Item 4. Discuss proposed budget and project plan for FY 97-98. Mr. Humbach
advised the Board members that the City Council had adopted a resolution granting
the 4A and 4B Boards until December 15, 1997 to present an annual budget to the
Council. Neither Board will have money until at the very earliest November, but
more than likely not until 1998. He informed the Board that the 4A Board
committed approximately $87,000 to hire an executive director for the Board of
Commerce and Industry. He suggested the Board set a special meeting to receive
input from City Manager Jim Berzina concerning capital expenditure projects that
the staff and Council feel are most important. The City budget process started
August 19, and continues for three days.
The Board set their next meeting date for Wednesday, August 13 at 9:00 a.m., in
order to receive input from the City Manager concerning capital expenditure
projects relative to the Board's budget and project plan.
There being no further business, Vice-President Boone announced the meeting was
adjourned at 2:40 p.m.
