Clerk and Treasurer Spencer explained a letter from Street
Commissioner Trembley requesting a building and a chipper. As the
Motor Vehicle Fund is short on funds~ he suggests the Council consider
an additional appropriation in the Cumulative Capital Development Fund
an there is a carry-over balance. Councilperson Williams asked to
table the decision at this time. Councilperson Frantz expressed the
need for a building for preventative maintenance.
Councilperson Stemler suggests the City become a member of
the Southern Indiana Development commission. There has been money
collected in the past in an Economic Development Fund that has rolled
over year after year. Clerk and Treasurer Spencer explained this can
be put into a budget for 1994~ or an additional appropriation may be
requested for 1993. Councilperson Stemler has been told the City
membership fee would be $57000. This fee has been $20~000. Following
further discussion of the fund and the history it was the general
consensus to put this in an Economic Development budget for 1994.
This would have to have Council approval to use.
