At the last regular Council meeting Mr. John Denenk, pu blic accountant, presented the Audit of the books of the C ity of Nyssa for the fiscal year 1971-72 which ended June 30, 1972. The audit confirmed the financial report prepared by Mr. Rinehart for the year's end and confirmed the operation as per the budget. City Manager Fred Koch said that the budget is divided into six funds. The General Fund, the Street Fund, the Water De partment Fund, the Sewer De partment Fund, the Swimming Pool Fund and the Bond Fund. The General Fund contains all of the operations at the City Hall, such as the City Clerk, Municipal Judge, the City Man ager's Office, this is one de partment. The General Fund also includes the Police Depart ment, Parks and Cemetery Department, Health and Sani tation Department, the Fire De partment and the City Library. This Department receives its money from several sources Franchise Fees, Fines, State Liquor and Cigarette Tax Ap portionment and Property- Taxes. Taxes make up ap proximately 35 per cent of the income for this department. The manager pointed out that some of these items do vary quite a bit from year to year, such as fines and the State Li quor and Cigarette tax refunds. The Street Department Funds come from the State Gas Tax Apportionment and local pro perty taxes. In this connection, the $13,000.OOfive-year special tax levy, which has been voted upon, is in it's last year. The Water Department re ceives its income from the water service charges, which are sufficient to cover it's op erating costs. The Sewer Fund is in the same position. The Swimming Pool Fund re ceives most of its income from property taxes. The income through admissions does not quite cover the cost of salaries and wages. The Bond Fund is totally de pendent upon taxes. For all of these operations the year-end repirt shows an income of approximately 463,- 000 dollars actual as compared to 461,000 dollars budgeted which is an overage of appro ximately $1,500.00.

Ol I) NUMBER 8444 steams through Nyssa belching smoke and blasting her whistl«« as crowds gather outside the station and at Fund has provided for some substantial cost expenditures. The purchase of a new fire en gine to the extent of more than $24,000 00. The establishment of an employee's retirement fund which is a yearly item of approximately $5,500.00. The increase of the police force from four men to six men which entails the need for two patrol cars t< make the department effective. A library budget which increased from $3,500.00 five years ago when we had only a one room library to last year 's budget of $20,000.00 Plus a general rise in cost through out all departments. The total actual budget expenditures for the fiscal year showed$7,400.00 less than budgeted. It should be obvious that this does not leave any room for any special services much as they might be desired in some areas. Koch said that the raise in the current budget over last year's budget is primarily due to general increased costs such as a substantial increases in the city’s contribution for So cial Security Taxes, the Em ployee’s Retirement Fund, Insurances, an approximate four per cent raise in wages, the special dog control funding and the rise in cost of all areas of doing business. During these years, Koch said, we have been able to pro vide these services w.thout ex ceeding the six per cent limi tation as provided for by legis lation. The raise which the budget may take within this six per cent limitation is limited only to those items that are operating costs, they do not include the bond issues nor the special levies voted on, so that it actually permits a raise of a portion of the budget only In the matter of wages, while we are in a reasonable area, we are in the |ower average of cities of our size in the State of Oregon. As an example of wages, any one of our jiatrol- men could start with the State Highway Police with a consi derable higher salary than we are able to pay. We did lose one man to a higher paying si tuation during this past year. The property owner is re sponsible for the general main tenance of property and it is the property owner’s responsi bility to keep his property in reasonable appearnace, and this of course includes the control of weeds. It would be well if all residents were to keep their property in good appearance including the alleys. It is definitely indicated that we must provide for improve ments to our water system. The City Manager's office is pre paring a report in this area as to needed improvements. We also will be confronted with the replacement of our city- owned equipment, such as the ba< khoe, street sweeper, etc., and should be able to develope more funds toward this. If any interested resident wishes to come into the office, we have several copies of the budget and the audit report which we can make available. Or if you have any questions re garding either we certainly would try to answer them, the manager said. spots throughout the valley. Over 600 people rode the train from Boise to Weiser and tack in a nostalgic view of the past.
