The personal services expenditure category increased by $6,850 in 2000. This increase is due to additional hours for the part time cable TV programmer and the hiring of a back-up assistant for this position. The city is going to narrowcasting in 2000 and more time will be required for putting together public information videos. The supplies category is projected to increase by $4,900 in 2000. This increase is due to the narrowcasting of our cable TV system and the supplies needed in order to put on additional, higher quality videos. The supplies include cable TV lights, microphones, tapes, music, etc. The other new expenditure in the supplies category is for City of Elk River pins. About $2,000 is planned to be spent on pins in 2000. The other services and charges category is projected to decrease by $12,250. However, in 1999, this category included $19,000 for the city code recodification project and this expenditure is not in the 2000 budget. Accordingly, when making an adjustment for this recodification project, this budget category is going up by $6,750. This increase is spread throughout the budget including the dues, publications, and professional services line items. 8 " '< . . .
