<br />It was suggested that the Cemetery Assistant be returned to Finance as an Account Clerk II and that a Secretary to
<br />the Superintendent be assigned to the Cemetery at a cost savings all the way around.
<br />Councilwoman Spragins asked that the Council wrap up this session as no consensus on this budget appears near.
<br />Mayor Huntoon asked what would be wrong if everyone took a 107. salary cut and 40 people were hired with this money.
<br />Councilman Gonzales said it was a good point provided Colton people were hired.
<br />Councilwoman Spragins said the 10% should include the Council members.
<br />Mayor Huntoon agreed with both Council members.'and added the City could have all of his Mayor's salary.
<br />ADJOURNMENT:
<br />The time being 10:00 P.M., on motion of Councilwoman Spragins, seconded by Councilman Gonzales, the Mayor adjourned

<br />RESOLUTION NO. 3524 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON EXPRESSING INTENT TO MAKE EMPLOYEE
<br />BENEFITS EFFECTIVE JULY 19 1975.
<br />Community Services Budget.
<br />City Manager Huffaker stated at the last budget session, Council discussed the Community Services Budget, termina-
<br />ting on Page 96.
<br />Councilwoman Spragins requested an explanation of the Vehicle Operating Expense, as listed on Page 42 and 43 of the
<br />Budget, and the amount of $500 delegated to operate two pool cars, and an extra car in the Fire Department.
<br />Mr. Huffaker explained there will be two cars available which will be transferred from the General Services budget,
<br />one for Community Services and one for the Fire Department.
<br />Councilwoman Spragins then questioned the amount of $1,800 in the Community Services Budget for Car Allowance, and
<br />stated she felt this would not be needed if there was going to be a car available for the department. Mrs. Spragins
<br />said this would then create a savings of $1,800.
<br />Council discussion followed regarding the amount of City cars available for the departments' use and the feasibility
<br />of the car pools. Council members felt if there were cars available to be used for City business, there would be no
<br />need for car allowances, thereby establishing quite a savings.
<br />Moved by Councilman Gonzales, seconded by Councilman Hayes, Council assigned an automobile to the Community Services
<br />Department, and deleted the Car Allowance in the amount of $1,800 from the Community Services Budget. Vote was
<br />unanimous.
<br />Mayor Huntoon said his concern was will this be enough cars available for Staff. Mr. Huntoon said does Staff know
<br />what they need, or don't they know what they need.
<br />Councilman Rehrer questioned items on Page 96 under Capital Outlay of the Community Services -Parks Maintenance
<br />Budget.
<br />Councilman Gonzales stated that with regard to the Community Services Department, he is still opposed to the reorgani-
<br />zation of that department that took place last year.
<br />Mr. Gonzales reiterated his reasons for the elimination of three positions in that department, which include the
<br />Administrative Assistant the Parks and Cemetery Superintendent, and the Secretary II position that was recently
<br />filled for the Data Processing Division of the Finance Department. Mr. Gonzales felt the person that is now
<br />assigned to the Cemetery Division could also be utilized in the Finance Department as needed.
<br />Mr. Gonzales stated he feels the Parks and Cemetery Superintendent is a duplication of personnel and is not needed.
<br />Mr. Gonzales referred back to the reorganizational chart that had been submitted for the Public Works Department,
<br />stating the operating costs for that department have gone way over what was originally intended and submitted.
<br />Mr. Gonzales sited examples such as the salaries for the Community Services Director, the Administrative Assistant,
<br />and Professional Services (contracting engineer), which he felt was extravagant and exceeded the City's needs.
