That means we do not have the ability to do ~ese projects unless we borrow the money or bond for it. With reggr, d to the 1994 Capital Outlay ranking, Ms. Hart felt comfortable leaving the ranking ~ is. She noted the items that were voluntarily eliminated. Mr. Sehroeder stated that all the architectural fees were placed in the budget for the Public Works, Police and Fire Departments. As an alternative, we are asking that architecture be done next year and to be billed in 1996. The amounts for the Public Works and Police Department are quite significant. The Fire Department is a step or two behind in the process,: they are looking at a bay expansion and a satellite. They will probably end up with two facilities no earlier than 1999. The Police Department and the Public Works Department project that over a 20 year amortization is about $126,000 payment per annum. We also have $126,000 levy from general fund for the construction fund. It the City is able to levy, both buildings can be built. The intent of this section is to forecast out what capital 0u~iay purchases will be over the next 10 years. We cannot buy any equipment if we do n0~. have the room to store it. There is already $70,000 allocated for another tanker for the Fke Department and this year they have requested another $28,000 worth of equipmont for it (this amount is on the high end). Since 1989, City Council has spent $261,000 :on average on vehicles, furniture and equipment. He stated there will be no vehicle replacements in 1994. He added that he has tried to keep costs down or put things off becauSe of the new facilities requested. Finance Officer Hart stated that the vehicle utilization report is included for informational purposes. A brief discussion took place regarding the mechanic that had been requested in previous years by 'Public Works Supervisor Mevissen. 4) Review Preliminary Revenue and Other Sources (Uses) Projections for 1994 Finance Officer Hart stated the 1994 projected revenues show actual taxes, forfeited tax sales, ete~ Fiscal disparities and mobile home tax figures are not available. The license and permits are based on year-to-date actuals. She stated the building permits are big revenue items for the Building Department. Plumbing permits are estimated using eight fixtures per unit. The Local Government Aid is not the increase it looks like. The MSA numbers are based on th_e City Engineer's projections. She stated the figures used for insurance in 1992 were used again. She noted that a lot of the projections are based on past year actuals. The amount listed for assessment searches could actually double. With regard to general government, the staff time is projected at about the same. She based the Public Works time on past years and tried to be conservative in her estimate. She stated some projects will be quite time consuming and added that the City has to have a MUSA expansion. The figure for other Public Works has doubled. The number for court fines remains conservative. Invested elu'nings is based on what the City has thus far. With regard to miscellaneous revenue, at least four people will file for Council which will bring in $20. She used prior year's reimbursements to get numbers for "other". Ms. Hart also summarized the 1994 Other General Fund Financing Sources (Used). $14,220 from the landfill tipping fee would go to pay the Environmental Specialist. $683,000 would go into the Equipment Replacem0nt Fund. The net use of additional funds is $545,983. There will also be a small tranffer in from the Equipment Replacement Fund. Ms. Hart stated that in the past, there has been discussion of a franchise fee which would be a good source of revenue. 5) Review cost Centers Contained in General Government Funds Finance Officer Hart reviewed the cost centers.
