1. BUDGET
WORKSHOP - Capital Improvements
Pat Larsen presented a list of requested Capital Projects
for the next five years. She stated that
the amount requested for the Fiscal Year 2006-07 totals $4,778,000. Due to the requested projects, the budget is
out of balance by $3.2 million.
John Daniels presented information on the Fair Labor
Standards Act. He received verbal
information about a possible violation of the Act by Price City employees. He investigated the situation and learned it
was unfounded. He talked to the
employees involved and reminded them that it was our policy and the law to
compensate them for all hours worked.
They indicated they understood the FLSA.
The Fair Labor Standards Act states that employers will pay non-exempt
employees at an overtime rate for hours worked over 40 in a week. He will issue a letter to supervisors
reminding them to fully comply with the law in this regard. John scheduled a budget meeting for
personnel for Monday, March 20, 2006, at 7:00 a.m.
Discussion continued on the Capital Project list. It was recommended to place $12,500. In the

A combination grant to purchase new playground equipment for Washington
Park, construct restrooms at Cliffview Cemetery, and beautify entrances to the

As there were several requests to replace department
vehicles, it was recommended that the list be given to the Fleet Supervisor to
