place. Finally, there were unforeseen difficulties in matching a new building <br />to an existing (metal) facility. <br /> <br />The source of funds for the $50,000 city contribution to the project was 50 <br />percent from the Equipment reserves and 50 percent from the Capital <br />Projects reserve. The construction overrun is suggested to be split and <br />covered from the same reserve funds. <br /> <br />Two additional ice arena items need to be reviewed. These items are the <br />public address (PA) system and security (a key system for the doors). The <br />PA system is about $10,000 and it is not likely that we will get any school <br />contribution for this equipment. The security system being discussed is <br />somewhere between $4,000 and $12,000. Neither expenditure is in the <br />construction or operating budget, but both are necessary. Again the <br />Equipment reserves and Capital Project reserves are available for these <br /> <br />expenses. <br /> <br />The operation budget has no capital outlay category and one item that needs <br />discussion is a new (additional) Zamboni machine. A new propane machine <br />is about $60,000. The Ice Arena Commission is looking for information on <br />lease/purchase options. <br /> <br />Attached for your review is the DRAFT CIP Plan and the finances to <br />implement this plan. In using these two documents you need to cross <br />reference them to more clearly understand how projects are funded and how <br />the expenditure relates to the overall CIP finances. For example, identify a <br />specific 1997 project, then note the local financial contribution and its source, <br />and then identify this amount of money in the appropriate CIP Finances <br />page. Note that this draft plan is only offered to the City Council for <br />discussion and staff awaits direction from the Council on appropriate <br />changes. Nonetheless, some issues related to the draft CIP need to be <br />highlighted. <br /> <br />Please note the timing of the Tyler Street connection between <br />County Road 12 and 171st Avenue. It is proposed that this <br />project - the purchase of right-of-way and the construction of the <br />street - be programmed for the years 2000 and 2001. If the <br />timing of this project is to change, then this would impact the <br />planned use of MSA funds for Business Center Drive west of the <br />Government Center and Waco Street and the pedestrian bridge <br />over Highway 169. MSA money is the only known source of <br />funding for these projects and based on previous commitments <br /> <br /> <br />
