N. NEW BUSINESS to be introduced <br />RESOLUTIONS <br />1. <br />Resolution 2011 – 6 A resolution delegating a certain level of budget transfer <br />authority to the City Manager. <br />This resolution was postponed from March 14, 2011 Council meeting and is still awaiting <br />legal opinion, so will be postponed until April 11, 2011 Council meeting. <br /> <br />2. <br />Resolution 2011 – 7 A resolution on the City Council’s use of equivalent money <br />received from the Community Development Block Grant Disaster fund. <br /> <br />Mr. Price moved to approve and was seconded by Mr. Kraft. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci requested that this resolution be amended as the one proposed was too <br />limiting and the City has broader flood issues. With that in mind, she moved that <br />Resolution 2011 – 7 be amended to incorporate changes as proposed in the <br />modified resolution that all members of Council found on their desks this evening. <br />Her motion was seconded by Mr. Sharpe. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert asked what the elements of the revised resolution entailed. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci stated the original resolution spoke about dedicating $461,000 to one <br />specific flood-related purpose which was to purchase other houses. Her concern <br />was that there might be other flooding issues that surface after the Wilson buyout is <br />completed - such as requiring a study of the floodplain. Or the City may want to <br />remediate in some areas. She suggested making the resolution broader so that it <br />still reserved these funds for a possible future flood buyouts but also for flood- <br />related issues, as a possible flood this spring or a piece of property that becomes <br />necessary to purchase because of flood related issues. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked the City Manager if the funds for Wilson have been taken care of. <br />Mr. Walker said they have been. He stated that he thought the additional funds <br />should be put in a trust to be used as matching funds for future buyouts. Mr. Walker <br />said that would be the staff recommendation. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft said the way he sees it is that the Council all agreed that the million dollars <br />should be set aside as a match for the four million dollar project on Wilson. The City <br />now only needs $539,000 so now there is $461,000 left over and would be proper to <br />move this into a budgeted category that would be used only for grant matches used <br />to buy out homes, since it was originally approved as a match. <br /> <br />Voice vote on approval of Ms. Ricci’s amendment was not clear so a roll call was <br />taken: <br />Roll Call vote was: <br />Ayes: Ms. Ricci, Mr. Crow, Mr. Sharpe, and Mayor Welsch <br />Nays: Mr. Price, Mr. Kraft, Mr. Glickert <br />Amendment to Resolution 2011 – 7 carried with a majority. <br /> <br />Voice vote on Resolution 2011 – 7 as amended carried with one Nay vote from Mr. <br />Price. <br /> <br />BILLS TO BE INTRODUCED <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
