$286,453 in expenses; including $271,000 for the Courtyard
Apartment construction loan, $10,714 for the elected Local
Government Study Commission and $4,739 more for the Flathead
Regional Development Office. Reductions to Lawrence Park
($5,793) and Courtyard Apartment project ($11,034) budgets
reflect actual cash available for the 1995 budget. We
anticipate spending the budget on the following category of
expenses:

As you know our AFSCME employees voted last week to ratify the
three year contract I discussed with you in detail at a work
session of several weeks ago. The contract that they ratified
was the same as the one discussed with you in all aspects,
except for the first year wage offer was increased by 1 cent.
4
The economics of the contract would give the members 34 cents
per hour the first year followed by 34 cents the second and
third year. The clerks and secretaries represented by the
contract would receive an additional 20 cents per hour each of
the three years of the contract. I have included in your packet
the wage exhibit which shows the actual wage rate per job
classification for the three years of the contract. It is my
recommendation that Council ratify the contract and authorize
the city manager to sign same.
