AGENDA REVIEW
City Manager Birkelo stated that Staff
had tried to put forth what had been per-
ceived as unresolved issues and would
deal with each individually. He stated
that there had been some Council reluc-
tance to accept the paramedic transport
rates and the business license increase.
He stated that Staff had looked at using
some money from the Workers Compensation
Fund Balance and had determined that it
was a healthy account that could be used
as a one time assistance to the operating
budget.
Discussion followed on the budget figures
being estimates based upon a March com-
puter printout with projections for the
rest of the year, rather than having
shown actual figures which would show a
truer financial picture.
Deputy City Manager/Community Development
& Administration Lewis gave the Council a
brief rundown of the Workers Compensation

Fund and its inter-workings. He stated
that there was $80,000 - $100,000
available for use in the Operating
Budget.
Discussion followed on the reduction of
overtime; consultant fees; meetings and
conferences, etc.
Councilman Drago stated that he would not
support raising paramedic fees in the
current budget.
Discussion followed on a survey made of
San Mateo County cities' business license
fees: flat fees vs. gross receipt fees.
Deputy City Manager/Community Development
& Administration Lewis stated that if
$80,000 was taken from the Workers
Compensation Fund, then an additional
$60,000 was needed to balance the budget
that could be effected by reducing
meetings and travel expenses.
Discussion followed on cutting the
following costs: overtime; meetings and
conferences; and city-wide training.
Discussion followed on the Fire
Department Staffing Modification: to
allow the Fire Chief flexibility in the
manning schedule; that the Fire Chief was
not recommending the minimum manning in
that it would reduce the effectiveness of
each of the units when needed; that the
majority of Council would not go along
with minimum manning.
Discussion followed on the $30,000
balance in revenue sharing for nonprofit
agencies that would entail public
hearings to consider requests for
funding.
M/S Haffey/Drago - To adopt the Council
Goals and Objectives (which are attached
and a permanent part of the record of
