3 MINUTES JANUARY 13, 1988 PAGE 3 Council requested that Gedde give the Stratford problem top priority and he indicated he will meet with the Fiscal Consultant and Attorney for Stratford, and have more information for the January 27th meeting. AMENDMENT OF DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ~1 DEFERRED TO 1/27/88 Fiscal Consultant Steve Apfelbacher reviewed a January 11, 1988 report on tax increment projections (a copy of which is on file in the Clerk's Office) indicating that Stratford Office Park will not generate sufficient tax increment revenues to make the debt service paymentsin 1988-1989. He recommended that the Council consider amending the Development Districts the three tax increment plans to allow the possible use of increments from from district to make debt service payments in another (Stratford Office Park). Council expressed concern that such an amendment might excuse Stratford's obligation to cover 25~ of a shortfall, and that it could delay possible early pay-off of the other districts. Apfelbacher felt that Council should not delay a decision on the matter as possible changes in the law might prohibit the amending of the districts at alater date. He also stressed that the amendment would not require transfer of funds from one district to another, but would give the City that option. Apfelbacher and Gedde will research the matter to determine whether or not the amendment would release Stratford from their shortfall responsibility. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 3-5.01 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO FALSE ALARMS Council discussed the proposed amendment and concurred that based on the cost of dispatching personnel and afire truck on a false alarm call, the fire false alarm fee should be increased considerably. After Council recommended a few changes in the document, Ciernia moved adoption of Ordinance ~0-88-2 which carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 0-88-2 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PART 5, SECTION 3-5.01 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO FALSE ALARMS AMENDMENT OF SECTION 5-13.01 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO LICENSE AND PERMIT FEES Wiessner recommended that the false alarm fee schedule become a part of the license and permit section of the code in order that all fees might be reviewed at the same time, and would not require amending the false alarm section each time a fee change is instituted, as fees are amended by resolution. Ciernia moved adoption of Ordinance #0-88-3 which carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 0-88-3 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PART 13 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO LICENSE AND PERMIT FEES APPROVAL OF ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT FOR 1988 Council approved an animal control contract with the City of New Brighton, for the year 1988.
