. included within the City Council Contingency Fund. Some September personnel decisions may reduce the proposed 1995 Contingency budget. If we do not hire a new police officer in 1995 (excluding the "mall cop"), it is believed that most of the employees listed can be hired within the $80,000 framework. The salary resolution will be considered by the City Council at a future meeting. To begin reducing the $339,000 budget gap, we should look at the capital outlay items. The attached 1995 capital outlay list includes all of the items within the proposed 1995 General Fund. This list is the same as what was distributed to the City Council during the worksessions with the addition of the administration computer. In reducing capital outlay expenditures, we also need to review the status of our City equipment reserves. Options for reducing the capital outlay expenditures in the General Fund include: financing some expenditures with the reserves; doing some purchases now within the 1994 budget; and cutting some expenditures. Regarding the list of capital outlay expenditures, we have $30,500 worth of items scheduled to refinance with equipment reserve transfers into the General Fund revenues. It is suggested that this amount be for the following items: . . Field groomer - $10,500 - Parks equipment reserves · Flail mower - $5,000 - Parks equipment reserves . Back blade - $2,600 - Parks equipment reserves . Hoist - $3,000 - Street equipment reserves . Firetruck radios - $2,100 - Fire Dept equipment reserves . Administration computer - $3,000 - Undesignated equipment reserves . Streets computer - $2,000 - Street equipment reserves . Police Reserves radios - $2,300 - Undesignated equipment reserves The designation of these expenditures does not reduce the budget gap. One item to reduce the budget gap which relates to the use of equipment reserves, is the purchase of the Building and Zoning truck out of undesignated equipment reserves in 1994. This truck could be a lease purchase if desired by the City Council. Nonetheless, this truck being obtained in 1994 will reduce the budget gap bv $17.000. .
