Regarding Fair Labors Standards Act.

minutes of October 21, 1985, a resolution was adopted to
adopt the provisions of Fair Labors Standards.
However, it was not quite specific enough to protect the
City in case the Fair Labors Dept. ever conducts and audit.
John stated that the City is currently operating under 7 (K)
exemption. which is 171 hours in a 28 day work cycle.
John felt. that City Council needed to state that Police
Dept. is currently working under 7K (exemption).

that it is duly noted that .the police -department has been
operating under 7(K) exemption of the FLSA since Oct. 21,

John stated that John Graves who is conducting our audit has
requested for the Volunteer Fire Department, Police
Reserves, and Library to submit their financial records in
order to conduct a complete audit. for the city.
Discussion.
Mayor Armstrong stated that probably the only fund that
financial records are not kept in control of the city is
the Volunteer Fire Dept. They do receive County and City
monies.
Discussion continued concerning fire dept. equipment. Since
the city pays the insurance on those vehicles then the
titles to that equipment should be in control. of the city.
The city also pays worker's comp. on all the volunteers,
maintains all their equipment, and any expenses that are
incurred.
Mayor Armstrong did state the auditor will be needing this
information real soon.

the authority to open all accounts to the accountant and
anything that deems necessary that he needs for the audit.

at least 20 more loads of dirt at $50.00 a load for the

tractor. When the vegetation dies at the landfill, some
bags could still be seen at the surface. This will need
to be done before final inspection.
c. Mayor Armstrong addressed the problems at -the Senior
Sullivan Center. She feels that if the problem
continues SPAN will eventually pull out.
