An updated budget summary was fur- nished to the Council. Mayor Craddock stated she felt the County should provide a firetruck and personnel to operate it. Judge Bur- nett said it was his opinion that the county was buying a service from the city, which helped offset the city's expenses. He said if something could not be worked out, it would be of more benefit to the county to have firetrucks closer to areas to service structure fires. Mayor Craddock asked for a committee to be formed of Mrs. Norris, Mrs. Mendez, Mr. Kreczmer and Judge Burnett and whoever he wanted to be on the committee, with Mrs. Norris acting as chairperson. A meeting is to be scheduled Thursday, September 2, 1982. Mr. Krecz- mer voiced an objection to car allowances and was in favor of city employees keeping mileage instead. Mr. Gonzalez presented some al- ternatives for softball fields for the Council to consider in the new budget. Mrs. Norris thought the best alternative would be to go to bids on the softball proposals, and it will be presented to the Council at a future meeting. Judge Burnett advised the Council he needed to leave the meeting but wanted to say he was in favor of the UDAG pro- posal and use of the Show Barn area for the civic center if the Council wanted that area and was also interested in the softball fields being at the civic center location. There was a review of proposed utility rate increases discussed with the Council. The proposals numbered #1 are the recommendations of the Staff to the Council.
