<br />" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. POPOVICH: A contingency - whatever might come in - <br />that's what we call a contingency. There's always a 15% amount <br />thrown in for contingencies. Once you arrive at all the other <br />(inaudible) you just put a blanket amount in there. <br /> <br />MR. HOLEWA: Does the City Council have any - I know it's <br />hard, it's one of the things you're here for tonight - but do <br />we have any idea about whether we have that amount of money or <br />not or if we can get it? Can you share with us anything on <br />that? When it comes to being assessed, we don't want any <br />secrets. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Yes, we have the money, if we spend it <br />on this and don't spend it on something else. <br /> <br />MR. HOLEt'i'A: Are there al:'e a few things on the pl:'iority <br />list that we might spend it on? Are there things that you had <br />in mind? <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN HICKS: I don't know exactly what projects we <br />talked about (inaudible) on Hamline Avenue. Hamline - it <br />was mentioned a while ago the possibility of improving fl:'om <br />694 north to Eide Circle. I don't remember what the cost <br />estimate was on that but it was a fair amount of money. Most <br />of that would be borne by the City - some State highway moneys <br />up to a certain portion of that distance. That's one alter- <br />native for the excess money we have. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />MR. HOLEWA: While you're on that - are there any plans <br />to add any access on or off of 694 involved with that? <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN McALLISTER: The State doesn't have any money. <br /> <br />MR. HOLEWA: So basically there's nothing forthcoming. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: It would be a minimal improvement on <br />what we have. In going up to 96 - you mentioned for Hamline - <br />would be another thing that we're looking at in long range <br />plans, plus there are several encumbrances on that - current <br />. lawsuits. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. HOLEWA: Against the village for widening Hamline? <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: No, on other projects that have gone <br />through, which is a fairly routine item (inaudible). Any <br />other questions? <br /> <br />MR. HOLEWA: Where there any other major items - there <br />was some talk about the park. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: The funds that most of us are talking <br />about are permanent improvement revolving funds, which have <br />been gained from road projects in one way or another and <br />more or less they go back into permanent projects like this. <br /> <br />-10- <br />
