what improvements/work needs to be done in order that it spected
can be opened for use as a museum.
Community Development Director Bruckner addressed his
budget. He advised that proposed Architectural Handicapped
Barrier Commission could possibly function better as a
committee, rather than a Commission. As a Commission having
to approve plans, etc., would be a duplication of efforts;
since both Planning and Building scrutinize plans for
mandated handicapped regulations; also it would further
delay the process. As a committee they could tour the City
for violations, look at and promote new legislation for
their cause, etc.
General discussion was held regarding his budget as well as

stated that Park and Recreation Commissioners need to attend
conferences and seminars in order to learn what their roles
are, and that $2,500 should be restored for that use. He,
also, advised that there was no staff member present during
the Senior meals to help and requested that this be looked
into.

,City
Children's Librarian position had been frozen for a year.
He advised that the Library received a $30,000 grant each
year, incumbent upon the Library Budget remaining the same
or higher each year. This year, because the budget was less
than last year, he was concerned that the grant would not be
given to the Library.
General discussion was held regarding this issue and the
possibility that since a capital improvement project was
planned for re -roofing the Library that these funds added to
present Library Budget could qualify for the state
allocation.
