<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - December 8, 2008 <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated that the Council was going to be looking at the <br />plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that there is no design so the funds mayor may not <br />be spent. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated that since the Council did not expend the funds <br />in 2008 these funds should be a credit in the 2009 budget. <br /> <br />Finance Director Iverson stated that if the project is not done in 2008 the funds <br />will be transferred from the general fund into the 2009 capital fund. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung asked to clarify if the $42,000 for the office expansion <br />project was new money and was not counting towards the levy amount that the <br />Council will be talking about. <br /> <br />Finance Director Iverson stated that this was correct. Most of these are reserve <br />funds that are being used for capital improvement projects. The levy has transfers <br />from the general fund into reserves but these projects are coming out of the <br />enterprise funds or other reserve fund that the City has set up. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead stated that part of these projects may also be covered by grants <br />and assessments. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung asked if Staff was asking the Council to approve the list <br />of projects or to approve the 2009 list and tentatively approve the 2009-2013 Plan. <br />He stated that at the work session Council did not have a chance to review the entire <br />list. He stated that he would not want to approve beyond 2009. <br /> <br />Finance Director Iverson stated that it was Staffs intent to have the Council <br />approve the CIP Plan from 2009-2013 so that Staff could use the working plan to do <br />additional research on requirements for future projects. She clarified that the <br />amounts beyond 2009 are not budgeted amounts and everything will come before <br />the Council for approval and this is a document that will continually change. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated that in 2012 there was a large expenditure for the <br />Lake Johanna Fire Department Fire Station and the Council has not had a chance to <br />discuss this item. He stated that the Council had moved this item to an unallocated <br />position. <br />
