In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Reynolds clarified that staff was recommending replacement of the telephone system, since there was no voice mail support for the current system. In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated that staff would provide more information on lease versus purchase options for a telephone system. In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Nowak stated that the Budget assumes that the City would receive 100 percent of its share of the Vehicle License Fee revenue or replacement revenue from the State.

In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Kueny stated that the projected Quimby fee revenue included the anticipated revenue from projects such as Archstone and Pacific Communities.

Mr. Nowak then provided an overview of the budget for each Department. In response to Councilmember Evans, Mr. Nowak stated that he would provide a summary of how the money has been spent for the City Attorney for the current fiscal year. He also explained that "doubtful accounts" are receivables that may not be collected. Councilmember Harper stated that he thought the City should do a cost - benefit study of the cost of an in- house Police department versus contracted Police services. In response to Councilmember Evans, Mr. Nowak stated that the anticipated cost savings had not been realized in vehicle maintenance for shorter trips to the Resource Center versus the East Valley Sheriff's Station due to higher overall mileage in this fiscal year and vehicle maintenance costs. In response to Mayor Hunter, Mr. Nowak stated that 100 percent of education and training costs were to be paid out of grant funds. In response to Councilmember Harper, Mr. Kueny stated that a youth services officer for the high school was not currently budgeted and would be an agenda item for the May 19 regular Council meeting. Mr. Kueny suggested that the Council look at what are the priorities for existing officers and whether existing staff could serve the high school. In response to Councilmember Wozniak, Mr. Kueny suggested leaving in $10,000 in the Redevelopment Agency Budget for legal services for this year.
