L " contribution to this facility . Mr . Harry Walls , Probation Officer , and member of the Board of Directors , Stambaugh House , advised this was not a County facility but was run by a Citizens ' Committee , whose job it was to find money to operate . He advised that funds from the County pay the rent , which amounts to $6 , 00w , but there were other things that needed to be paid for : telephone expense , and grounds and maintenance . He mentioned the various groups which use the facilities . He hoped the City could help fund a portion of their expense . He indicated they would try again to obtain some funds from the Zellerbach Fund . Following considerable disctssion , it was indicated by Council that inasmuch as it provided a valuable community service , the City should perhaps make some commitment to it , but should be treated in the same way as similar requests , and it was suggested that in the future a detailed budget be submitted as is required of other groups . City Manager noted numerous requests of this type are received by cities , and indicated he would like to provide Council during the year with the report that summarizes all of these "bits " of money given during the year , noting this was not an inconsiderable amount . Councilman Leipzig suggested that perhaps the Parks Division might be able to provide grounds maintenance , and the City Manw er advised that if Council wishes , he would refer the suggestion to the Parks Superintendent regarding maintenance . Budgeted Reserves . City Manager indicated this was self -explanatory , noting it was less than committed in the current fiscal year . Councilman Rhodes felt that in view of the incomplete commitment for transportation funds , this reserve should be considered absolute minimum . Police Protection . City Manager advised that the major reasons for increases were salary increases , initiation of Equipment Service Fund , which now allocates charges directly back to the departments , and addition of two clerical positions , effective January 1st . Fire Protection . It was noted by City Manager that the major changes involved , as with the Police Department , charging back equipment directly to the department , and also the proposal for two positions . Civil Defense , Councilman Rhodes referred to a brochure recently distributed by the County , listing the City Library as one shelter , He indicated he had checked this location , and felt it should be stocked with water and food supplies . Vice -Mayor Henderson responded that d1 e had worked with this under earthquake safety , and stated that more is being done than is realized , 5-13 -72 Adj . Reg . Mtg . Budget
