MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />~CTOBER 23, 1996 <br />Fahey suggested that the status of the 10% Fund could <br />be tabled until a decision is made on the Historical <br />Society Addition. <br />LaValle agreed. LaValle pointed out that another <br />consideration with the Historical Society Addition is <br />the potential need for additional employees. <br />Fahey noted that it is clear that a majority of the <br />Council favors going forward with the Historical <br />Society Addition. <br />Scalze stated that she did not see the City eventually <br />running the Historical Society, and pointed out that <br />should the Historical Society not exist in the future, <br />the City would always be able to put the additional <br />space to use. <br />The City Administrator recommended that the Council <br />make a decision on the Historical Society Addition as <br />part of its review of the Capital Improvement Budget. <br />This Budget will be presented to the Council at the <br />next budget workshop. Funding will be allocated as if <br />the project is going forward. If it does not, those <br />dollars can be re-allocated. <br />The Administrator noted that the City~s Truth In <br />Taxation Hearing is scheduled for December 3rd. Budget <br />workshops will need to be concluded by that date, and <br />the Administrator recommended that the Capital <br />Improvement Budget as well as salaries be discussed at <br />the next workshop. If necessary, there would be time <br />to schedule one more workshop after that time. <br />Scalze suggested that the Arcade Street project should <br />be discussed as part of the Budget process given that <br />assessments for the project would be effected if access <br />is provided via Little Canada property on Arcade Street <br />to serve the Little Canada property abutting Maplewood. <br />Fahey was not sure this access would directly relate to <br />the road improvement. The Administrator pointed out <br />that the City can stub in utilities for the property <br />east of Arcade Street if is knows approximately where <br />the road will go. <br />It was the consensus of the Council to schedule the <br />next Budget workshop for Tuesday, November 19, 1996 at <br />7 P.M. at which time the Capital Improvements Budget <br />and salaries will be discussed. <br />5 <br />
