U NA p p 01.1 11 <br /> ITEM 9E V E <br /> + <br /> Consideration of the catering services at the Community Center,both the food service and the liquor <br /> service,to be taken off the agenda be brought before us at the next available work session and then <br /> for future consideration at another time at a Council meeting. <br /> ITEM 9F <br /> Consider authorizing the purchase of additional equipment for Community Center with TIF funds. <br /> Mr. Long stated was presented with a list of the proposed items in question of whether TIF funds <br /> could be used to purchase these. Mr. Long stated the answer is yes. These would be considered to <br /> be essentially the fixtures and furnishings part of a capitol hallway. There is also some language in <br /> the statute that allows for operating expenses out of TIF. <br /> Mr. Long stated the question specifically asked was a list of items. If there are other items that <br /> would be related to either what we would consider to be fixtures or furnishings, this would not be <br /> a problem for using TIF for those purposes. <br /> Ms. Julie Olson stated for clarification,the last figure that the finance director stated this additional <br /> equipment would not be above and beyond that last figure of 6.2. Everything else that we wanted, <br /> the 6.24. <br /> Mr. Whiting stated the bid award was 6.2 million. $200, 000 is still needed to complete the <br /> purchasing of the materials. <br /> Mr. Stigney had a question for the City Attorney, he brought up the possibility of others using the <br /> TIF funds for operational expenses. Mr. Stigney wonders if this is going to be talked about this <br /> evening or a future time. <br /> Mr. Long stated he only referenced that, because he told Mr. Whiting-today, in researching this <br /> question, and getting statutes about the use of TIF for Community Centers,there actually is some <br /> broad long in the statutes about use of TIF funds for operating a project. This would be considered <br /> a project of the City and so is actually fairly flexible in terms of those funds, which actually <br /> surprised me,because I have never had to go back and look at that. You can actually use it for more <br /> than this. Mr. Long does not suggest you do that, but Mr. Long wishes the Council to have that <br /> information. <br /> Mr. Stigney asks if this could be brought forth to us so we know what we are dealing with as far as <br /> operational possible usage. <br /> Motion/Second: Stigney/Thomason. To approve authorizing the purchase of additional equipment <br /> for the Community Center with TIF funds requested by the Parks and Recreation Commission. <br /> C:\ADMIN\MINUTES\CC\2-22-99.CC13 <br />
