CityCouncil | 2010-07-27 | 18 | majority of cities are able to contribute to park improvements from impact fees; the City is lucky to generate $10,000 to $50,000 in park impact fees; hence, the City should focus on upgrading the development impact fee study; another option would be using property sale proceeds; a Capital Improvement Discretionary Fund has been established this year which is not a recurrent revenue source; the City has an opportunity to put $2 million to $4 million into the fund; the City has an unfunded liability in terms of capital improvements for streets, curbs, and gutters in addition to the park shortfall; impact fees are not going to be substantial for the City. Vice Mayor deHaan stated parks and libraries will be severely impacted given the State's condition; the City will need to provide its own funding mechanism. The Interim City Manager stated a recurrent revenue source would have to go to taxpayers. Vice Mayor deHaan stated that he is bothered by a zero balance [for Fiscal Year 2010- 2011]. The Interim City Manager stated cities are going to be forced to finance capital improvements and do maintenance; discretionary State and federal dollars might not be available. Vice Mayor deHaan stated street funding has dropped from $3.5 million to $1 million. The Interim City Manager stated the City has to leverage opportunities to do joint venture with non-profits so that maintenance dollars can be redeployed. Vice Mayor deHaan stated things are not going to get better; that he is concerned about how the mechanism might work. Mayor Johnson inquired whether there is an update on the State budget. The Deputy City Manager - Administrative Services responded the budget is at a standstill; stated the Governor stated that he will not deal with the issue, but will let the next governor deal with the issue; no one seems to be in a hurry. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether the State deficit is at $19 billion and holding, to which the Deputy City Manager - Administrative Services responded $19 billion sounds right.
