Council Minutes of 3/4/2083
<br />Ordinance No. 2003-18 introduced by Mayor Musial was given its third reading. An
<br />ordinance authorizing and directing the crediting of all revenues received from
<br />emergency medical services and ambulance transportation billings in the year 2003,
<br />which would otherwise be credited to the "Emergency Medical Services Fund," to the
<br />General Fund, and declaring an emergency. Councilman McKay moved for adoption,
<br />and the motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert. Roll call: McKay, yes; Limpert,
<br />yes; Miller, yes, commenting that, when the Mayor presented this legislation, Council
<br />was advised this is a one-time event to avoid layoffs and that there is an intention to pay
<br />back and redirect the monies back to the various funds involved. He expects that to be
<br />applied to all the related ordinances. Roll call continued: Nashar, yes; Kasler, yes,
<br />commenting for the record that she is reluctantly voting yes to this and Ordinances
<br />2003-19, 2003-20 and 2003-21. She makes a yes vote only as a method to balance this
<br />year's budget without further layoffs. Also, she votes yes as these ordinances relate only
<br />to a one-time redirecting of funds. The monies should be redirected back with any sort of
<br />carryover. She hesitantly votes yes because this impacts funds that have been designated
<br />for special and specific expenditures and purchases. Without those funds, any emergency
<br />applicable purchases would be paid for out of the General Fund and/or borrowed and the
<br />debt paid out of the General Fund. She has a problem with this, but in order to prevent
<br />further harm to the employees and further layoffs and in an effort to balance the budget,
<br />she is voting yes. Roll call continued: Dailey, yes, commenting that it is his expectation
<br />as well that this is a one-year measure. The motion passed unanimously. Ordinance No.
<br />2003-18 adopted.

<br />amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), which would otherwise be credited to the
<br />"STOP Program Fund," to the General Fund, and declaring an emergency. Councilman
