SPECIAL BUDGET WORKSESSION KENNEDALE CITY COUNCIL
MARCH 5, 1979
Mayor Radakovich assembled the meeting at 7:30 P. M. Council
members present were George Lowery, Clara Sanderson, Mayor
Radakovich, Stanley Jernigan, Charles Kuykendall and Wayne
Winters. Staff present were Evelyn Templeton and Mel Justice.
THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING WAS TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED BUDGET
FOR FISCAL YEAR 1979-80.
There was a discussion as to whether this should be a closed
meeting. Mel Justice advised the council, upon the advice of
Clyde Marshall, Jr. City Attorney and the open meeting law,
that this could not be a closed meeting. He said closed
meetings could only be held for discussion of land matters,
personnel, or litigation. The council could have an open work-
session, without public input, and reserve the public input
for the two (2) following public hearings. The Council then
began their open Budget worksession.
Mayor Radakovich recommended the proposed salary schedule step
program be discussed first since it directly affects the budget.
Stanley Jernigan asked if the step program was intended for
the next five (5) years. Mel Justice said it was intended for
a five (5) year period. He took the maximum guideline approved
by the council on November g, 1978, and backed it off from that
with a 5 to 7% increase per year. He said this was to enable
the employee to begin at Step A and progress to Step F in five
(5) years. This would be considered each year, and would not
be mandatory. The advancement would be based upon the employees
job performance, and the recommendation of his/her supervisor.
The majority of the employees fall in the "C" and "D" step.
Mel Justice said he would like to recommend the council use
this step program as a guideline, and if they wished to meet
in November and review the salaries, they could determine
whether the employee should advance. George Lowery asked if
the two (2) positions of Bookkeeping and Accounts Manager, and
Recreation Specialist had ben added. Mel Justice said yes, this
had not been approved yet but was included in the budget for
the council's approval. Clara Sanderson asked if Chief Graham
started out in Step "B". Mel Justice answered that he did
start out in Step "B" at $878.25 per month. Stanley Jernigan
said he would like to make a motion that they accept the step
program since it is in accordance with what they had previously
established. Mayor Radakovich asked if they wanted to discuss
the two (2) new positions George Lowery mentioned. He asked
if they wanted to add another individual to the budget. George
said he was in favor of adding it to the budget, but that
wouldn't mean they would go ahead and add someone. Wayne Winters
said he felt this was established as a guideline for the council
if or when they should elect to hire someone for the two (2)

positions. Wayne Winters seconded Stanley Jernigans motion to
accept the step program. The motion carried with none opposed.
Mayor Radakovich recommended a tax cut effective October 1,
1g79. The council agreed to lower the tax base from $1.35
per $100.00 assessed evaluation, shown on Page 1 of the cover
letter, to $1.25 per $100.00 assessed evaluation effective
October 1, 1979•
Mayor Radakovich advised the council that he and Mel Justice
had talked with A Fort Worth auditing firm, Capers, Gwin and
Scott, about possibly doing our audit. They will make a
two (2) year audit for $6,500. and spot audit a couple of times
during the ,year. Smith, Baines and Solana, Dallas Firm,
would charge $6,000. This firm has been doing our audits in
the past few years. Charles Kuykendall made a motion to retain
the local firm, Capers, Gwinn and Scott, to do our two (2)
year audit at the price of $6,500., seconded by Clara Sander-
son. The motion carried with none opposed.
The water rates were discussed at length and the council agreed
to revise the following proposed change on page 2 cover letter:
