II ROLL CALL Present Absent Mr. Wilton White, Chairman Mr. Howard Anderson Mr. Charles Powell, Presiding Officer Mr. Dennis Nelson Mr. Ross Wood Mr. Fred Brechan III NEW BUSINESS The purpose of the meeting was to review and approve the suggested expenditure changes in the 1972/73 borough budget. A list had been prepared and presented to the Borough assembly for their information. Mr. White stated that the list of expenditures can be funded from the Operating and Contingency funds. Between the two, we have an adequate amount to maintain the changes. Mr. White explained the working capital account and stated that this was a surplus of money obtained by the Borough and rather than carry a large surplus forward, we have suggested this list of expenditures. He also felt that the amount for the Fire wall and door of the Main School was understated and that it will probably cost more in the long run. He anticipates that it will run about $6,000.00 and that we should change the proposed figure of $2,800.00. Mr. Nets n moved that we increase the expenditure for the Fire Wa and Door of the Main School to $6,030.00. Seconded by Mr. Brechan. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. Mr. White stated that Tie received a phone call from the Chief of Police stated, "•that federal funds are being made available for hospital radio. Since we have already made a commitment on a radio, we will install it and should the opportunity arise to replace with a stronger unit through federal funding, the older unit could be used by the city for other emergency equipment. Mr. Brechan stated that they are making a cleaning device for swimming pools that is installed when the swimming pool is being built. He believed that we should check into this arrangement and that when we have the funds, we should put this type of cleaning arrangement in our pool. Mr. White stated that we should check with Rolland Jones on th4s matter. Mr. White also mentioned that the back doors to the hospital were in need of repair. They do not close properly and in the winter they have problems of them blowing open. Mr. White believes that we should dispose of the working capital fund because we have other funds we can fall back qn now, and that with a little closer planning and surveillance you could allow for these particular items we are now incorporating into our budget. Mr. White asked Norma Holt, Acting Borough Clerk, to brief the assembly on our recodification. She stated the codification is costing approximately $1850. and the indexing and tabulation will be $450., with the Borough attorney fees running about $800.
