MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 30, 1993 the back hoe attachment that was on the list. The Administrator reported that this item was on the list at the request of the department head, but after discussion of the need for this item, perhaps it should not be on the list at all. LaValle felt the 10% fund was for items that the may need, but would not want to budqet for. The Administrator indicated that if the back hoe attachment were needed, it would be listed on the General Capital Improvement Plan. However, there is no recommendation to fund this item. The Administrator reported that all departments and other City groups were asked for their wish lists in order to compile the l00 listing. The Administrator also noted that Canadian Days was not a part of the committee that ranked the list, and suggested that the committee could be restructured to include Canadian Days. Morelan suggested that the listing be presented at an upcoming meeting for Council action. Pedersen noted that the items on the list are preliminary, and research must be done to determine which are justified. Morelan suggested that perhaps 10% funds should be used for funding community services such as North Suburban Youth Services Bureau. The Administrator replied that if the City uses the funds for those kinds of services, and the money goes away, the City would have to address future funding of those items. The Administrator reviewed the Water & Sewer Capital Replacement budget, reporting that this budget has not been prioritized. Morelan pointed out the $12,000 deficit in the Park Development Fund. The Administrator reported that a transfer from another fund, such as the Park Acquisition Fund or a closed bond fund, will have to be made to eliminate that deficit. The deficit is the result of a contribution that was planned for, but never received. Morelan asked if the Council approves park expenditures prior to their being made. Page 19
