515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: October 9, 1998 <br />RE: 10% Committee Funding Recommendations <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />The 10% Committee convened on Thursday, September 24 at 4:00 p.m. to view and prioritize <br />1999 expenditures. Committee members present were as follows: Bob Pedersen, Roger <br />Christensen, Shelly Boss, Jean Donovan, Ray Hanson, Don Smith, Jim Morelan, Dick Boss, <br />Greg Schroeder, and Joel Hanson. After allowing for the transfer of Park and Recreation <br />operational expenses, the available fund balance projected for the end of 1998 was <br />approximately $145,000. <br />The attached listing is the 1999 funding requests that were considered by the 10% Committee. <br />You will note that a number of items were eliminated from consideration. The first deletion was <br />the Park and Recreation operating expenses of $55,000. This was not actually deleted as it had <br />already been accounted for in determining the projected fund balance of $140,000 available for <br />allocation. A number of other items were indicated as moved to the General Capital <br />Improvement Fund. This is because of the interpretation of lawful expenditures as defined in <br />Minnesota Statutes. It was felt these items did not meet that criteria. The last item deleted was <br />the sign for the Old Fire Hall. Over $5,000 already was set aside for this purpose by Servants of <br />Mary a number of years ago and is still available. <br />The listing also included four items that were already budgeted for in the 1998 General Capital <br />Improvement Fund. Our rational for including them in the 10% fund was that they met the <br />criteria for funding. Addressing them out of the 10% fund would free up additional <br />money in the General Capital Improvement Fund for other purposes, thereby giving us more <br />flexibility. You will note that these items ranked the lowest by the 10% Committee. <br />Page 32 <br />
