~:*y of · lver MEMORANDUM Item #4. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor & City Council Pat Klaers, City Adminis~trator January 26, 1998 Capital Improvement Program The agenda for the January 26, 1998, City Council meeting has been reserved for a City Council Capital Improvement Program (CIP) review and discussion. Please come prepared for a good three hour discussion on a variety of current and future projects. We will begin the evening with a relatively brief and straightforward request from the police department to purchase a truck which will serve as a replacement vehicle for the CSO used Explorer. Funds for a new CSO vehicle are in the 1998 equipment certificate budget. The request from the police department is to move away from a utility vehicle and purchase a truck as the department believes this vehicle will be more versatile and meet more of the department needs. Please use the attached memo from Tom on this request. Following this relatively brief police issue, the next agenda item for the CIP meeting is a rather lengthy review from me on the east Elk River project. I think that we can expect this discussion to take approximately 45 minutes. The purpose of this discussion is to continue where we left off on 1/5/98 and to make sure everyone clearly understands the direction the Council gave the staff at the end of the 1/5/98 CIP meeting. Additionally, I need to have some time with the Council to slowly walk through the financial ramifications of the large Area C project. I know that with an Area C project we will not end up in a Cambridge situation, but the Council must understand that it is a matter of priorities for how you want to spend available funds. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
