Street and Third Avenue East between Burlington Northern Railroad
and Montana Street. June of 1993, Council approved the final plat
of the Market Place 1st Phase, which created 3 lots as opposed to
the preliminary plat approval of 5 lots. The applicant wished to

Adopt Fiscal 95 Preliminary Budget
Council is required by State law to approve a preliminary budget on
or before July 25th of each year. For the purpose of meeting State
budget requirements Williams recommended Council adopt a
preliminary budget for FY 95 in the amount of $16,124,458. This
amount is higher than the amount in the budget document as Williams
added the $271,000 construction loan for the Courtyard Apartments,
$10,714 for the Local Government Study Commission and $4,739
additional funding for FRDO. The Budget Hearing for August 1st
needs to be scheduled.
Larson moved to adopt the FY 95 Preliminary Budget in the amount of'
$16,124.458. The motion was seconded.
Haarr felt that this is not where the final budget is going to end
up and hoped there would be some cuts before the process is over.
By supporting the motion, he is just following the intent of the
law and that looking through the budget document, he felt the
figure was high for this year.
The motion carried with a vote.
