contract with David Roupe for services, on-going programs, the need for expansion and training pro- grams, etc. Councilman Rios stated he would be in favor of approving the Mid -Year Budget and Resolution Nos. R-22-88 and R-23-88, however, he would like to delete that portion pertaining to the computer specialist. Mr. Rios stated he would also like to have Mr. Roupe present at the next regular Council Meeting for a presentation to the City Council. After additional discussion, moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Council- man Rehrer, to approve the Mid -Year Budget, deleting the portion per- taining to the addition of Computer Specialist -Programmer Analyst, Item No. 4, and adopting Resolution Nos. R-22-88 and R-23-88. Unanimous vote. RESOLUTION NO. R-22-88 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. R-84-87 AUTHORIZING REGULAR AND SPECIAL POSITIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE BASIC SALARY RESOLUTION AND ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1987-88. Im
