MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />DECEMBER 16, 1993 <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. <br />Ayes (5) LaValle, Scalze, Morelan, Hanson, Pedersen. <br />Nays (O). Resolution declared adopted. <br />10~ The City Administrator presented a proposed 10% Capital <br />CAPITAL Improvement listing. <br />IMPROVII~iT <br />LISTING Scalze asked why the cost of the City survey was not on <br /> the 10% Capital Improvement listinq, since this would <br /> save the tax payers money and was a one-time <br /> expenditure. Scalze felt this would make more sense <br /> given the parameters of the use of the 10% monies. <br /> The City Administrator replied that this is an option. <br /> However, the reason that the City survey is included on <br /> the General Capital Improvement listing is the ranking <br /> that the survey received at the goal-setting session. <br />Scalze felt that the 10% monies should be used for <br />things the City would not levy for, things that would <br />enhance City services but would not be done if it were <br />not for this windfall. Scalze agreed that the survey <br />received top ranking at the goal-setting session, and <br />that the survey should be done regardless of whether it <br />was paid for from lo% monies or general capital <br />improvement funds. Scalze felt that the 10% monies <br />should be used to relieve tax-payer burden, otherwise <br />the use of that money is out-of-line with what the <br />Legislature has said can be done with it. <br />Pedersen did not believe the City was planning for the <br />frivolous expenditure of the 10% monies. <br />Scalze pointed out that the money has been referred to <br />as "mad money". <br />Pedersen pointed out that one Council Member has made <br />that comment, and that the entire Council has not made <br />any decisions on the expenditure of these funds. <br />Scalze pointed out that the City Hall sign included on <br />the 10% list may also be out of the realm of what the <br />City wanted to do with these funds. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that the capital <br />improvement committee is recommending the four capital <br />improvement items listed on page 76 of the agenda for <br />1994. These items total $30,400. <br />Morelan asked how payment for these items would work. <br />The Administrator replied that with regard to the Fire <br />Page 16 <br />
