Mr. Humbach informed the Board that the bylaws would be submitted to the City
Council for approval at its next regularly scheduled meeting of July 1.
Discussion then centered around the submission of the Corporation's budget, which,
according to the bylaws, is due to be presented to the City Council by July 30. The
Corporation will not have money in its budget by July 30, 1997. Mayor Yeager
suggested that Mr. Humbach prepare resolutions requesting a postponement of
presentment of the budgets for the 4A and 4B Sales Tax Corporations to the Council
until a time not specified, but prior to January 1. These resolutions will be
presented to the Council at its July 15 meeting.
Jim Berzina stated that City staff is hard at work preparing a list of capital
improvement items for the Council. He feels this list will be beneficial to the
Corporation so that it does not have to conduct research independently, but can use
the staffs list of projects to complement their own plan. He estimates the staff will
have the plan available within 4-6 weeks. The library project, which he feels certain
the staff and Council felt would be funded with 4B sales tax revenue, needs to be
discussed by the early part of August at the latest.
The Board tentatively set August 5, 1997 at 2:00 p.m. as its next scheduled meeting
date and time. The Board at this meeting will draw lots for terms of office, elect
officers (President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer), approve the minutes of
this June 24 meeting, and put together a proposed plan for next fiscal year.
The meeting adjourned at 2:10 p.m. -
Linda Merrill, Recording Secretary
