to reflect no increase from 2011 to 2012.
Mayor Bellows explained that the Council's expense account was initially
budgeted at $1150 for 2011. The Council reduced that amount to $500
earlier this year and is now proposing an increase to $750.
Council Member Swecker stated she supports this proposed budget
reduction, as she did not use $500 this past year and had a hard time
putting $750 in the budget for 2012.
Council Member LaBeau stated she is neutral on the matter, as her
employer pays for her attendance at many of the events she attends as a
City official.
