Mayor Yoel explained the purpose of the adjourned meeting was to
study tbe proposed budget for fiscal year 1971-1972 as submitted by ,
tbe City ::anager.
City Manager Quinlan r~v1ewed the narrativ~ portion of his budget
_ssage, eaphasizing that the p~rpose 0f it ~~s predicated on ~JO
principles, one being the caintaining of the present overall pro-
perty tax rate within the Cicy's ~ontrol and the other being the
ut~lizati~a of sound fiscal policies especially adapted to a
growth c~unity. He proce~ded to review some of the more pertinent
items, in su:mary adding that the administration's program was to
develop a capital improveuents ~udget later in the fall which would
include a determination of the i$pact that Maintenance coats would
have on it.
The City ~A~ager advised L;e CouncilmeL tbat a clerical error had
resulted in an overstatecent of the esti~ted fund balance and re-
quested that work ropies he changed to reflect thë corrected
figurea. He also pointed out that the total compensation for
employee services comprised 57~ or the General Fund budget. A very
rougb rule of thumb indicates that when this figure reaches b7%
the agency should review its total expenditure prograa.
Mayor Noel recognized the representatives from the Chamber of
Commerce ~~o were in attendance and asked the concur~eDCe of tbe
Council in permitting tbelll to ?r~sent their requests out of budget
order so as not to keep rheo waiting through t~e rest of the dls-
cuss ion period. Mr. DU&n~ Burlei~h, the manager of the Chamber of
Commerce, gave a presentation requesting that the previous year's
City's contribution of $15,000 be included in the budget for the
next fiscal year. After further discussion and comœents from other
.embers of the Chamber who were pre~er.t, it Wa~ agreed by members of :
the City Council to delay any óecision on tbl. item until the total .
budget bad been reviewed aDd determined,

prove:oe::t District.
The suP?~rting detail presented in explanation of the
proposed Stevens Creek Boulevard landscaping should
clarify that the project was on a major arterial street.
An inquiry should be made wbether the traffic controller
costing 51,025 proposed for the Wolfe Road and Sears
drivpvay intersection already bas been eccumbered in the

State and not the City.
