Zoning Head Miffed at Rockedge Officials By JOE COLLUM TODAY IIMt HW Rockledge Zoning BoarU. Chairman Ray Chrlstensen Monday said he's angry at being snubbed by city officials on the new land use master plan, to be presented tonight at City The plan, when approved TgViowtnwikrfAimMgTSoard wilt adhere to In making Its decisions. And the board, Chrlstensen said, was supposed to supply the city planning board and plan designer Sam Mutch with input. But Chirstensen said he was not invited to the last city planner's meeting, when three of Mutch's tentative proposals were to be discussed, until an hour before the meeting.

He also said he didn't know Mutch's revised design would be aired to the planners to night until he heard Mutch himself invite about 30 'people at a Rockledge Homeowners Association meeting last Thursday night. "It's my feeling that if I can't be notified on time, it they haven't got the' courtesy to invite mi, then they don't want me," Chrlstensen said at a planning board meeting Monday, "I Informed I was on the board (which would help decide the final plan) but don't know anything that' been going on.

Melbourne Budget May Be Presented By SARA tOOAT SMI WrUW A $13 million budget request described by city officials as "extremely austere" may be presented tonight to the Melbourne City Council if final revisions are completed In time, It looks like It's going to be very tight," said Melbourne Mayor Dick Donahue. "In the past, we've had some money we nursed out for the most critical projects, but this year, it's just not there. "The city manager started out using a knife to pare the budget, but then he went to a hacksaw, and it's possible we'll have to trim it some more," Donahue said.

City Manager Earl Watklns blamed the tight money on inflation. "Our supplies have gone up 23 percent in the last year, and gas Is nearly double," he said. "You just have to calculate the dollars you're going to get in and try to work it down to where the requests are within the dollars you've got and dollars don't go very far these days." Watkins said. He said the budget still Is undergoing final revisions and is being typed, but was hopeful it would be finished for tonight's meeting, at 7:30 m. at City Hall.

The sanctuary cares for Injured wildlife and sponsors Teste's lectures and films on Florida ecology and environment. The sanctuary previously operated on private donations of $2 3,000 a year.

"I'm most sympathetic to this problem," Donahue said. "I would hope between the county and other municipalities around here, theyre might be some help. "But the final questions will go to Watkins to see if he can fit 11 into the budget." The council also will discuss repealing city noise abatement ordinances for the Melbourne Regional Airport at tonight's meeting. The future of the now disbanded Citizens Advisory Committee, a group of Melbourne residents who were to have advised city officials on policy decisions, will also be taken up at the meeting.
