9:13 P.M. - Mayor Pro Tem Pt~lido joined the meeting <br /> <br />In the face of a $3.7 million shortfall to balance the FY 93-94 budget, Councilmembers <br />engaged in a roundtable discussion of cuts and revenues each could support in order to <br />achieve a unanimous vote to adopt the budget. <br /> <br />Following lengthy discussion and provision of additional data by staff, the Council agreed to <br />delete a utility user tax on cable television, to retain as an in-house function rather than <br />contract fire dispatch services, to fund the McFadden Library at a reduced level, to retain the <br />Library book budget at $106,820, to create a $300,000 Educational Scholarship Fund, to <br />allocate $20,000 for a boxing facility, and to impose an approximately 5% increase on water <br />rates. Since these decisions still left a budget deficit of $1.4 million, the Council informally <br />instructed the City Manager to make the necessary adjustments to balance the budget for the <br />coming year. <br /> <br />ADJOURNED - 10:43 P.M. <br /> <br />Janice C.
