Payroll Proposal Hopes for City Pay Day on Jan Twenty
Councilman Clarence Schutz proposed tapping about 45 000 owed by the sanitation fund to the general fund to cover back wages and prevent a Jan 20 payroll shortfall. Auditor Ellsworth Albert warned December tax distributions have depleted the year end balance, risking delayed pay, as the general fund faces a $32 000 semi monthly payroll. Schultz noted the sanitation fund owes the general fund for workmen compensation and retirement dating back to 1955 and suggested a bond could fund immediate payment.
