was to ask legislators to support the fact that local services should not be cut in order to
balance the State budget. They put forth a concentrated effort by all of cities to let the
Governor know that we are watching carefully and really want to protect our City
Government.
Mavor Buchanan, requested a brief summary of how the State Budget looks currently.
Citv Manaizer Schwab.responded that the biggest issue that we should be concerned about
is the vehicle license fee. It is believed that the Governor will leave that money alone. The
only area that affects us is the back fill or the booking fees that has been proposed to be
eliminated which amounts to approximately$17,000 to the General Fund. He feels that the
Vehicle'License Fees will be possibly affected next year.
