<br />Mr. Rebollo said the total City Budget request is $24,000 towards a total Chamber Budget of $43,231.
<br />In response to Councilman Gonzales' question regarding what project could be deleted, Mr. Rebollo said it would be
<br />better to delete the finishing of the improvements in the Chamber Building rather than to cut in the overall program.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Mayor Beltran, to delete the Chamber of Commerce for the 1977-78 Budget.
<br />Motion did not carry on roll call vote: AYES: Rehrer, Beltran. NOES: Hayes, Cisneros, Gonzales.

<br />Budget. Motion carried. Councilman Rehrer voting NO.
<br />COMMUNITY SERVICES
<br />Parks Maintenance
<br />Mr. Earl Young, Community Services Director, reported the funds in this budget are to maintain the various parks
<br />within the City and the increase in the budget reflects the rising costs in maintenance materials and additional
<br />depreciation reserves. Mr. Young stated included in the Capital Outlay is the purchase of a Turf Truckster, 1/2
<br />Ton Pickup, 2 Mowers, 2 Edgers, :Sprinkler Control, Turf Vacuum Hose, and Markers and Drags, totalling $7,940.
<br />Discussion followed on the total city-wide vehicular rolling stock, number and use of manpower prior to and after
<br />reorganization of the Community :Services Department, cost of repairing 1/2 top pickup vs. purchase of new one,
<br />and maintenance of parkways, median strips, and civic center.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer to delete $2,300 from the Capital Outlay Account for the purchase of a 1/2 ton pickup
<br />and transfer $650.00 from Capital Outlay to Vehicle Maintenance for repair of the 1963 1/2 ton pickup.
<br />City Manager Calabrese stated he would like the opportunity to review not only the reorganization of the Community
<br />Services Department, but also the motor vehicle replacement program, including the use of the Chipper as a trade-in
<br />item under the Street Trees & Parkways Budget.
<br />Councilman Rehrer withdrew his motion to await a report from the City Manager.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Gonzales, to tentatively approve the Parks Maintenance Budget.
<br />Unanimous vote.
<br />RarrPatinn
<br />Recreation Director Lofy, reported that in his initial budget request he had submitted the addition of one position -
<br />Recreation Supervisor and that this position had been deleted by the former City Manager.
<br />Mr. Lofy explained that in the formulation of the proposed new position, he had reduced the hours of various temporary
<br />salaries and assigned those hours to the new position and that when the proposed position was deleted, he had discussed
<br />the replacement of the hours cut from the temporary salaries.
<br />Mr. Lofy went on to say that adjustment to temporary salaries account is needed as it is not reflected in the budget
<br />before the Council tonight.
<br />City Manager Calabrese asked if Mr. Lofy was requesting an increase to the budget.
<br />Mr. Lofy replied that this was correct.
<br />City Manager Calabrese requested that department head get together with the City Manager to discuss the additions.
<br />Mr. Calabrese said once he has an opportunity to review the changes, the budget will be resubmitted for Council
<br />consideration.
<br />Discussion followed on whether Mr. Lofy should continue with his presentation or whether the budget should be deferred
<br />pending review by the City Manager.
<br />City Manager Calabrese stated for the record that he had not had an opportunity to review the Recreation Budget as
<br />presented tonight and if the Council wished to review it and act on it, that was fine.
<br />Mayor Beltran recommended that if there was no objection from the Council members, he would honor the request of the
<br />City Manager for an opportunity to fully review the Recreation Budget and to consider the budget at a later date.
<br />Councilman Hayes stated he would like to know where the breakdown in communications occurred.
<br />Mayor Beltran stated the City Manager could look into this and take appropriate action.
<br />Mayor Beltran ordered the review of the Recreation Budget by the Recreation Director and City Manager and that it be
<br />brought to the City Council at a later date.
<br />Refuse
<br />The Refuse Budget was deferred to a later date.
