BALOG: Okay, then that would be the proposed budget for this <br />Commission because we need to know, as all other government agencies, how <br />much money you have available to spend and that will in fact determine what <br />route we are going to go after that. And then we can get into the other part in <br />Section E, choosing either a Secretary and/or an Attorney or a search <br />committee, or whatever. But it's important to know what amount we have to work <br />with too. <br />IRVINE: Either an attorney or a secretary. Somebody has to put in <br />some hours doing something besides just writing minutes or coming to our <br />meetings, with getting us some research on the issues. I'm not sure which <br />person it would be. <br />RAY: I don't think it could be both. I don't think the secretary could <br />do a fair amount of research. <br />BALOG: Depending what kind of secretary you hire. The other <br />question, getting back to the budget, though. What is the proposed budget? <br />LEGASPI: <br />amount. <br />Zero at this point. We'd like you guys to come up with an <br />BALOG: So we come up with our own amount, present it to the <br />Council and they approve or disapprove that budget? <br />LEGASPI: I've got a guideline right now, $30,000, for the balance of this <br />fiscal year. This is what they are thinking about appropriating for the balance of <br />this year, June 30. It's a ballpark figure right now. <br />SANTANGELO: 1 agree that we need to go over this budget, but again, within <br />the timelines, it would be really good if we probably could look towards a <br />secretary. I think it would be good to get a search committee together and I'd like <br />to offer some input at that time. I think maybe if we took it agenda by agenda, it <br />would be better off, we're doing an awful lot of discussion over attorneys when <br />the budget itself maybe should be discussed. But I think we need the secretary <br />very soon, and I'm sure not in a hurry to get an attorney. I'd like to do the job <br />right. <br />RAY: So should we defer Item C. <br />SANTANGELO: I'm curious, there was a proposed budget for $30,000 until <br />the end of the year... <br />BALOG: So, what's the procedure? To me, the next question, since <br />we're still on budget should be, is that proposed from the administration or the <br />Council? <br />12 <br />
