MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 23, 1991 <br />ECONOMIC Mayor Hanson reported that he and the City <br />nEVELOPMENT Administrator attended a breakfast meeting hosted by <br />the Governor at which the State's financial condition <br />was discussed. The results of that meeting are that <br />the City can expect an additional $36,000 reduction in <br />Local Government Aids for the first half of 1991, and <br />there is the possibility of additional reductions <br />during the year as well. <br />oFFICIAL LaValle requested that a notice be put on the City's <br />NEWSPAPER Cable TV channel notifying residents of the change in <br />the City's official newspaper from the North Suburban <br />Press to the Roseville Review. LaValle also reported <br />that there are a couple of areas in the City currently <br />not receiving the Roseville Review. These are the <br />mobilehomes at 2442 Rice Street and the townhomes on <br />LaBore Road. Any resident not receiving the Roseville <br />Review is requested to contact the newspaper. <br />CoST SAVINGS Blesener suggested that in light of the additional <br />MEASURES reductions in Local Government Aids, the City should be <br />looking for ways to reduce costs. <br />The Administrator anticipated that he would have a list <br />of areas where costs could be reduced ready for Council <br />review in the next week or two. <br />Scalze asked if cities were lobbying the Legislature <br />with regard to the proposed reductions in LGA. <br />The Administrator replied that there were such lobbying <br />efforts, however, there is also the feeling by the <br />Legislature that School Aids took priority. The <br />Administrator reported that the $36,000 reduction will <br />come from the City's July payment, and the big issue is <br />what the Legislature will do to the City's December <br />payment. <br />Blesener pointed out that after the $36,000 cut, the <br />City will only receive about $100,000 in LGA. <br />The Administrator pointed out that the concern is what <br />the Legislature might do to homestead credits. <br />CoUNTY Blesener reviewed the Public Works Superintendent's <br />RECYCLING recommendation that the City make application for a <br />GRANT County Municipal Recycling Expansion Grant. <br />Page 13 <br />
