MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 9, 1994 Council's desire. Morelan pointed out that if the Council decided one of the items on the list was not needed, it would be nice to know which of the unallocated items would then move onto the list. Scalze stated that she liked the process just as it is and liked the idea of remaining funding requests being unallocated. Scalze questioned why these items should be allocated if the City doesn't have the dollars to fund them. Scalze felt that the process worked, and she liked the way the Committee functioned. Morelan felt it would be nice to have the unallocated items prioritized should the City receive more 10% dollars. Pedersen pointed out that if this is the case, the Committee can always meet again in six months to prioritize unallocated requests. Scalze agreed. Pedersen pointed out that funding requests are on and off the list due to a variety of circumstances, and stated that he did not want to be locked into a list since things change. LaValle agreed that the l00 list must be flexible and something that the Committee can continue to work on if need be. Morelan pointed out that the Fire Department's Fire Prevention/50th Anniversary is next year, and suggested that funding may be needed for this event. The Fire Chief pointed out that funding for the Fire Prevention/50th Anniversary was unallocated. However, the Chief thought that the Fire Department's pull tab operation would generate enough revenue to provide funding for this item. Morelan asked the next step in the process. The City Administrator reported that the 10% Fund would be put on the budget agenda, and the City Council will then make a decision on which items are funded. The budget document will be updated to include the Committee's recommendation and show current fund 9
