<br />Council members present were Hayes, Cisneros, Rehrer, Gonzales, and Mayor Beltran. Also present were City Manager
<br />Huffaker, City Attorney Edwards, and City Clerk Ramos.
<br />BUDGET:
<br />Mayor Beltran outlined the method for review, stating that the original intent up to this point, was to go through
<br />each budget and become acquainted as to the individual requests; now that we know what is contained in these budgets
<br />we can take final action. Mayor Beltran said this final review is for the purpose of taking a look at those items
<br />that the Council had questions on.
<br />BUDGET:
<br />Fi re
<br />Mr. Huffaker reported that $4,000 was tentatively added to Account 16, Education and Training, this was for two
<br />additional firemen to be trained as paramedics.
<br />Councilman Hayes informed the Council that the money being requested to train the two additional men for paramedics,
<br />as well as that already included in the budget, is for training only and does not include salaries. Councilman
<br />Hayes said salaries need not be budgeted until the next fiscal year because the training of these firemen will not
<br />be completed until the end of the current fiscal year, or June 1977.
<br />Councilman Hayes stated that if CETA is not funded through the training period for the paramedics, then he would
<br />say the additional firemen could not be trained because that would leave the department shorthanded while these
<br />firemen are away in school.
<br />Discussion followed on funding for the purchase of a Pumper Fire Truck in the amount of $80,000.
<br />City Manager Huffaker reported the Pumper Fire Truck is listed in the Restricted Fund Budget and it is planned to
<br />transfer $80,000 into the Restricted Fund from Revenue Sharing.
<br />Fire Chief Temby reported that the truck being replaced by the pumper is 27 years old, has a cracked block. Chief
<br />Temby said the other engine in reserve is 19 years old and this year it failed its underwriters test.
<br />Discussion followed on the feasibility of keeping the fire engines operational.
<br />Mayor Beltran asked how the cracked block came about.
<br />Chief Temby said it was due to metal fatigue in conjunction with the age of the vehicle.
<br />Councilman Hayes stated that where the problem lies in regard to the need for a new pumper is in structure fires.
<br />Councilman Hayes stated if there are two structure fires at one time, the department would be in trouble.
<br />Discussion followed on the delivery schedule if the City were to authorize purchase of the pumper truck.
<br />Moved by Councilman Gonzales, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve the addition of $4,000 to the Education
<br />and Training Account 16, for the training of two additional paramedics. Unanimous vote.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve the $80,000 for a new pumper truck. Motion
<br />carried. Mayor Beltran and Councilman Gonzales voting NO.
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to delete $150 in Account 90, Capital Outlay, for the
<br />purchase of a table stand. Unanimous vote.
<br />Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Rehrer to approve the Fire Budget as amended. Motion
<br />carried. Mayor Beltran and Councilman Gonzales voting NO.
<br />The adopted budget for the Fire Department represents an increase of $3,850 additional funding from that proposed.
<br />Civil Defense
<br />Discussion followed on the Salary Accounts of the Fire Budget. Councilman Rehrer asked for clarification of the
<br />01 Account, as it reflects a $70,000 increase.
<br />Mrs. Andengaard explained that last year the additional salaries paid under the paramedic and educational training
<br />were listed separate from the permanent salaries so there is a figure of $58,900 shown in Account 09 for the
<br />197576 fiscal year and a $0 in fiscal year 1976-77. Mrs. Andengaard explained that if Council will look at the
<br />Total Salaries and Wages line, it will note that the 1975-76 is $570,305 and the 1976-77 recommended is $587,450,
<br />which is an approximate $10,000 increase due to merit increases, a little more in overtime, etc.
<br />Discussion followed on the Memorandum of Understanding relating to Educational Incentive Program.
<br />After brief review of the Civil Defense Budget, moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to
<br />JUN 16 1976
