            Council continued their budget workshop, reviewing the draft budget line by line, starting from where it was left off at the previous meeting, in the middle of the budget for Public Services.

          A specific item discussed was the contribution the City has made in the past to the New Castle Senior Center. The Council members elected to the last two-year term agreed to a contribution of $1,000 per month over a period of two years (coinciding with the Council term).
Since April, 2007 and the election of the current Council members, this contribution has been continued. The current Council concurred that this level of contribution to the Senior Center was appropriate, and agreed that this level of funds should be included for this purpose in the
2007-08 budget.

    A Motion was made by Councilperson Churchill to adjourn and retire to Executive Session to discuss a personnel matter and it was seconded by Councilperson Petty. The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m.    

 

Respectfully submitted,

Jill DiAngelo,
City Clerk
