Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Committee, and Long Range Planning .Committee, reported the Finance Committee has discussed the request by the Law Department to amend the organizational chart of that department to provide for a part time clerk at $3.25 per hr. with the Federal Government, under a program, paying 75X of that amount. It is the Committee's recommeadati:a that the Law Department Organizational Chart be amended to include a part time law clerk. Mr. Wilamosky discussed how this will help the Law Department and the cost to the City; 2) the Finance Committee het jointly with the Environmental Control Committee, and all City Officials that were present at that meeting were advised by Mr. Wayne Kuhn of McDonald & Co. that the estimated receipts - revenues during 1977 at the Treatment Plant will not suffice to cover and pay for all of the expenses that are anticipated to be incurred during 1977. Mr. Kuhn stated that it was his estimate that an additional $b30,000 will be necessary to cover all of the expenses and that also includes all of our debt service. Tt was computated that the current sewer charge of $7.45 per thousand cu. ft. of water would have to be increased by approximately 64X or $4. more per thousand cu. ft. of water. It would be increased to a total, as stated by Mr. Ruhm, to $11.45 per thousand cu. ft. Mr. Rut~.n further stated that he estimates in 1978 we again will rsquire as additional $97,004 to cover expected increases for operaticros of the Plant and Systems. Mr. Wilamosky commented on .alternates with regard to the purported deficit of $634,400. Thinks we are going to have to look forward to a possible consideration of an increase in the sewer charge as indicated by Mt. Ruhr of $4. per thousand cu. ft.; We can also evasider using a portion of our General Fund money in conjunction with a s~asller increase in the sewer charge. Mr. Wilamosky stated here again with the possibility of taking from General Fund mrmies we will have to look into what other. sexvicea would be affected by taking aaray from the General Fund. We do anticipate an additional revenue in 1977 because of the revaluation but had also met and have discussed ideas and uses for the additional revenues we-had anticipated receiving. At this time there is no final determina- tion as to how the situation will be handled, but are continuing to work on it and will be reporting on same.
