Proposed 1993 Budget - Page 2 the just under $46,000 (including capital) increase in community relations costs, what is the justification for this and what is the consequence if this is not approved? what is the total expenditure to collection agencies and what revenue do they bring in? the increase of $4,800 in staff development and conferences, what and who would this be for? Please send supporting backup material to our City Clerk, S. Rauh before January 7th for inclusion in the Council agenda. ; As outlined in Councillor Talbot's earlier letter to you the City is very concerned with the present cost sharing formula inequities which have resulted in our per capita cost increasing by $1.09 in 1993 while other areas are looking at substantially less, in some cases under $0.75 per capita. The city would like to see the cost sharing formula reviewed. See you at our January Lith Council meeting. Yours very truly, . Maitland, he reasurer - Deputy Administrator JM/ms a | ae OER
