CityCouncil | 2009-12-01 | 9 | ability to reduce juvenile crime rates; the project would continue the good precedent of partnering with non-profit organizations Councilmember Matarrese stated the project is very worthy; the City has programmed over $363,000 to the Boys & Girls Club; Council needs to move in the direction of utilizing discretionary funds for public-private partnerships; Measure WW money is no more discretionary than Measure O money; both measures are voter driven mandates; that he will vote no because voter mandated funds are not discretionary. Vice Mayor deHaan stated that he has concerns with the loan [being approved by EBRPD] the City should identify the projects that be completed using returned loan money up front. Councilmember Matarrese stated the City should have successful applications regardless of what happens with the Boys & Girls Club application; the City does not have the luxury of waiting six years to spend the money favorable construction costs have a small window. The Interim City Manager stated the initial list needs to be revisited in terms of maintenance versus capital projects. Councilmember Matarrese stated the process needs to be quick because of the current, favorable construction costs. Councilmember Tam stated the entity has to front the money and then get reimbursed through the funding; the appeal of the Boys & Girls Club is that funding would be available to start payments now; the City does not have capital funds to pay up front. The Interim City Manager stated the matter is a cash flow issue. Councilmember Matarrese noted substantial money was saved on the Wilver "Willie" Stargell project.
