Public Comment:

There was no one present to speak for public participation.

Mayor Goodman asked if anyone had any comment regarding the budget.

Referring to an email she sent the council, City Administrator Kavelman explained that she wanted to add an additional line to her budget to help differentiate the printing she does for herself and for special projects.  

Alderman Bateman and Alderman Parrott were unsure how this would help.

Treasurer Conzo suggested that he create an additional line in the City Administrator’s Sub Fund so it would indicate to the council, or whomever is asking, who is doing the printing.

Alderman Hoinacki wanted to verify with Administrator Kavelman, that she wasn’t asking for any more money, just that she wanted to split the $1500 that she currently has in her office supply line.  She agreed.  Administrator Kavelman just wants to assure the Council that she is being straightforward with the printing she is doing.  

Treasurer Conzo said it would be simple to add an additional line and that when the Council was in the Regular meeting later tonight, to just amend the budget to reflect that.

Adjournment:

Mayor Goodman asked if there was any other comment on the public hearing, there being none, he adjourned the meeting at 7:14 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted By:

Charity Hutchison, Recording Secretary
