CITY MANAGER REPORT ON PLANNING CO11MISSION RECOMMENDATION TO TT UP FUNDS TO ACQUIRE KEY LOTS FOP STREET EXTENSIONS. The Clerk read the following report: At the last regular meeting held on February 6, 1956, this office was requested to study the possibility of setting up an acquisition fund to acquire key lots for street extensions. It would appear that there are two sources of funds available for capital expenditures of this nature, both of which are extremely limited: 1. Gas tax funds, when applied to streets of major importance. These funds unfortunately, are insufficient to finance a number of improtant projects already contemplated, such as the extension of Spruce Street, etc. 2. The special five cent capital tax fund which, I understand, the Council intends to allocate for capital projeots,now under consideration. If agreeable to the Council, however, it would be possible in the future to allocate part of the funds raised by the special five cent capital tax, for the purchase of key lots or other necessary areas for street extensions. ...r Assuming one cent of the five cent capital tax were to be allocated, approximately $10,000 per year could be raised for this purpose. If this id done, however, it would be my recommendation that expenditures be subject to a list of projects to be submitted by the Planning Commission and the City Engineer, in the order of their importance, based on a rigid priority program. Councilman Royer moved that this be referred to the Council at budget time, seconded by Councilman Spillers. Councilman Granger was of the opinion that the City Manager and the Planning Commission should be notified so they can submit a written report at budget study time.
