The size and location of each of the 11 projects was based on estimations of both current and 8,000 feet long. The third project won't come cheap either. The plan proposes that one or two wells should be drilled in the northwest section of the city at an estimated cost of ultimate .yearly consumption. Current use was figured by taking $240,000.

Then the numbers were finally reduced into gallons per minute or the average number of gallons per minute the city uses during the course of the entire year, on the maximum day of demand, and right down to the maximum hour on the maximum day. on public safety." Newton informed the citizens that the city is required by law to spend road funds on the roads, and that traffic problems would increase if improvements weren't made. The police department will receive funds to add two parttime dispatch officers. It was reported that the department is slowly moving into a new program which will call for more screening of calls to determine the urgency of providing help because of the shortage of manpower. Newton suggested that the people interested in seeking solutions to Sandy's funding problems join the mayor's advisory council now and later be a part of the budget committee which meets in December. Gene Haroldsen, director of administrative services, while reporting the specific items that were cut, noted that the mayor's salary had been decreased by $3,000 as requested. The council voted to adopt the budget, with the amendments made, at the $16,499,917 figure. The tentative budget had been figured at $15,009,247. Councilman Ralph Tolman voted against the adoption of the budget. A 12.2 mill levy was left the same as last year by a vote of the council. Brent Garlick, new Community Development Block Grant staff member with Sandy reported on the total proposed package of $285,000 to be submitted to HUD. If the application is approved by the federal government Sandy will be able to begin to spend the funds by July 15 on the following items: housing rehabilitation, $50,000; emergency home repair, $5,000; fire station, improvements, $125,000; $72,000; road and CD administrator, $33,000.

But, continuing to provide that level of service and working to meet future needs will require some major improvements in the water system. Should the city reach a full development condition, water demand could nearly double. New lines, storage facilities, and water sources will be needed.

The sewer fee is broken down as and follows: operation maintenance $6; plant construction $6.50; prior debt $1. To cover plant costs, connection fees will also be raised. A $4 increased water rate will take affect in the fall. The storm sewer system which has been operating at a deficit will experience a 12 cent per day increase. Garbage removal will increase by 30 cents a month. One of the biggest cutbacks was for city employes. They will not receive cost of living raises unless revenues exceed expenditures by $50,000 in January. However, performance incentive increases will be granted to employes on their anniversary date with the budget."
