Resolution 77-051 - A Resolution Relating to Deferment of Special Assessments for Persons 65 Years of Age or Older and Establishing an Interest Rate. This resolution has been pre- pared based upon the Council ' s directives of October 11th. ACTION: Review, and if Satisfactory, Approve. • B. Resolution 77-052 - A Resolution Modifying the 1977 Budget. This resolution transfers addition receipts (reimbursements) from Ramsey County for the C.E.T.A. program to increase the appropria- tion (for C.E.T.A. wages and benefits) to the wage and salaries disbursement accounts. Under the 1978 budget, the necessity of making these transfers will be eliminated because the City will set up a self sustaining, separate fund for the C.E.T.A. program, consistent with Federal regulations . ACTION: Recommend Approval. C. Resolution 77-053 - A Resolution Adopting the 1978 City Budget. This resolution officially adopts the 1978 operating budget, persuant to the budget discussions. Resolution 77-049 certified the tax levy but didn' t adopt the budget. If approved, we will prepare working copies of the budget. You have modified budgets in your packets. ACTION: Recommend Approval. D. Resolution 77-054 - A Resolution Approving the Sale of Plat 63680, Parcel 3300 . It should be noted that, under the present zoning ordinance, this lot is unbuildable unless a variance is granted. ACTION: Recommend Approval . t 1 • 7. Old Business A. Park Improvements . A letter from Julie Bjorklund, Chairman of the Community Services Advisory Council is enclosed. The Manager will have the shelter structure plans drawn by Construc- tive Design, Inc. I believe that one tennis court will cost about $15, 000 - $17, 000 , but there would be funds available for other purposes. In a memo to the Community Services Advisory Council, I estimated pathway lighting costs at $7. 00 per month per light plus the capital cost of running in electrical service. The Council has been considering assessing the operating cost of street lighting (this could be included) , especially if we completed our lighting program. It may be advisable to have the residents next to the shelter structure review the design. ACTION: Review Structure Design and Letter from the Community Services Advisory Council. B. Activated Railroad Crossing Warning Device - Stinson Boulevard. Enclosed is a report by Police Chief Hickerson who points out a couple problems. Also attached is a status report on M.S.A. funds which are available and can be used for our share of the cost - estimated at about $5, 000. 00 . The Manager does not have any strong reaction either way to the proposal. ACTION: Review and Decide on Participation. • 8. New Business A. Memo from Police Chief Hickerson regarding the egg fight.
