He presented a brief <br /> overview of significant changes from the preliminary to the proposed budget as follows: <br /> 1. The 1998 Pavement Management Program (PMP) General Funds Costs of <br /> $196,200 (preliminary figures were $192,00) are now consistent with the project <br /> scope discussed at the December 8, 1997 Council meeting. <br /> 2. Planning Consultant fees have increased $8,000 to reflect possible scope change <br /> orders on the Comprehensive Plan update project. The $8,000 grant from the <br /> Metropolitan Council to fund this activity is also reflected as a 1998 General Fund <br /> revenue source. <br /> 3, A new Debt Service Fund has been created to reflect a planned $3,050,000 bond <br /> issuance for Gateway public improvements. Earlier, it was assumed that this <br /> issuance would occur in 1997. <br /> Mr. Post noted the schedule provided to the Council for informational purposes. He indicated he <br /> would answer any questions the Council might have, due to the fact he was not present at the <br /> presentation of the preliminary budget. <br /> Mr. Post pointed out Attachment A within the Special Revenue Funds. Of the $176,275 . <br /> expenditure in the Cable TV fund, $150,000 is being used as a funding source for the City Hall <br /> facility. <br />
