This position would be for 19-3/4 hours per week. Personnel Mrs. l oxmnelmeyer noted that she has extrapolated the floating clerk out of that budget,as well as the part-time position.

Fire Mrs.Rommelmeyer noted that she needs the recommendation from the Finance Committee for the Fire Department budget. uzldxu Mrs.Rommelmeyer noted that the Finance Committee recommendation for Building Salary Wage is in the amount of$151,83 1. She noted and questioned if included in this amount is the support of the full-time clerk of$18,616 as well as$3,000 in Overtime. It was noted that this was correct. Mrs.Rommelmeyer then noted that the full-tine clerk is now being funded by Southport in the amount of$26;500. It was noted that the motion rade by the Finance Committee was to approve the fufl-time clerk provided Southport pays for the full cost of the clerk. Mfrs.r o melmeyer stated that the position is being created with no funding--this would mean that when the Southport money is expended, if they wanted to pick up the position next year,the position would already be created,and tbcy would just have to pick up the funding. Since the money to fund the clerk was voted into their budget,the Finance Committee members agreed that they need to remove the amount of$18,616 from their budget recommendation.
