(-; : <br />11 <br />Mayor Beebe said in recent weeks many hours have been spent discussing the <br />1983 budget and he thanked those involved for their input and aasist. The <br />1983 objectives, budgetwise, wili be to avoid any undue expenditures. There <br />must be an absolute need, critieal.to the..health, safety and welfare of the <br />residents before any.requisition is approved. Department Heads have been <br />mosfi cooperative in this area. Our,.income, essentially derived from taxes, <br />has tapered. The cost of doing business fioday in certain uncontrollable <br />areas which result from..legislation.passed in Columbus presents a very real <br />problem. The new jail standards law is an example. He cited the increases <br />affecting the Village. Due to rising insurance costs many communities have <br />asked the employees to share in the cost, which the Village hopes to avoid. <br />Our objectives are to.avoid.layoffs, shorter work weeks.or pay reduction. <br />Recently, it was explained to employees that a blanket increase at this time <br />must be postponed. Their response was most commendable_and understanding. <br />We will again look at the financial picture July lst and.if possible, make <br />an adjustment. The:10% employee.increase last January came to over $100,000.00. <br />The uncertainities of 1983 affect us all. Checks and balances are of the <br />utmost importance in the Mayf ield Village Company - as they are with all of <br />our tax paying residents:. We will continue to keep our.._residents informed on <br />the "State-of-the-Vi.llage". <br />Mayor Beebe stated that Eloise Ma.ynard, Assistant Finance.Director who is <br />recovering from a fractured hip.is.doing fine.
