Miscellaneous Business:
Finance Director Bryan Hoffman presented Report 21 to Council (this is a snapshot of the city’s finances throughout the year). Some of the highlights were the decrease in interest rates and its effect on some of the bonds the city has out; it was anticipated those numbers are being watched and the city is shielding itself for the long term according to Hoffman.
Other items of note were a 3% increase in fuel costs to the street department. In the leisure time fund the Natatorium is showing a 7.6% increase, the golf course is up 4.2% and Water Works was up 8%.
Council committees will meet next Monday October 7 beginning at 6:30pm.
