Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council for the City of St. Joseph met in special sessidn
on Wednesday, August 8, 2001 at 5:00 PM in the St. Joseph City Hall. I I
Members Present: Mayor Larry Hosch. Councilors Bob Loso, Cory Ehlert, AI Rassier, Kyle Schneider.
Administrator I Clerk Judy Weyrens. I
Hosch stated the purpose of the meeting is to begin the review process for the 2002 Budget. Once again
the City is constrained with levy limits with the maximum levy increase an average of 3%. In addition to
the levy increase the local government aid formula was changed and the City of St. Joseph benefited.
. i
Weyrens stated that the proposed budget IS not balanced as the Department Head budgets are greater
than the funds available. Weyrens stated that since the City will receive additional local government aid
all the categories in the budget were reviewed and adjusted to make the budget realistic. Over the past
years some of the categories have been cut and they are consistently over budget. Some of the
budgeting shortfalls are a result of the increased growth the City is experiencing.
The Council spent considerable time reviewing the budget and requested the budget be returned to
Department Heads and request that a new budget be submitted that will fall within the guidelines
available to the City.
¡
Police Car Graohics: Sergeant Young submitted a request to place the graphicS on the new leased
vehicle. The Council questioned the graphic that was placed on the first leased car and if the graphic,
could be removed. Ehlert questioned who approved the new graphic and if those decisions should not
come before the City Council. Hosch responded that he discussed the matter with Chief Will and he
stated that the graphics did not turn out the same as the picture. The Council was in general agreement
that all the squad cars should contain the same graphics. Currently the City has three different graphips.

In order to uniformity between squad cars, Rassier made a motion to remove the graphics from the
first leased car and place the same graphics on both leased vehicles. The graphics to be used; is
the one presented at this meeting. Further when the Lumina is replaced the graphic on the squad
