Mrs. Ramos said that in her opinion her situation is no different than that of the Planning Director or the Communi- ty Services Director, as they too are allowed to have a Secretary present at the Commission Meetings. There was no further questions of the City Clerk. CITY MANAGER: Mr. Huffaker pointed out the only significant change in this budget is a request of $1,350 for furnishings in the office area. Councilwoman Spragins stated in her opinion the position of Assistant to the City Manager could be eliminated at a substantial savings to the public. Discussion followed with Council requesting that the City Manager report back to the Council outlining the need for the position of Assistant to the City Manager. PERSONNEL: City Manager Huffaker stated notable items proposed in this budget include $1,600 to allow for quarterly meetings with all management employees; $5,500 for a Management Development Program, and $6,600 for an Employee Relations Program. On Council consensus $13,700 was deleted from Account 35 Professional Services, rejecting quarterly management meetings, Management Development Program and Employees Relations Program. INSURANCE: Mr. Huffaker said funds are included in this budget for the City's automobile, fire, and theft liability and general insurance. Employee group insurance and compensation insurance has been taken out of this budget and distributed to the various appropriate activities throughout all other budgets. Mr. Huffaker said the City has been informed that based on a higher assets valuation the fire insurance due in Account 44 should reflect $5,000 instead of $3,600, bringing the total balance to $5,930.00.

FINANCE ADMINISTRATION: Finance Director McGuire distributed a cash flow report on Investments to the members of the Council. Mr. McGuire explained the Investment Program which was started during the past fiscal year. Mr. McGuire said the program seeks to use types of investments that allow the City greater flexibility with cash available to be invested. Mayor Huntoon said it was his understanding that the short term investments we are now doing are to squeeze more interest out of our investment money. Finance Director McGuire briefly compared Certificates of Deposits versus Re -purchase Agreements, giving the basic pros and cons of each type of investment. Council reviewed Page 12, Finance Comparative Schedule of Appropriation Recommendations, regarding Division appropria- tions. City Manager Huffaker reported some of the significant budgeting areas are in the Data Processing System, monies allocated the Civic Center Account for painting the interior of City Hall, resumption of contractual janitorial service, full funding of four positions that were filled only a portion of this past fiscal year. Councilwoman Spragins stated she found the breakdown of individual division budgets within the Finance Department difficult to follow. Mrs..Spragins said it made it more difficult to figure out a persons salary when a little is charged to each division. Council asked how many total positions are allocated to the Finance Department.
