<br />II and the merchants have now asked the city to assume operation and maintenance costs.
<br />,i The city has actually been supplying the globes, since it has the only available
<br />: supply, and operation of the. electrIcity would be about $11.00 per month. To replace
<br />the lights with standard 'commercial fixtures would cost about $32.50 per month. Staff
<br />recommends that the city assume cost of maintenance and operation of the lighting.
<br />
<br />!! Mrs. Beal suggested that some thought be given to designing more attractive fixtures e
<br />!i for the entire city. She felt those now in use were not pleasing.:'i'~, :,

<br />
<br />M. Budget Committee Orientation Tour - Concern has been expressed in the past by budget
<br />committee members over lack of orientation 'to physical and operational facilities and '
<br />: departmental activities. Since Wednesday is normally reserved for Council meetings
<br />I ' ,
<br />and tours, it was suggested that uncommitted Wednesdays might be used for such orienta-
<br />tion by Council and Budget Committee members. If councilmen wished, the hour before
<br />meetings could also be used for unstructured discussion of items to be before the
<br />Council, in light of Councilwoman Bea1's earlier comments.
<br />
<br />Councilwoman Beal requested that, whenever possible, the facilities to be visited not ~
<br />be alerted of the Council's coming. Manager felt this might be possible, with the
<br />exception of the jail, which must be prepared for groups.
<br />
<br />Mayor Ariderson felt the Council should make such inspections at least once every two
<br />years.
<br />,
<br />Councilman Williams wondered if it would be possible for budget commi ttee members to
<br />take part, since for them it would be only a one-hour session each Wednesday.
<br />"
<br />,
<br />Mayor Anderson requested staff to make an initial attempt to assess the value of such ':
<br />tours. He suggested that the group assemble at the facility to be toured, rather than
<br />at city hall, and that this might save considerable time.
<br />
<br />Mrs~ Beal asked that consideration be given to the article in Nations Cities, regarding
<br />input from citizens as to what their budget priorities were. Such a technique might' _ I'
<br />serve to get the budget passed.
