COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION AUGUST 24,1999 <br />Anoka County will not be constructing any new trails in the Regional Park this year. This <br />will delay the plan to install the new trail on Mallard Lane into the Regional Park. In <br />addition, the City has been informed that the DNR grant that would have helped fund the <br />Mallard Lane trail cannot be used for that,purpose. <br />Council discussed the need to review the funding for the Mallard Lane trail. Council also <br />directed staff to prepare a timeline for the trail and let residents in that area know what is <br />happening. <br />Council Member Lyden asked that Council discuss the entire trail funding system. He is <br />interested in dedicating additional funding for trails. He also indicated that he would <br />agree to keep the tax capacity rate at the same level as last yearif the Council agreed to <br />dedicate the additional dollars to trail funding. Staff indicated that the State Legislature <br />has set the maximum amount of levy for the City and the City cannot exceed that amount. <br />Staff could shift some purchases to the Certificates of Indebtedness and place a similar <br />amount in trail funding in the budget. However, the amount of dollars affected by this <br />process would be less than $15,000. Council decided that this amount wnsignificant <br />and agreed to leave the budget as presented by staff. <br />Staff discussed a plan to reduce large ticket expenditures f it suggested <br />that when a new finance director is on board, staff pr : e .1.
