03. Public HearingsAgenda -December 15,1997 AGENDA ITEM 3 - PUBLIC HEARINGS BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: As previously discussed, we received verification of receipt of a $400,000 HOME Grant for additional improvements to the Samaritan House. This hearing and amendment to the budget is required to allocate those funds. B. BUDGET AMENDMENT HEARING-FEMA GRANT BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: As previously discussed, we received a verification (and the check from FEM[A) of reimbursement of flood damage 1 expenditures ($43,510). This hearing and amendment to the budget is required to allocate those funds. C. BUDGET AMENDMENT HEARING -CLARIFICATION OF TOTAL BUDGET BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: I have enclosed a list of potential expenditures that have either been budgeted in this year's budget or are currently identified in the Capital Improvement Plan. This does not include all of the needed expenditures within the TIF area. As an example, extensive Storm Sewer Improvements are not considered in this list. The basic question seems to be: Can we use $2.5 million for other expenditures? My answer is an unqualified yes - but the priorities and goals of the City were set by the t Agenda -December 15, 1997 Council and Central School Museum was one of the top priorities. The City needs far outweigh the funds available from our budget, TIF funds, or any other sources. The staff, not because we like to spend money, but because of the major needs of this City, can fill the expenditures for TIF funds for many years. (The Mayor -Elect had requested this information. As per our policy, I am including the information for everyone.)
