Meeting was called to order at 5.10 p.m. by Mayor Cotant.
PURPOSE OF MEETING is to conduct a public hearing to discuss
proposed utility rates.
PWD Smart suggested the $15,00u.00 sanitation budget
reduction come from moving Jim Phelps's ordinance enforcement
salary of $17,000.00 from sanitation budget to Police
Department Budget in the General Fund.
PWD Smart presented Snake River Sanitation's proposal to pick
up sanitation in the City of chubbuok. After review, it looks
like the Snake River Sanitation's proposal is higher than what
the City can pick up.
PWD Smart suggested consideration be given to moving some
Enterprise Salaries to General Fund Departments based on where

1992-93 Waterworks Budget will be met without an 3ncrease.

the Police Department Budget, it will be important t~at he be
a full time patrolman again, this would probably satisfy
residents concern.
Mayor Cotant directed Chief Rowland to wait on hiring a new
officer.
