REPORTS Mayor Boyle: 1) Personnel & Administrative Director Wilamosky informed him today that the city has been awarded an $80,000 grant to be used in the repair and reconstruction of the roof above the Recreation Center ice rink. We have applied for this grant for a number of years, and our persistence has finally paid off. Finance Director Burns: 1) This evening the pre-audit conference for the 1996 audit was held. Work actually began in February, and the target date is June 30. Basically, the work is on schedule and we should meet the deadline. This year there is no requirement that we formulate an official statement. 2) Regarding the two note ordinances recently passed, the note providing for the police station project will be paid out of the HoteUMotel Fund. Legislation to establish the ability for the Hotel/Motel Fund to pay the debt service for the construction of the building is on third reading tonight. The Allendale project is being funded partially from income tax money and from the $200,000 note that will be issued. If the project runs less than the $500,000 that has been provided, the money can be used either for reduction of debt or for other capital projects. 2
