The 1994 Recreation Department appropriations were discussed. Additional funding of approximately 580,000 was granted based on the anticipated carryover from 1993. The Recreation Department projects a 6% revenue increase for 1994. Council is precluded by law from appropriating more than what was mated on the amended certificate which was filed with the County Auditor. If the revenue increase does occur, the Recreation Department can request that Council appropriate this increased revenue for recreation use. The committee decided to discuss the Recreation Commission'sfive-year capital spending program at a later date. Because a large number of Alexander Road residents were in attendance to discuss street repair, President Boehmer asked Service Director Bohhnann to address the residents on this topic. Mr. Bohlmann said he believes that, if any street should be repaired in 1994, it should be Alexander Road. However, there are some very valid reasons why the street cannot be done this year. The city has an agreement with the county to install new box culverts on Clague Road. The county is currently trying to obtain temporary easements on several properties before this work can begin. This project will impact Alexander Road. A drainage ditch which currently goes underneath Alexander Road, travels halfway toward Clague Road in a westerly direction, proceeds north across Greenwood Circle and Stoneybrook and then turns west and ties into box culverts will be extended all the way down Clague Road. This will remove some potential flooding problems on Stoneybrook 4 ;tea , .~..:,.~„ . m-,- »:~,,
