July 12, 1976 Page 11 <br />CHAPTER 92, DISEASED TREES <br />This is a proposed revision of Chapter 92, Diseased Trees, bringing <br />the ordinance into conformity with State Statutes. <br />Councilman Shelquist stated that the revision of the ordinance does <br />not state when you have to have the tree down; Atty Meyers replied <br />that he assumed the notice will contain the date it would have to be <br />down. The state requires they must be removed in 20 days. <br />Councilman Shelquist wanted to know if it would be appropriate to say <br />not less than 5 days but not more than 20 days. <br />The administrator stated that it possibly does not have to be passed <br />this evening and <br />Acting Mayor Hodges recommended tabling the matter temporarily. <br />LAWCON GRANT APPLICATION <br />The administrator explained that this grant application is for $100,000 <br />in state and federal funds to acquire 19 additional acres for Silver <br />View Park. The action that the Council has to take is to approve <br />the application and approve the city's source for matching. We would <br />have to have a higher priority ie "community park" to get any funds. <br />It might be possible to use up to 15 acres of the site for storm <br />water retention. The city's matching share could be from 0 to $50,000. <br />The federal funding has to be matched but the state money does not. <br />He recommends that the Council not specify any amount. <br />Councilman Pickar: Under the circumstances it is a good idea. <br />Councilman Shelquist: Good idea, particularly with the storm water. <br />Councilman Baumgartner: Approve the concept of the LAWCON Grant. <br />MSP (Baumgartner - Shelquist) to approve the concept of the LAWCON Grant <br />Application for $100,000 in state and federal funds and that the City <br />designates its source of funding as General Revenue Sharing, park and <br />playground fund and other sources. <br />4 ayes <br />1976 BUDGET REVISION <br />The administrator stated that the projected General Fund revenues and <br />expenditures indicate a better financial position than we originally <br />anticipated when the budget was prepared. On the basis of that the <br />staff reviewed the immediate problems and suggested the attached <br />expenditures. <br />Councilman Baumgartner stated that in Greenfield Park a water line should <br />go in also. <br />Councilman Shelquist inquired as to what was going to be done with the <br />solid grill in,the police wing. He would like to have Item 7 deleted <br />until a reasonable use can be found for the grill. <br />
