CityCouncil | 2010-07-27 | 24 | property which generated approximately $200,000; at the time, her recommendation was to put the money into a facility maintenance reserve; the policy is to take one-time property sale revenues and put the money into an open space fund; a small amount was used to pay for the final purchase of the Beltline property; the question is what to do with the money when the City decides to liquidate property. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Tam inquired whether the $400,000 [set aside for a fire station] is in the General Fund. The Interim City Manager/Executive Director responded the $400,000 is in a reserve fund in the General Fund and is not included in the $12 million General Fund balance. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Gilmore stated the City is paying a lot of rent to house fire fighters next to a fire station that is not earthquake safe; a lot of money would be needed for expensive repairs in order to use the fire station; the City could spend money on something that could be constructed and City owned instead of putting money into something that the City does not own and would not use long term; that she is trying the nudge the process along. The Interim City Manager/Executive Director stated site location is not easy, especially because location impacts response time. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Gilmore stated a letter has been received from SunCal regarding a development program; there have been disagreements on how things have been charged; that she assumes staff would come back with explanations when discrepancies are reconciled.
