TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: PATRICK KLAERS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR DATE: APRIL 9, 1993 SUBJECT: CIP WORK SESSION ON 4/13/93 13, 1993, meeting was originally to have e remaining Annual Reports pr nted the City Ho ver, due to the work involv with the relocation of City faci .ties, the two Annual ports that generate the most discussion ( lice Annual Repo and the Finance Annual Report) are not ady for pre tation to the Council at this time. Accordingly, we ill d n Annual Report that generates a lot of discussion u oing and Zoning Annual Report) and will hopefully be able some capital improvement program work. . A D.A.R.E. pres tation has added to the agenda so the Council can ss this issue before ything is made public at the Apr. 20, 1993, Chamber of mmerce meeting. Also, please not the list of staff updates at needs Council discussi As the meeting is scheduled to in at 6:00 p.m. on Tue ay, April 13, 1993, it is still anticipa d that some CIP ork can be accomplished. If the City Council believes t this is not the case, please advise me so that I can notify the City Engineer and the Finance Director. At the last CIP work session on 3/30/93, the City Council began prioritizing the 1993-97 work projects. No projects were deleted from the previously developed lists but some priorities on which projects are most important to the Council began to be established. Mayor Duitsman provided his list of high priority projects and when we began our discussion on available finances, it became clear from Council members comments which projects are high priorities. At this 4/13/93 meeting, I would like to continue to discuss available finances for the CIP with the City Council. We can briefly review the finances presented at the last meeting and, in more detail, present the remaining financing sources that are available for the CIP. A concern that must be kept in mind is how much of the available money should be spent immediately versus how much should be saved (and added to) for larger scale projects in the future. . Also, a concern that has previously been discussed is making sure a realistic project schedule is developed. We do not want to try to do three years of work in one construction season based on financial and staff time limitations. An example of this time limitation concern is all of the work that has been requested by the City Council that the City staff needs to present back to the City Council at future meetings.
