3. Consider and Possible Action on FY 1999-2000 Budget.
City Administrator addressed this item, and indicated the budget needed to have line
items for secretarial, donations, and sales tax. He asked if the members saw any other
line item expenses they wanted to add at this time.
Board did not see any other necessary line items at this time.
Frank Ballard addressed the Board, and indicated in April oflast year the City Council
had voted to allow the Chamber to use funds from the Hotel/Motel tax to create a
brochure to promote tourism. He indicated the law is very specific about not using
these funds to lure permanent residents, only tourism. He thought about investing the
money in a computer and a high quality printer to do the brochures in house. He asked
the Board if they would like him to come up with a proposal from the Chamber
regarding this and possibly use some 4A funds to purchase the equipment so it could be
used for promotional literature to bring businesses to Sanger also.
Discussion.
Frank Ballard indicated the law allows 10% of the 4A funds to be used for promotional
items.
Carroll McNeill indicated he would like to know how the Board is going to get back the
money it invests.
Discussion regarding the brochure and the cost of a good printer.
Garland Thornton indicated if they were going to split the cost between the Hotel/Motel
tax and 4A funds, he was in favor of it.
Consensus of Board for Frank Ballard to come up with a proposal.
City Administrator indicated he would work up a chart of accounts for the budget, and
send it to them, the members can make changes and let him know.
4. Consider and Possible Action on Possible New Business.
City Administrator gave members a handout regarding a possible new business in
Sanger. He indicated the City is faced with how attractive a package they wanted to
pay for. He indicated the obvious location for the business would be North of Sanger,
it would provide about 600 jobs, and we could get about 1.5 million dollars from the
State for water and sewer lines.
Discussion regarding ET J.
