Moved by Getty, seconded by Hurley that the Minutes of December 8, 2003, as proposed, be
approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Funding for Line Item 1572 (Repair Parts) in the Central Garage Budget for the remainder of
Fiscal Year 2004 was reviewed. Councilperson Hurley reported that prior to the $1.2 million
reduction in revenues from the State of Iowa, Central Garage had $56,000.00 budgeted for repair
parts for FY 2004. As part of the reduction, Central Garage had to reduce its budget by
$34,000.00, and the Superintendent of Central Garage elected to reduce the repair parts line item
rather than laying off a person. By purchasing parts through Parts Plus, approximately$6,500.00
in savings has been realized. There is currently $1,000.00 in the repair parts line item with six
months remaining in the budget year, and Central Garage needs approximately $21,000.00 to
$22,000.00 for the remainder of the fiscal year. Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer,
reported that she does not have a fund balance for FY03 Budget yet. To date for FY04, expenses
are exceeding revenue by about $300,000.00. Ms. Weidner stated it is possible the FY 03
Budget could have additional fund balance that could be used, and she suggested that this item
be tabled for one to two weeks. Moved by Hurley, seconded by Getty that the request of the
Superintendent of Central Garage for additional funding for Line Item 1572 (Repair Parts) be
tabled until some time in January 2004. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Getty, seconded by Hurley that the request to amend the travel request for an
additional amount of$40.00 for Police Officers to attend Methamphetamine Conference in Long
Beach, California on November 2-6, 2003 be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Getty, seconded by Hurley that a travel request for Cultural & Arts Director and
Curator to pickup art work in Chicago, Illinois at December 22-23, 2003, with costs not to
exceed $490.00, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Hurley, seconded by Getty that the request of the Leisure Services Director for pre-
authorization to expend $2,175.00 to purchase NBA and WNBA replica basketball jersey for the
basketball program be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Hurley, seconded by Getty that the request of the Leisure Services Director for pre-
authorization to expend not to exceed $3,000.00 for lumber and supplies for window
replacement project at Gates Park be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Hurley, seconded by Getty that the request of the Leisure Services Director for pre-
authorization to expend $2,303.50 to purchase a welder from Superior Welding be approved.
Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Hurley, seconded by Getty that the request of the Leisure Services Director for pre-
authorization to expend $4,000.00 to repair block building at 1101 Campbell Avenue be
approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Getty, seconded by Hurley that the request of the Director of Human Rights
Commission for pre-authorization to expend $2,209.26 for CVDAT luncheons, conference and
meetings be approved. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, reported that CVDAT has a balance of$7,556.24 as
of June 30, 2003 that could be used for this expenditure, but that the Director has not submitted
an amendment for those funds. Moved by Hurley, seconded by Getty that this item be tabled
until a line item amendment is submitted. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
