DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> In light of the small attendance, Mayor Probst encouraged those at the hearing to ask questions as <br /> they have them rather than waiting for the public comments portion of the meeting. Mr. Post <br /> presented and discussed a series of eight overhead slides that dealt with the requested levy, <br /> property taxes by local jurisdiction, real property valuation historical information, general fund <br /> revenues by source, general fund expenditures by categoty, a budget narrative detailing operating <br /> and capital items and a summary comparison of general fund expenditures, revenues and levy <br /> historical information. <br /> Mr. Tom Mulcahy, 3530 Siems Court, asked how Council had determined a need to create <br /> additional capital funds beyond those currently existing. Councilmember Malone responded that <br /> there are currently no special capital reserve funds for future fire equipment needs or future <br /> general capital equipment needs. <br /> Mr. Mulcahy further inquired as to the correctness of his understanding that the funding of the <br /> various capital funds would not be used for 1995 expenditures but rather the build-up of a reserve <br /> for future large capital expenditures, Mayor Probst responded that his understanding was correct <br /> subject to the possible utilization of a portion of the facility capital funds which is dependent <br /> upon 1995 activity at TCAAP. <br /> . <br /> --------- <br />
