Volunteers are also needed for a telethon, to be held Sept..-30,;° which will raise money for the games.

add to. budget _

TERRACE — Part of the city’s surplus will probably have to be spent to cover an extra $65,000 for repairs 10 the city’s public works building’ that wasn’t budgeted.

‘The building’s storage shed roof collapsed under snow Feb. 18.. But until last week council

. thought the roof repairs would cost $170,000.

- The extra $65,000 — $56,000 of which has already been spent by the public works department — went to cleanup and repairs,

‘ after. the collapse, and on im-.. proving trusses before the new’ » director ° of .

roof. is built, engineering Stew . Christenspn told, ‘council.

“Surprised aldermen at the Jus. ly. 23 city council meeting asked : Christensen how the money was spent without it being budgeted". _of approved by them. “I don’t

think this would look very good

from an auditor’s point. of |» view,” city administrator Bob |

; Hallsor. commented. » Christensen called the confu-

sion about the cost the result of ,

‘ta lack of clarity on our part.”’

+ 44We'd thought $170, 000 was the. worst case scenario,’’ said alderman Danny Sheridan.:

-“Now we're up to $235,000 — ‘that's a worse scenario: in my"

mind,”

3 “There was a misconception that the $170,000 was an alk | encompassing figure that in-”

“I personally feel they forgot to come and get. approval on it,’? Sheridan said. “It’s not any great crime or sin to get ap- proval after the fact in’ an emergency situation. They were certainly coming with costs of what the new roof is going to be
