Memo from Jerry Dulgar regarding resignation. Memo attached. ACTION: Council B. Mr. Robert Pulscher of Springsted Incorporated Municipal Consultants regarding review of our long term debt report as prepared by Jim Fornell. Letter Attached. I want to comment on each of Mr. Pulscher' s recommendations . (1) We are proceeding to collect the dropped or deferred assessments (2) I agree that internal financing should only be short term, however, I would recommend that the City wait by either internally financing or selling short term bonds until we are in a position to sell $500,000 or more in long term bonds . This will cut administrative costs and headaches. (3) Mr. Pulscher's last point I question somewhat. I feel we should use at least $100,000 to $150,000 to rebuild our general fund reserve. Granted some of the money was paid by people now living here but, much was paid by people who have left also and I don't see this changing much, so when the Council decides to spend the money will have little effect. Regarding the capital improvements in Central Park, I differ with Mr. Pulscher' s earlier comments that we haven' t done any- thing there. In the last six years we have added a new • warming house, replaced the hockey rink, added 2 tennis courts, with more currently being approved and awaiting construction, we have resurfaced all the other tennis courts, we have added a teen center, a senior citizens center is planned, we have added additional horseshoe pits, we have added considerable plantings, much of which have been destroyed by vandals, we added a small shelter which was destroyed by vandals and paths are planned. The school district has added a patio to the year around swimming pool. I suppose there could be some frills like lighting, added but I don't know what you add to a small area like this that has, 1 soccer field, 1 football field, 4 ball diamonds, 1 free skating area, 1 hockey rink, 1 teen center, horseshoe pits, 6 tennis courts with 2 more on the way, swimming pool with patio, gym, planting, nursery, wading pool, track and basketball court. Moreover, many of the frills that could be added I feel w auld be destroyed in short order by vandals while the other user stands by and watches. C. Association of Metropolitan Municipalities - memo and dues statement. ACTION: Recommend we approve dues. D. Letter from Mrs . Jean Wagner regarding damages done to her house on 29th Avenue N.E. I have forwarded the letter to our • Attorney and Insurance Company. (2) • ACTION: File E. Letter from Board of Ramsey County Commissioners regarding various governmental boards and advisory committees in Ramsey. Informational. F. Letter from Mrs. R. E. Pettijohn regarding parking spaces for handicapped people in shopping centers. Letter attached.
