Council 11+iinutes of 5/i8~2884 ~~~ Committee, having gone through the budget as proposed by the administration, was able to realize a reduction in the proposed budgeting. Most of those funds were quickly allocated to other uses. Councilwoman Kasler said she had told Mr. 7ablonski she would be talking to him about the property maintenance issue. She has not done so yet because the method of addressing this issue has not been finalized. She had assumed it would be discussed in a committee, but that has changed to a different forum based on her conversations with the Law Dept. She will contact Mr. Jablonski when Council is ready to discuss the property maintenance issue and his suggestion of a flyer will be discussed. Councilman Dailey commented that the new part time property maintenance inspector has addressed concerns and followed up on a very timely basis. Mr. Jablonski agreed. President O'Grady, Councilman Gareau and Councilman Miller said they too had good results when directing problems to the new inspector. Mrs. Kasler noted that all the issues Mr. Jablonski was concerned about would be discussed when Council looks at the entire picture of how to address property maintenance.
