ONE YEAR EXTENS ION REVENUE SHARING FUNDS Memo of June 27, 1978 from Finance Director informed Council that as of June 30, 1978 the City will have approximately $780,000 in the Federal Revenue Sharinq Fund. Federal Government contributions during L978-79 wil-l raise the amount to $1,013,000. $481,000 of this amount has been appropriated by the City Council for construc- tion of the Police facility. The Finance Dj-rector went on to specify that the unappropriated balance of approximately $532,000 had been proposed for the Po1ice project, but with the advent of Proposition 13 this project appears unlikely in the near future. At least $185,000 of these funds Led by Jerome !'. Coleman, City Attorney. ROLL CAIL L97 will be subject to the 24 month Iimitation if not used for thepolice facility. The Finance Director recommended that a one year extension be requested for this amount from the office of Revenue Sharing, and a public hearing be held in July to obligate at least $420,000 of the Revenue Sharing in 1978-79. He suggested these funds be specified for sewer replacements. Councilman Martin questioned if it would not be better to put this money in the general fund for operations. Finance Director repliedthe Council had this prerogative. However, it must be expendedfor specific purposes, i.e. police salaries. Councilman Amstrup commented he thought the $185,000 could be spent for anything. Finance Director agreed it cou1d, but pointed out that if it were merely put into the general fund the IegaI requirements would not be met - it must be actually expended or obligated, Councilwoman Barton noted that if Revenue Sharing money were put into the general fund it would look like the fund had plenty of money. Finance Director agreed this could be a drawback at this time. Councilman Amstrup thought that the to the sewer fund seemed reasonable have to be met. obligation of the because the sewer $420,000 program would Council briefly discussed date of next Council meeting scheduledfor JuIy 3 - 4th of July weekend - and decided to postpone thisregular meeting to JuIy 10, 1978; hol-d a regular meeting onJuly 17,1978, and a study meeting on July ).2, L978 to be devoted so1e1y to budget matters .
