ADMINISTRATIVE NEWSLETTER PAGE THREE MAY 8, 1989 MSEY COUNTY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Ramsey Ccunty Board recently adopted their 1989-93 Capital Improvement Plan. Ric Minetor serves on the technical advisory committee to the county on their Capital Improvement Program and will be submitting a detailed report to the Council along with a copy of the Capital Improvement Program once we have received copies of the document. The future of this Capital Improvement Program, which includes the reconstruction of Long Lake Road in 1992, is being jeopardized by the tax bill currently being considered by the state legislature. As you may recall, the County received authorization from the legislature in 1988 to levy .262 million dollars in capital improvement bonds annually to fund a more aggressive Capital Improvement Program. Should the tax bill in its present form be approved, this bonding authority would be rescinded effective 1990 and would have county -wide impact on the Capital Improvement Program. As it relates to the City of Mounds View, the Long Lake Road project would be pushed back to 1993 at the earliest with county staff adivising me that 1994 or 1995 miaht be more like!y because each year is impacted by the cost of undertaking projects from the previous years and costs are rising while revenue sources are staying flat during the same period. RECEPTIONIST SELECTION The Receptionist 3eloction process is progressing smoothly with testing and interviews being conducted by the Clerical Interview Panel on Wednesday, May loth and Thursday, May llth and I will be forwarding my recommendation to the Council for your consideration at the May 27th meeting. It is my hope that the new receptionist would then be able to start work with the City no later than June 12th. FIRE DEPARTMENT CAPIT.Ah IMPROVEMENT BUDGET Ron eagerstrom previously discussed with you at his Depart- ment Head report the fact that the Fire Department is updating their Capital Improvement Budget. After many false starts for scheduling a meeting of the three cities and the Fire Department, the date of May 9ch has been agreed upon as the first meeting to begin discussions of the Capital Improvement Budget. It is my hope that this process will be able to go forward smoothly once we have started and can be considered by the Council no later than July 1 of this year. MANAGEMENT AUDIT 11 Ainterview for the Management Audit have been completed and Barb Arney and John Vinton are currently tabulating the r:•sults of the surveys. Barb indicated to me that she would be contacting me within two weeks to scheudle a meeting with the Council for you to receive their report on the Management Audit.
