Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the City Council of the City of Centerville held a Supplemental Public Hearing for the 1992 Budget on Tuesday, December 3, 1991 at the City Hall. Acting Mayor Burgstahler called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Present: Daria, Pelton, Wilharber. Absent: Buckbee. Warren Tester, Director of Business Affairs, of the Centennial School District was present to address changes in the ta~ format for the School District from 1991 to 1992. Mr. Tester expressed disappointment in the truth and taxation form mailed to residents as it does not take into account increases in market value or student enrollment. The City Council inquired of Mr. Tester as to why the School District taxes did not go down to the extent forecasted. Mr. Tester did not appear to be able to pin point the exact the reason but suggested an error in forecasting. Acting Mayor Burgstahler asked Mr. Tester to provide expenditures forecasts for 1989 and 1991. The City Council noted that the 1992 City Budget did not provide for Consolidation investigations a line item. The City Council appeared to be in agreement that the line items in the budget may have to be re-considered should the Consolidation costs be significant. It was also noted that the Consolidation investigation costs may be more significant in 1993. The City Council requests that the Park and Recreation Committee submit a letter of detail for the 1992 Budget. If such a line item budget were not represented in a timely manner to the City Council the City Council will assume that. portions of the Park and Recreation monies allocated are not necessary for the operation of the City parks and may consider re-allocation of those funds to other areas in need of financing. It was noted that due to the "mega storm" the snow plowing expenses may be greater than anticipated for 1991. The City Council discussed the possibility of a full time public works employee. It appeared to be the opinion that it is not necessary a decision of whether a full time person is needed, but rather a decision as to when. The City Council appeared to be in consensus to direct the Clerk/Administrator to investigate the costs of a full time employee. The City Council also appeared to direct the Clerk/Administrator to upgrade the current Public Works Director position job description. Motion by Pelton, second by Dario to certify a 1992 levy to Anoka County in the amount of $338,500.00 for the City of Centerville, motion carried unanimously.
