Council Minutes of 2/15/83 _4_ A general discussion regarding the operation of the Recreation Comglex ensued. Mr. Woerpel asked if the $159,000 from the tax levy was earmarked for any special program. Mr. McKay advised that the only stipulation was that 10% of the money had to be put into capital improvements. Mr. Logan stated th#t a quick glance at the proposed budget for the Complex seemed to indicate that the figures were less than realistic. He asked Mr. McKay for an estimate of the minimal Council transfer which would be needed; Mr. McKay stated that Council is 2ooking at close to $50,000 again this year. Mr. Logan stated that it would make sense to include the $5,000 needed for the energy study at the outset since the Comglex uses roughly a quarter million dollars of energy and urged that a private entity conduct an energy $udit of the Complex. Mrs. Petrigac asked that a apecial meeting with the Recreation Committee of Council be scheduled to discuss the Reereation Complex. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Comsnittee as well as Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met on Februa.ry 14th with Mayor, Service Director, Safety Director, Finance Director, President of Council and Councilwoman Saringer in attendance. Comnittee digcussed Ordinance No. 83-7, advertising for bids for 50,000 gallons of sodium aluminate for use at the Treatment Plant and has no ob.j ection. 2) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 83-8, cancellation of special assessments on certain parcels in the City; special assessments have been paid and Coata?ittee has no ob3ection. 3) Also discussed was Ordinance No. 83-10, the issuance of notes for the purchase of cars for the Police Department. It was Committee's intention to include other vehicle purchases with the police cars, basically to save on costs incurred from advertising for the notes, printing the nabes and the over-all sale of the notes. Based on Mr. Fetre`s discussion with the bidder, the cars which are available in the best and lowest bid haue a deadline of Ma.rch lst for ordering, therefore Mr. Wilamosky will be asking for suspension of rule requiring three resdings and Committee recommends approval of Ordinance No. 83-10 which only covers the police cars. 4) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 83-11, advertising for 1,400 gallons of highway paint. Committee has no objection. 5) Discussed, very briefly, the Ma.yor's recommendations with respect to salary line items; Committee is awaiting the Mayor's recommendations with respect to appropriations. 6) Also discussed was Ordinance No. 83-21 which provides for the salary of Council At-Large Members for the term beginning January 1, 1984, through December 31, 1987. This ordinance is on first reading tonight for Council's consideration. 7) Requested that Oralinance No. 82-98 be placed on the agenda for the next regular Council Meeting. Said legislation is no longer needed since it hsts been super- ceded by other legislation covering the notes for the Administration Complex. 8) A Community Improvement Committee rneeting was held on February 8th with Mr. Kuhn from McDonald and Company in attendance. Mr. Kuhn addressed the membership with respect to the new regulations regarding industrial revenue bonds. The new regula- tions have not yet been published in the Federal Register and the IRS is currently setting up specific guidelines. The new regulations provide for more conm4unity in- put. CIC will accept applications; FCIC recommends positively to Couneil; Council will call a Public Hearing in addition to Council hearings; following Public Aearing, 41 Council will submit a report to the Mayor; after review of the report, the Mayor can stop it right then and there since the Mayor has to introduce legislatinn - Council cannot.
