They asked Mr. Diemert to look into, with the auditor, setting <br />up an account with $1,000 per year for such expenses. The auditors have approved this as <br />long as Council is awaze of the expenditures. This ordinance creates that account and <br />appropriation to it. <br />Mr. Busa said he wants to remind Council that in 1970 or 1971 he did the same thing and it <br />was questioned by the auditors. <br />Mr. Diemert said Mr. Busa is correct.

They now require that we give them notice indicating this <br />has been adopted and that it is on record and in writing. <br />Mr. Busa asked Mr. Toth (in the audience) what his experience in other towns was. <br />Mr. Toth said if Council should deem an expense for public purpose then it is o.k. by law. <br />Mrs. Cinco said she would like to think this will be used for such things as the flower fund <br />was used and that they will receive montlily accountings. <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None Motion Cairied <br />Resolution Adopted . <br />Mr. Rinker asked Council to amend the agenda to include discussion with Steve Toth. <br />Mr. Busa, seconded by Mr. Basile, made a motion to amend the agenda to include: <br />?discussion regarding the Finance Director appointment.
