MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />NOVEMBER 30, 1993 <br />Scalze indicated that she did not want to approve a <br />Capital Improvement Plan without the Park & Recreation <br />Commission's review of the document. Scalze again <br />indicated that she had problems with the plan as <br />presented. <br />The City Administrator noted that the Plan did not have <br />to be approved at this time, only the levy associated <br />with Capital Improvements. The Plan itself can be <br />worked out over a period of time, and it was his <br />assumption that the draft presented will be modified. <br />Morelan agreed that the draft was a place to start. <br />Scalze felt that an item such as rehab of the old fire <br />hall at a cost of $95,000 should be unallocated until <br />it makes sense to program the item in a particular <br />year. Scalze indicated that it appears the City will <br />be levying $80,000 per year, therefore, will spend that <br />amount. <br />The Administrator reported that he increased the amount <br />needed for rehab of the old fire station since the <br />grant the City applied for did not get funded nor did <br />it address such items as parking. The figure <br />programmed in was just an estimate. If a matching <br />grant is received in the future, that amount would be <br />adjusted accordingly. And if a project is determined <br />to be unnecessary, that project will be removed from <br />the Plan. <br />Scalze was concerned that projects were plugged into <br />certain years to make the Plan work given the <br />indication of an $80,000 annual levy. <br />The Administrator replied that the Plan is staff's <br />recommendation based on a first attempt at a plan. <br />The Administrator anticipated that the Plan would be <br />fine-tuned at a workshop meeting, and will continue to <br />be fine-tuned on an annual basis. If something on the <br />list cannot be justified, it will not be done. <br />Morelan felt that the City certainly had the needs to <br />justify an $80,000 levy for capital improvements, <br />however, if and when projects are done remains to be <br />seen. <br />Scalze felt an $80,000 per year levy was too high and <br />fit too closely with department wish lists. <br />Morelan pointed out that the $80,000 amount relates to <br />the amount of the City's debt service reduction. <br />Page 13 <br />
