"This is the best budget in 10 years," City Manager Beryl Robinson Jr. said. "It's the first time we've been able to pay comparable wages." The city employes' group requested 10 per cent salary increases and/or raises comparable to other cities of the same size. The most generous raises in 10 years were included inthe fiscal 1972-73 budget, 10 per cent for all but three employes; five per cent for the water collector (as requested by the employes' group), 12 1/2 per cent increase for the city manager and a15per cent increase for the superintendent of public works. The council also raised City Attorney William Wetherall's salary by $100a month. Wetherall's increase was at the insistance of the counci) members who said: "who knows how many hours Bill devotes to city business?" The budget includes a fund balance of $25,000, federal grants of $200,000 and state gas tax monies of $80,000 with the remainder of $331,000 to be raised locally through property taxes, parking meters, business licenses, court fines, sales tax, cigarette and gas tax levies. The council also approved the employes' group's request for cancellation of the present form of health insurance ‘and acceptance of Blue Cross, with an increase cost per employe to the city of 33 cents. A uniform allowance of $10 a month was also granted the two fire truck drivers, another request made by the employes’ association, To complete acceptance of the requests made by the employes, although it does not affect the budget, the council approved 60 days maximum accumulation for sick leave, double the amount the employes may accumulate now. With the budget, adopted Monday, city residents will pay the same tax rate, $2.23, for fiscal 1972-73 as for the past several years, The rate will be used in exactly the same proportions as in previous years with the exception of the 18 cents previously collected for the library. As the city will no longer fund the library the 18 cents will go into the employe retirement fund. "This will almost pay the retirement," City Manager Beryl Robinson Jr. said. Only a small amount will have to come from the general fund, he added. In other action Monday the council approved purchasing two parcels of land from the state and accepting a third as a gift. The city approved purchasing the parking lot on Nevada Street for $14,000; a small parcel on Spring Street for $600 and accepting a green belt area along the freeway near the Sacramento Street overcrossing.
