CITY COMPTROLLER � ��� DEPUTY CITY COMPTROLLER
. April 18, 1966
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
Dear Sir: �
Attached hereto is a draft of a resolution approved by the Special
Assistant Corporation Counsel, Mr. Robert E. 0'Connell, wherein it is
proposed to finance the remaining direct costs for snow removal in the ,
amount of $109,822.13, by means of a temporary loan from the General Fuud
Surplus. The charges from the bureau of Municipal Equipment have not
been included. These are shown on their records as accounts receivable
and any cash overdraft in this fund is covered by the use of our overall
cash balance. No work of the bureau is being deferred because of this
procedure. It is anticip�ted this fund will be reimbursed after receipt
of the decision from the State Supreme Court on the appeal of the District
Court ruling relative to snow removal financing.
The Public Works Department, the Corporation Counsel, members of
my staff and I have had several discussions relative to the use of State
Aid Funds for this purpose. Although there was a general feeling that
these funds could be used, insofar as these funds for maintenance had
already been budgeted and progra�ed for summer maintenance of streets,
it was concluded that such a procedure at this ti.me would work a hardship
on the Department. The most conclusive proof of this statement is the
usual condition of your City streets after a winter of snow and freezing
conditions.
As the Public Works Department has already transferred some of its
•appropriations on a temporary basis and as this present problem is a '
• responsibility of the entire legislative body, I am making this recommend-
ation to you for your consideration and approval.
This resolution, in addition to providing funds for the payroll
charges due and payable on April 22, provides 'funds to liquidate our
liability for all sand and salt used during the entire winter street
maintenance program.

' T�e Honorable Mayor and -2- April 18, 1966
° Members of the City Council
The surplus report for the year 1965 is in the process of being
prepared as required by the City Charter. Preliminary calculations
indicate the balance available in the General Fund Surplus after
deducting the period operating deficit and temporary loans will be
approximately $300,000.00.
If our operations result in a similar deficit for 1966 and for
some unforseen reason, temporary loans are not repaid to the General
Fund Surplus, the possibility of all departments adjusting their
appropriations to cover a si.milar deficit should not be overlooked.
Respectfully submitted, ,
