amount for miscellaneous projects, and that this has not been a major problem in the past, as
generally enough funds have been budgeted for overtime.
Councilmember O'Neill stated that he was opposed to the budget on the basis that there is not
enough reserves for street repair. Some discussion regarding assessments for possible funding
