City Manager O. City commission ;estimate was made by Roberts. When Carbonell explained that the amount would be even low- jer when the new meters are in- {stalled and the city then gets only 50 percent of the receipts, Ellingson, nodded, and _ said, “That’s right.” The city manager did not ex- j plain that Roberts had advised him in a letter dated December 13, 1946 that a provision should be made in the 1947 budget for ithe payment of $3,250 on the pur- chase price of the parking meters, or one-half of the estimated receipts. In fact, the budget ap- j parently does not include such jan item. “If this procedure had been followed,” Roberts explained, “The city available for current operating | purposes only $3250 of the esti mated parking meter receipts. “If the payment to the parking meter company has not been pro- vided in the budget, Roberts con- tinued “then the $6500 item is an overstatemet of anti- cipated revenue by approxi- mately $3250 and will result in | the budget literally being pad- | ded In other words, it was pointed out, if the city manager did not put the $3250 item in the budget as Roberts recommended then he should have reduced the figure to $3250.
