247 Councilman Petersen moved that advance fee of $50.00 be required to be paid by a candidate at time of filing, if it is desired that the City provide that service, seconded by Councilman Weymouth. Councilman Henderson felt this was contrary to the intent of her previous motion, which was to offer a more streamlined and efficient procedure. Motion carried, Council- man Henderson voting no. Councilman Henderson moved that Elections Account be increased to $5,000 to provide for contingencies in election expenses, seconded by Councilman Petersen (second later withdrawn). City Manager reported some preliminary figures which have just begun to come in from the County on expenses relating to the Municipal Election in April. He recommended that in the event an election is required by reason of Council vacancy, or annexation election, or other reason, funds can be taken from Budgeted Reserves at that time. Councilman Weymouth indicated reluctance to accept Reserves as a source to be drawn up for this purpose. Motion died for lack of a second. Acct. 485 (Employee Retirement) - Auditor -Accountant indicated the only item included was the total estimated retirement for general purposes of $61,000, of which $1,000 was administrative cost, and $60,000 toward Widow's Continuance. He reviewed provisions for cost of living increases for retirees, and advised of one contract amendment which would cost $5,000 year, which provides increase in retirement for employees retired prior to 1966. More complete data would be provided at the next meeting by the Auditor -Accountant and Mayor Bury asked that approval be deferred until further information is received. Acct. 486 (Other Non -Departmental Expenses) - Auditor -Accountant explained requirement for professional appraisal services on buildings and equipment for insurance purposes. Councilman Henderson questioned Item 61, Other Contractual Services (services by PROBE, $8,000), since the agreement specifies $5,000. City Manager responded that the additional $3,000 payment was adjustment to bring their budget period into conformance with City's, and this was a one-time figure. Workmens Compensation Insurance was discussed, and Auditor -Accountant advised accident rate is so poor there will be no refund for the 1969-1970 fiscal year, and the next year's cost will increase. Councilman Petersen moved to adjourn to Regular Adjourned Meeting, 7:00 p.m., June 11, 1970, Community Activities Building, seconded by Councilman Weymouth and carried. Meeting adjourned at 11:20 P.M. Marian McCrindle, City Clerk
