MINUTES/FINANCE COMMITTEE
Monday, December 21, 1998 - 6:15 p.m.

Members present: Babinchak, Brooks, Carpenter, Hamerlik.

1. Matter of southend fire station funding.
Hamerlik stated that he didn’t think that CDBG money should be used for the southend fire station, that this has been on the books before the flood, however, there were monies in the fund for the southend fire station that were used for other flood projects (northend fire station, etc.) and that it would see appropriate that we replenish those funds ($500,000) to the southend fire station and that the balance (est. cost is $800,000) or $300,000 be taken from other sources, and moved to take the $300,000 from other sources; the motion died for lack of a second.

There was some discussion as to the status of the current southend fire station on 17th Avenue South, whether retained by the City or sold and get property back on the tax rolls.

It was moved by Council Member Carpenter and seconded by Council Member Babinchak that we allocate $800,000 from the unallocated CDBG infrastructure monies for this project. Motion carried; Hamerlik voted against the motion.

Meeting adjourned.
