MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />NOVEMBER 25, 1998 <br />Scalze pointed out the process that the City has put in place to plan for the <br />debt levy reduction, and felt that the Council should wait until it has a <br />recommendation from the Committee before allocating any of these funds <br />Scatze felt that ali the options for this levy reduction should be looked at <br />before any decisions are made. <br />Fahey asked about funding of Capital Improvement items for 1999. The <br />City Administrator replied that the budget works for 1999. The issue will <br />be the need for a future source of revenue for the CIP Budget. <br />It was the consensus of the Council that the monies needed to balance the <br />1999 Budget should come from the 1998 General Fund surplus. The <br />Administrator pointed out that the surplus is anticipated at $57,388. <br />However, that amount could change. The anticipated amount needed to <br />balance the budget is $69,250. The Council's consensus was that any <br />additional dollars needed over the General Fund surplus should come from <br />the future debt levy reduction. <br />The Administrator reviewed changed made to the General Capital <br />Improvement Fund as well as the Infrastructure Replacement Fund.. <br />Scalze asked about the ballfield lighting programmed in the year 2000 in <br />the General Capital Improvement Budget. The Administrator replied that <br />this expense anticipates the (ighting of three ballfields and once soccer <br />field. $50,000 in funding would come from the 10% Fund for lighting the <br />fourth ballfield. The $192,000 expense estimate is just an estimate at this <br />point. As was discussed previously, it is hoped there will be come <br />economies of scale in lighting these fields at one time rather than <br />spreading the project out over a couple of years. <br />Council reviewed the recommended 1999 Parks & Recreation pro~ram <br />fees, and it was noted that the Parks & Recreation Commission will <br />review these fees at this meeting next week. <br />There bein~ no further business, the workshop was adjourned at 6:35 P.M. <br />Mic ael I.
