City to consider asking to overspend budget
The Lawrence City Commission tonight will consider asking the State Board of Tax Appeals to allow the city to overexpend its funds, which could cover excess costs in the sanitation budget.
Ebhan Smith, director of finance, said last week the "big blow" to the sanitation budget was the need for truck repairs. He said truck maintenance throughout the year, the purchase of three engines in the last few weeks and an August fire that damaged a truck were the reasons for the extra expenses.
George Williams, director of public works, said the extra maintenance costs could be attributed to a preventive maintenance effort. The program calls for the examination and
repair of everything that may be wrong with a truck, instead of just fixing a single item.
WILLIAMS SAID the three engines were replacements for ones that have been worn through normal use. He said that the fire in August was caused by leaking hydraulic fluid and that many parts of the burned truck were reusable.
Smith said that providing the extra $30,000 was not a problem because there was an excess $5,000 available. The excess money, he said, is revenue brought in by a garbage truck purchased this year. The rest of the $9,000 would be carried over to next year's budget, he said.
He said that petitioning the tax appeals board for permission to transfer the funds
LAST YEAR the city failed to get permission from the tax appeals board in time and it was forced to cut its collection service. This year Smith has closely monitored the budget so that last year's mistake would not be repeated.
Smith has reported monthly on the condition of the sanitation budget. Until this month, Smith had said the budget looked satisfactory.
in this year's budget was a procedure that Lawrence had done once before without any
Smith's report this month showed an additional $31,000 was needed to pay for truck repairs. Funds that were allocated but not used are now being reduced because division reduced the needed funds to $18,955.
Senate searches for a new secretary
An additional $11,015 was requested by Smith to cover any unforeseen occurrences between now and the end of the year, according to the report.
THE COMMISSION agenda also includes the following items:
