Show Budget grows by $67,000 Pleasant Grove City Council approved the expenditure of $67,000 for various items when the budget was reopened last Tuesday night. Last spring when the Pleasant Grove Ci(y Council approved the 1985-86 fiscal year budget they decided not to plan on Revenue Sharing Funds for the General Fund in case the funds were not received. Fortunately, the funds did arrive and the city council put $67,000 from Revenue Sharing into the Capital Project Fund and transferred the sales tax funds previouly budgeted to Capital Improvements back into the General Fund. The largest chunk of the excess funds was used for an employee compensation adjustment in December. The cost of this was $16,000. In addition, there was an increased audit fee of $8,000 because it took considerably longer to audit the city books this year because of administrative changes during the year. Finance Director Kay Driggs asked that $12,000 be set aside for special projects which will be used for emergencies as determined by the mayor, staff and city council. Other allocations included $6,200 for health insurance costs; $3,000 to the community theater; $1,000 fire station roof repair; $1,800 cinder truck repair; $1,200 street dept. pickup repair; $4,400 grader repair; $1,300 circle bar repair on Cat grader; $2,900 additional help at city hall; and various other repair bills. |
