MSA finding can be used for this project so no General Funds <br /> will have to be used for the work. <br /> Whiting asked the Council to move to allow staff to arrange for interim management of the <br /> Community Center in order to take full advantage of all income generating activities that might be <br /> available for the building. <br /> Mayor McCarty asked if the original intent to transfer money from reserves, $14,086, was still an <br /> option to balance the budget. Kessel said it could be taken out of Reserves or an adjustment in <br /> the Contingency Fund. McCarty said if none of the options brought before the Council to this <br /> point, except the management of the Community Center, were not considered, the City's budget <br /> would be balanced. Kessel concurred if the $14,086 came from the Reserves or Contingency <br /> Fund. <br /> Mayor McCarty closed the Council meeting and opened the floor to the public for comments and <br /> questions. <br /> Dan Coughlin noted there was an increase of 733 percent in printing costs listed under the <br /> budget reports community development heading. He asked for an explanation for this large <br /> increase. Mayor McCarty said the increase was mainly due to printing costs associated with the <br /> Comprehensive Plan Update process that the City is currently involved in. McCarty noted the <br /> Met Council Grant that would offset some of the printing expenses had been accounted for in the <br /> 1998 calendar year. <br /> Mayor McCarty closed the public hearing and reopened the City Council Truth-In-Taxation <br /> Meeting. <br /> Straw Poll on "The Options" <br /> To direct staff to prepare a Resolution approving the salary adjustments in excess of 3 percent. <br /> Ayes - 4 Nays 1(Stigney) <br /> To direct staff to prepare a Resolution contracting for building inspections starting April I, 1999. <br /> Whiting said there would have to be some transition time allowed for because of personnel and <br /> the method in which building permits and inspections are done.
