MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />DECEMBER 16, 1993 <br />10% <br />CAPITAL <br />IMPROVEMENT <br />LISTING <br />The City Administrator presented a proposed 10% Capital <br />Improvement listing. <br />Scalze asked why the cost of the City survey was not on <br />the 10% Capital Improvement listing, since this would <br />save the tax payers money and was a one -time <br />expenditure. Scalze felt this would make more sense <br />given the parameters of the use of the 10% monies. <br />The City Administrator replied that this is an option. <br />However, the reason that the City survey is included on <br />the General Capital Improvement listing is the ranking <br />that the survey received at the goal- setting session. <br />Scalze felt that the 10% monies should be used for <br />things the City would not levy for, things that would <br />enhance City services but would not be done if it were <br />not for this windfall. Scalze agreed that the survey <br />received top ranking at the goal- setting session, and <br />that the survey should be done regardless of whether it <br />was paid for from 10% monies or general capital <br />improvement funds. Scalze felt that the 10% monies <br />should be used to relieve tax -payer burden, otherwise <br />the use of that money is out -of -line with what the <br />Legislature has said can be done with it. <br />Pedersen did not believe the City was planning for the <br />frivolous expenditure of the 10% monies. <br />Scalze pointed out that the money has been referred to <br />as "mad money ". <br />Pedersen pointed out that one Council Member has made <br />that comment, and that the entire Council has not made <br />any decisions on the expenditure of these funds. <br />Scalze pointed out that the City Hall sign included on <br />the 10% list may also be out of the realm of what the <br />City wanted to do with these funds. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that the capital <br />improvement committee is recommending the four capital <br />improvement items listed on page 76 of the agenda for <br />1994. These items total $30,400. <br />Morelan asked how payment for these items would work. <br />The Administrator replied that with regard to the Fire <br />Page 40A <br />
