79, <br /> LEISURE, CULTURAL AND INFORMATION SERVICES (continued) <br /> M/S: Britschgi/Chandler to accept the recommendations of the City Manager <br /> regarding Leisure and Cultural Services, Information Services having <br /> already been approved at the time of consideration of the Library portion <br /> of the Program. <br /> Carried unanimously by voice vote. <br /> POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION (pp. 50-57) <br /> LEGISLATIVE/POLICY DETERMINATION <br /> Councilman Leipzig stated for the record that since she does not plan to <br /> be a candidate for reelection, she believes consideration should be given <br /> to increasing Council salaries to an amount closer to that paid in • <br /> general law cities of comparable size, observing that $150 per month was <br /> established some years ago to assist Council members with out-of-pocket <br /> expense and has become increasingly inadequate. <br /> City Attorney Schricker advised that the matter would involve a Charter <br /> change and could go on the next municipal ballot in April 1982, noting <br /> that previous Charter Review Committees had recommended the increase <br /> also. Mr. Schricker advised further that Council can place measures on <br /> the ballot or could appoint a Charter Review committee and ask the <br /> Committee to consider a salary change and any other proposed Charter <br /> changes. <br /> In response to question regarding the manner in which the City might <br /> share in Port profits, Mr. Schricker advised that a Charter amendment <br /> stating it in terms of excess revenue might be a vehicle for doing so, <br /> noting that there are many judgmental factors involved. Mr. Schricker <br /> advised also that a bilateral agreement between the City and the Port is <br /> also a possibility. <br /> CONSENSUS: Mayor Biagi determined it to be the consensus of Council to <br /> include the City's sharing Port revenue as an agenda item for the July 6, <br /> 1981 Joint Meeting with the Port Board. (Memo 6/14/81) <br /> It was suggested Council members might meet to determine and write their <br /> objectives. City Manager Fales advised that the Council objectives were <br /> written by staff based on the mid-year preliminary budget study session <br /> discussion of Council regarding objectives. <br /> MANAGEMENT/POLICY EXECUTION <br /> LEGISLATIVE SERVICES/RECORDS MANAGEMENT <br /> FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT <br /> FISCAL CONTROL SERVICES <br /> CASH COLLECTIONS <br /> In response to question about possible reduction in personnel because <br /> of the new computer, Director of Finance Ference said that two parttime <br /> positions will be phased out by January 1982, and after next year, no <br /> parttime employees are expected to be needed. Management Analyst <br /> Margolis responded also, stating that casual labor is also reduced, but <br /> dollar amounts rather than individual positions are listed for that <br /> category of personnel. <br /> LEGAL SERVICES <br /> In response to question, City Manager Fales advised that there is a <br /> contingency amount in reserve which will be available if the need for it <br /> occurs. <br /> 1 <br /> Budget Study <br /> 6/13/81 <br /> Page 10 <br /> • <br /> 1 <br />
