Members of the city council, on a 4-0 vote, moved to adopt the 2007-08 budget Monday evening.
A city mill has a value of $2,109. The bottom line number for the budget is $5,449,606. It is inclusive of the remaining sewer and water grant expenditures of $1,606,879. Take away the grants and that number would be $3,842,727.
A more detailed look at the budget will be in the next edition of the I-O.
The council acted on a number of resolutions, one being R-955, concerning the street vacation for the Mission Church that passed on a 4-0 vote. Avenue C in the Lightner-Smedsrud, Inc. Edition will be closed.
Resolution R-953 was also passed. This authorizes the transfer of funds ($6,000) from the general fund to the firemen’s pension fund to keep it solvent. This was the same amount as last year.
In still one more resolution, R-952, the council moved to transfer $6,000 from the SID Revolving Fund to the general fund and grant the money to the Port Authority. This also passed on a 4-0 vote.
The aldermen passed a pair of Interlocal agreements with Pondera County on 4-0 votes.
The first dealt with Justice of the Peace Audrey Brown being the city judge. The second deals with County Attorney Mary Ann Ries being hired to handle prosecution cases until a new city attorney can be put on board.
There was discussion on an upgraded automatic garbage system. It involves the purchase of a new truck that picks up containers without the driver leaving the truck.
