V. New Business
a. The Finance Commission has been asked to look at and develop alternatives for
funding capital projects. Flooding and streets are the two highest priorities. A
funding source for approximately $10 million in flood public improvements is
needed.
While this discussion was very general it was mentioned that a first step would be to
reallocate certain fees so there is a closer relationship of the fee to where it is spent.
For example, the vehicle sticker fee should be used to maintain and improve roads.
Finance Director Erb was asked to prepare multiple funding scenarios so the
Commission has a better idea of what might be done and the funds that can be
expected. The funding options will be discussed at the next meeting.
