Syracuse Town Board studies police, street, park budgets

ByGLENLONG Staff Writer The Syracuse Town Board met" in special session last night, June 30, to review 1988 budgets of the Syracuse Police, Street 'and Park Departments. All were taken under jravisement for study and Interaction. «—-‘Town Marshal Bob Ziller generated the most discussion with his proposed savings plan for police officers in his police department budget. The overall percentage budget increase he asked for was 9.320 percent. Included in this was a five percent increase in wages and nine percent of the proposed wage total for a new employee savings plan. Ziller stated his plan, from American General Life and Accident Insurance Co., would cost the town less than the alternative of the Indiana Public Employees Retirement Fund, which is also available to the town. The effect on subsequent year budgets was discussed at length and board member Bill Hess stated that if the plan is good for Ziller’s department, it should be considered for all department employees. No new vehicles are in this budget and Ziller said none are planned for until BUTTS WILI/nOT SEEK RE-ELECTION After the budget meeting, Steve Butt, who will be completing eight years on the town board at the end of 1987, commented that he does not plan to run again this fall. He is the board member from Ward 3 in southeast Syracuse. The street department budget, presented by Joe Dock, utilities superintendent, contained an overall increase of 5.385 percent. Included in this total was a 10 per- " cent increase in wages. After member Joe Morganthaler said a four percent cost of living increase is projected for 1987, Dock informed the board that the budget increase is to include hiring of another needed employee. Dock said his budget has been 41 trimmed to its lowest possible total and Hess said, “I think it’s a County recorder escapes injury A collision in Leesburg at 5:27 p.m. on Tuesday, June 30, involved Betty Dust, Syracuse, who is Kosciusko County Recorder. She was driving north on SR 15 behind a truck, which prepared to turn right in Leesburg. A vehicle driven by Teri J. May drove from the east into the path of the Dust vehiicle and a front end collision occurred. There were no injuries in the accident and damage estimates were unavailable. The county sheriff’s department investigated the accident. Postcards on display at the Syracuse Library Featured this month at 5 the Syracuse Public Library is a display of old postcards of Syracuse and Lake Wawasee. The post cards on display are part of a collection of over 700 old Syracuse and Lake Wawasee „ cards given to Arlene Berkey (Mrs. Steve) by her father, Dean Henry, of Goshen, who has collected post cards for 15 years. Dating from 1906, these post cards depict life in Syracuse and around the lakes over the past 80 years. Such common place scenes as muddy streets, churches, shorelines, individual cottages, excursion boats and, of course, hotels were all subjects for the post card photographers’ cameras. Messages on the backs of the cards are almost comically modern: “the sun is shining (or not) and the fish are biting (or not!); come see us! ‘

pretty fair budget.” Alan Kitson and Kip Schumm were present to submit the park department budget, which is increased 19.624 percent to a total of $3,991. Most increases are in wages, contractual mowing and? park improvements. Kitson said rentals on the pavilion at Lakeside Park will bring an estimated $750 back into the general fund this summer and the concession stand will also generate additional revenue. Jim Hughes, board president, said ‘I think the park department is to be commended on the job that's being done. " Other Business The board approved expenditure of $225 to Ace Pest Control to "de bug" the town hall of beetles as requested by Jennifer Lewis, clerk-treasurer. The board discussed the need for a study to determine steps needed to improve pressures in the town water system and alleviate the problem of rust which some users have found in the their water. This will be studied further and discussed at the regular town board meeting on July 21. r 'wrs.S ■ ».* 11 DIRECTOR OF INDIANA LEAGUE — Nicholas M.
