Discussion:
1.? Budget - Adjustments - State Stature allows adjustments to be made
as long as t�ey are made with a budget person. Adjustments have to
be made if revenue drops. Prochaska suggest an alternative column.
The alternative column would be for items that may be requested, if
there is extra money. Department heads would have to think ahead.
If an item is needed but not on the list then it should be an
emergency. Some thought would be required at the beginning of the
year. Finance Ex Maintenance of Computers budgeted
amount was $ 1500 for this year, City has already spent $2803.
Trying to compare now, Prochaska would like to see original budget,
revised budget and percentages against both budgets. Need to start
reviewing budget from revised budget. Could put budget and revised
budget with percentages for both. Looking at an increase at five
percent of two. Percentage is really a guide line. Mayor Johnson had
indicated the he will be more involved with the budget process.
Buildings really kind of get thrown into other areas. Buildings still
need to be maintained and repaired. Need to have a set way for
doing building repairs. Prochaska would like to put line items under
Municipal buildings with a line item under each. Every building is
ggoing to need repairs. Spang thinks that the Department Head should
6e responsible for the line item in that Department Budget.
Scheffrrahn thinks that everything has a life span and the City should
be able to put money aside for these things until it is needed. A City
building may house several different Departments. Spang suggest
setting up a line item that each Department contributes to, then when
a repair needs to be made then draw on the line item. City also
receives Development fees. $pang suggest City should have a good
revenue stream into this Building Maintenance Fund, The Building
Maintenance Fund will still need to get money from other piaces.
This fund would be for above and beyond daily items. Budding
Maintenance Fund would be for Capital Expenditures such as a roof,
carpet, parking lots, sidewalks, painting, etc. Currently the money
comes from the General Fund, Daily maintenance will still come from
the Department. Beecher is a Recreation Building, City can probably
use some Land Cash and Development Fees, Budding reserve fund -
Spang said the money is left over from Game Farm and will be used
for the old Court House. In agreement that City should add line items
for Buildings. When the Radium issue came up all these little line
_ items were made but then forgotten about. Walnut Street property
will be listed with Rich Conte - Remax. Property will be listed with

exclusions. Sewer Fund - City will setting up two funds. A Water
Fund and an Expansion /Improvement Fund. City will take all Capital
Expenditures. Need to identify what they are. The State will not loan
money unless there us a dedicated revenue source of money.
Nanninga would be comfortable with a two year cushion. Roppolo
will build 177 units. There will be approximately $263,000 in fund
once those units are built. There is still Inland and Doc Davis
pproperty. Roppolo will not be entitled to get his money back.
Roppolo will have to front fund money or wait until the line is there.
A RRecapture agreement is usually 20 y ears. What would happen if in
20 years line is not installed? Could Roppolo get his money back?
Could he have the lots rezoned to Estate Lots and put in well and
septic? Need to find out from Clan. Roppolo would also collect
interest on the recapture money. Nanninga is projecting 150 building
permits. Spang is a little concerned with that amount. Nanninga said
the City really only needs 75 permits. The first 75 permits a
towards the debt service. Po ice cars cannot be on list of Capital
Expenditures that can be deferred. Prochaska and Spang think City
needs to be careful with encumbered funds. The State will look at
that also. Only borrowing money from ourselves. Prochaska thinks
that some items can be deferred such as new hires, new traffic
signals. Prochaska would like to show Municipal Utility Tax to repay
money. Utility Tax is approximately $450,000 Scheffrahn thinks
that money should be spend on Capital Expenditures. The State
would like to see a revenue source. South Sewer - The Black Pot -
Central Sewer Line. This will be a separate fund. There would be a
transfer from Sanitary Sewer. Sanitary Sewer owns part of Hydraulic.
But YBSD is asking City to take over the Inte-rceptor that is there.
Prochaska is concerned that in the future another study will be done
only to find out that this new line was not needed. Soang thinks
there should be some type of written agreement with time lines.
Recommend to Mayor Johnson - Building Maintenance Fund - Line
items for Maintenance and Capital Expenditures. Will need to do an
Ordinance for this. Water Improvement and Expansion Fund and
Sewer Improvement Fund. Fund to use revenue from sewer hook on
fees and amount from Utility Tax on amount to meet Debt Service.
Can the City encumber funds from tap on fees? Increase funds to
repair expand and rehabilitate sewer. Ordinance will say repair and
expand, but it will come back to the City. Each group should make
recommendations as Committees. Prochaska suggest doing this
before Mayor Johnson does the budget. Lynch tal ked with the
Chamber of Commerce. In March of 96 $2000 had been budgeted by
the Chamber to give to the City. Lynch would like to spend this on
the Homepage. Money is suppose to be spend on Marketing. Spang
thought that money was suppose to be spent on video tapes.
Chamber was going to donate money from the Jeep raffle but the
raffle did not happen. Prochaska would like to check the minutes.
City needs to start putting money aside for the sewer. Then the
money can be released back. Need to be able to show the State that
City can do this.
