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. There will twenty copies
made, ten in hard binding and ten in soft binding. This
will be completed within one year. Mr._Brachan_mnved few
