Stated t~ere is nothing wrong~ it is just a matter of getting the schedules needed. Councilman William Comcowich arrived. Budgets Mayor Homeyer request Councilmen submit what they desired to see submitted for review of budgets for next year as soon as possible. Councilman Whitaker and William Dunaway stated their concern that the proposed expenditures for 1972 list~ on the sheets now being submitted exceed the budgeted amounts for 1972. City Manager Leon Wurl explained that he had warned Council of this at the first study session and the reason being that the computer estimates the amounts on a 12 month basis, i.e. $38,000 in the proposed expenditures for 1972 for tempor- ary help between now and the end of 1972 in the Parks and Recreation budget. This of course will not be spent because all temporary help has been laid off because of the end of the saason. Average for each account is taken for the month and multiplied by 12 and this is the amount listed in the estimated expend- itures for 1972. Manager Wurl further reported there are two ways to s~bmit a budget to Council: (1) Manager balances the budget and s~bmits a total budget to Council for review, or; (2) Council review of each departments re- quest and then the Council reviews and outlines their priorities for each department and then the budget is balanced before the public hearing on same.
