MIN~PES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />NOVII'4BER 29, 1994 <br />The Council noted that if for some unforeseen reason, <br />the $2,000 is needed, Canadian Days would be aware of <br />this by mid-1995, and it would be likely that the City <br />could adjust its budget to provide the funding. <br />The Administrator pointed out that he has recalculated <br />the estimate of General Fund Reserve and at this point <br />it appears that $16,366 could be transferred to the <br />Capital Improvement Fund. These are estimates, <br />however, and subject to change. <br />Morelan asked how the Administrator projected building <br />permit revenues. <br />The Administrator replied that he looked at 1994 <br />revenues as well as building permit revenue history <br />over the past few years, tying into the lowest years. <br />Also considered is the D& T Trucking Development as <br />well as the townhome development proposed by Gordie <br />Howe on Minnesota Avenue. There are also projects <br />planned at Little Canada Elementary School and <br />Roseville Area Middle School during 1995. Using all <br />this data in a conservative manner, the 1995 building <br />permit revenue was estimated. The Administrator <br />pointed out that building inspection expenses were tied <br />to this data, including an additional $1,200 for hourly <br />work which might be necessary during 1995. <br />Morelan asked if the City increases plumbing permit <br />fees at the same time electrical and mechanical fees <br />were increased. <br />The City Administrator replied that some of the <br />plumbing permit fees were increased, however, they are <br />reflected in the mechanical permit fee projections. <br />Morelan asked about the increase in Contracted Services <br />expense for police protection. <br />The Administrator replied that the dispatcher contract <br />was recently settled at an additional cost of $3,100 to <br />the City. The approximately 10% increase in the cost <br />of police protection includes this contract settlement <br />amount, the cost of an additional officer, as well as a <br />contract increase. The Administrator reported that the <br />Sheriff's Department has submitted applications for <br />some Federal grant dollars which are available as part <br />of the Crime Bill. Should these grants be approved, <br />3 <br />
