LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING
City Manager Starbird stated that the purpose of this
meeting was to seek direction from Council as to what
direction they wanted staff to go in relation to the
Presentation revenue ideas presented at the last study session. He
and discussion noted the staff report contained several forms to ease
Council in making the determinations.
Councilmember Herfert restated questions posed at the
last meeting: 1) What would be the cost of potential
litigation if BKK doesn't close in 1995, and 2) what
would be the monetary effect to the property values
of the adjacent ,homes when BKK does close.
City Manager Starbird responded that staff has
asked the City Attorney for information regarding the
first question and it has not yet been received. Staff
is in the process of gathering information in response
to the second question, but there is not enough
definitive information available yet for a staff report.
Council then discussed the issues and ideas presented
in the staff report one by one, giving tentative
approval to proceed with further investigation on the
feasibility of several of the ideas. There was concern
for the potential increase in liability with some of
the ideas. Also, Council was not desirous of competing
with local businesses regarding some of the suggested
programs. Council did feel that the unrestricted
reserves should be used as little as possible and only
when necessary. They supported exchanging Prop "A"
funds for general fund monies. Other ideas were
mentioned as not desirable at this time, but could be
considered again in the future.
City Manager Starbird asked for their opinions regarding
the Doug Ayers comprehensive cost control and recovery
• study. It was felt that the study would be of some
value, but the cost was rather high. Mr'. Starbird
responded that he would have Mr. Ayers update his
1990 proposal.
• ORAL -COMMUNICATIONS Jerry King noted that there is only a 6=.- 70% success
rate in collecting paramedic fees and felt the subscrip-
tion for paramedic services was a good idea.
