Horse Cave proposes tight budget

HORSE CAVE

City council members expressed mixed emotions Monday night after reviewing the city’s 2009-10 proposed budget with Mayor Odell Martin.

The special-called meeting was to be a working session for the council to interject their opinions regarding the budget, but one council member said it was anything but that.

“I was just under the impression we were going to work on the budget tonight, just not have the mayor read it to us. I mean I can read for myself,” said Councilman Jason England. “I really would have liked to have had this time to work on the budget. If we had questions, we should have been able to ask them and not just be read to.”

The city’s proposed 2009-10 budget will leave the city with an estimated $700 at the end of the fiscal year. According to the proposed budget, the city will have $783,405 in total receipts and $792,111 in total expenses. The remaining money is carryover funds from previous years.

Councilman Randall Curry said he thought the proposed budget was workable.

“I really think the budget is pretty close. It’s going to take some tweaking in order for us to get it to where we want it to be,” he said. “It’s

certainly something we can work with.”

Councilwoman Sue Nunn agreed, and said, “There are some things that will have to be talked about. We can work with it.”

Councilwoman Joanne Smith, however, declined to make a comment regarding the budget.

City Clerk Ann Matera went over the budget first explaining the totals in each fund and was followed by Martin who also reviewed it with the council and made suggestions on how the city’s money should be spent.

“I think it’s a good budget,” Martin said, but added it was up to the council to make the final decision.

Included in the budget is a 4 percent pay increase for Matera and Licensing Clerk Brenda Crain. The increase will bring Matera’s salary up from $29,490, that was budgeted for the 2008-09 fiscal year, to $30,784 for the 2009-10 fiscal year. Crain’s salary will increase from $20,150 to $20,842.

Four of the city’s full-time policemen are also scheduled to get a pay increase, with Chief Alan Shirley and Assistant Chief Joe Middleton receiving the largest pay increase of $2.58 per hour bringing their salaries up from $12.93 per hour to $15.51 per hour. Two other policemen will receive a $2.51 per hour pay increase, while a fifth one will receive no pay increase.

Martin said he realized that $15.51 per hour may seem like a big pay raise, but he pointed out that the pay increase brings Horse Cave’s police salaries in line with those of surrounding towns. He also noted that the policemen have not had a pay increase for the past two years.

The mayor suggested the city only pay for city employees and not thier families.
