I <br /> Terry Post, City Accountant, stated that funding for City participation in these County projects <br /> may require both a component from the Assessment Policy of the City, and from the use of fixed I <br /> MSA Construction Funds. Mr. Post stated in the past, MSA Construction Funds have been used <br /> mainly for internal PMP projects, but now the use of these funds will also have to compete with <br /> participation in County projects, I <br /> Mayor Probst asked ifMSA funds could be used on County projects, Mr. Post stated they can. <br /> Mayor Probst asked if the Federal Government could be assessed and Mr. Post stated he does not I <br /> believe so. <br /> Councilmember Malone stated this is an example of "delayed pain" based on a decision of the .. <br /> State with the burden falling on the cities. <br /> I <br />
