Thetotal budget last year was $672,099.02. A majorreason for the jump over last year was the inclusion, at the request of city attomey William Cassettari, of a $100, 000 generalreserve fund. Other items include inclusion of $6, 000 for bleachers and of road work at Condon Park. This was done at the urging of Mayor Jack Hodge who said he felt improvements at the Condon tract -should-continue to be built each NID Does Not Accept IBEW Union The Nevada Irrigation District has not granted recognition to any union as bargaining agent for its employees. This was made clear Friday in a letter read to the district directors by manager Edwin Koster. The letter to Local 1245 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was written by Koster in answer to a letter to him from union business representative M. A. Walters. According to Koster, Walter's letter suggested it was the understanding of the union that the IBEW had been recognized by the district. Walters requested a meeting with the labor commit~tee of the board to discuss union requests and questions which had not yet been answered by the board of directors. Koster, in his return letter to Walters which was readto the directors Friday for their information and concurrence, stated that the new operations manual and employee policies adopted by the board do not relate toany specific union or organization but to the compliance with the sections of the government code which spell out the requirements ( COntinued on Page 21 ) year. A $20,000 item for employee retirement benefits was also included in the proposed budget although its exact use has not yet been determined. This item prompted a lengthy discussion by members of the police department who had been investigating various types of plans including a program through the state. The hitch with the state program isthat it costs $350 to have a state representative come and explain the benefits. If the plan is adopted by the city the $350 is absorbed into the initial payment. If it isnot adopted the $350 still must be paid. This disclosure prompted Mayor Hodge, an insurance man himself, to say "It gripes me to have to pay someone to sell me something. " The council felt local insurance agents should be given the first opportunity to present plans and if these failed to fit the need then the city would be ready to pay the $350 toheara state plan. The public hearing on the proposed budget is ‘set for 8 p.m. June 30.
