Mayor Horton stated that the City was expecting to generate about $30,000 from the tax on cell phones. She asked how many cell phone sites were we anticipating. She felt that these companies make a substantial amount of money; she knew the Water District is making over $100,000 fr-om their sites. Mr. Goss replied that they were projecting two or three sites. Depending upon the site and the improvements to make it useable for them, it was possible to generate as much as a $1,000 per month per site. We look at this over time as an opportunity to significantly increase this. We Io{ik at this reventm sonroe as a start since we are .just getting started in this area. Councilman Rindone presented a list of items for staff to look into: ( 1 ) the Work Center, he hoped there would be a Supplemental Budget item addressing this; (2) staffing changes related to the animal shelter; (3) cost for a 1% salary adjustment across the board.
