<br /> MINUTES <br /> <br /> City Counci l <br /> September 24, 1980 <br /> Council had some discussion over the $5,000 the Park Commission has <br /> requested be budgeted for the development of park design. Councilwoman <br /> Scalze informed 'the Council that this $5,000 would be used for the <br /> development of City parkland other than Spooner Park. It may be in <br /> the form of picnic tables or benches. Scalze also stated that the <br /> Park Commission is surveying City residents to determine how the <br /> City should develop its park land. <br /> Mrs. Scalze also stated that the monies the City is collecting in the <br /> form of park land dedication fees the Park Commission would like to <br /> use exclusively for the acquisition of additional park land. <br /> Mayor Hanson asked how much additional development of Spooner Park <br /> will be done. Mrs. Scalze stated that she believes the development <br /> of Spooner Park is just about complete. <br /> The Council approved the Parks & Parks Commission budget as presented. <br /> The City Clerk stated that the budget for Senior Citizens would remain <br /> as last year's budget at $2,126.00 for the year 1981. Council approved <br /> this portion of the budget. <br /> The City Clerk presented the Canadian Days portion of the budget at <br /> $2,500.00 for the year 1981. This is an increase of $500.00 over the <br /> 1980 budget. <br /> Mayor Hanson stated that he was not in favor of increasing the budget <br /> for Canadian Days. <br /> Councilman DeBace questioned why the Canadian Days budget for 7980 <br /> is over its $2,000.00 limit. Jim Morelan stated that he thought the <br /> Canadian Days committee was under the impression that they had a <br /> budget of $2,500 for 1980 and not $2,000. <br /> Councilman Fahey questioned whether or not the City benefited from <br /> Canadian Days. Fahey felt it might get to the point where Little <br /> Canada residents won't be able to attend the Canadian Days celebration <br /> because of the outside people who attend. Fahey also stated that he <br /> thought the Canadian Days celebration was to become self-sufficient. <br /> Mr. Fahey suggested that the Council decrease the Canadian Days budget <br /> by $500 each year until they are no longer receiving monies from the City. <br /> Fahey suggested that the Council budget $1,500.00 for Canadian Days for <br /> 1981. <br /> Council approved the Canadian Days bu dget for 1981 at $1,500.00. <br /> The Roads portion of the 1981 budget is estimated at $59,71.500. <br /> Councilman Fahey questioned what the $5,000 budgeted under Capitol Outlay <br /> would be used 'for. Roger Glanzer replied that these monies would be used <br /> for equipment that might need to be rented or purchased and for the <br /> repair of any roads that might break up. <br /> The City Clerk commented that there is a mistake in the budget. The <br /> budgeted amount for motor fuels should be $1,500 instead of $1,000. <br /> Therefore, the total budget should be increased by $500. <br /> Page -3- <br /> <br />
