5. Councilman Barks presented following proposals re 1974-75 Budget:
Along,, with 10/ decrease and not hiring any more department heads
if they retire, become ill or leave the City for any reason, he
hopes. that next year the Council will get the budget at least a month
or a month-and-a-half before June 30th and will have workshop
sessions and public hearings; believes that in the interests of
economy and efficiency a tax cut is in order; feels that we should try
to hold the cost of government down; would like no new departments;
when a department has overrun its 1/12 allocation would like Council
to be notified; would like to see Council direct City Manager to
make budget projections two and five years ahead so.we will be in a
better, position to look at the budget and can use more facts than
theories; also feels $3,000 limit for departments per year for .
conferences and meetings is not justifiable; car for City Council
not justifiable; felt that if any request over and above the budget
is made the Council can consider, but allocations should be cut down'
a bit. Felt City should joint City of Manhattan Beach opposing
County tax rate. Council concurred with Mayor Post's suggestion that
the City Manager reflect on these prgpose.lsnandnmake recommendations.
