Community Development Director Nelson showed overheads of four spread sheets summarizing Capital Projects which receive funding ITom the General fund. The first overhead showed Capital Improvement Program Completed General Fund Projects (1994-95 and 1995-96 funding) which totaled $11,561.000. They included the new Red Morton Center and Fair Oaks Branch Library. The second overhead showed current projects (FY 1996-97 to FY 2000/01.) Community Development Director Nelson said approximately $2.5 million per year was set aside to the CIP. $1.7 to $1.8 million came ITom the Utility Users Tax, and $700,000 to 800,000 came ITom the General Fund for transportation projects, augmenting the gasoline tax projects. She said there are other projects in the CIP program that are funded ITom sewer and water fees and GID-I-64. Nelson said the new fire station would be funded mostly ITom the CIP, but there is some augmentation ITom GID-I-64. Director Nelson said the Civics Facility Fund addresses the projects identified by the Council as very important buildings, such as Red Morton Community Center, the Fire Station and City Hall. She described other projects, repairs, transportation systems and inftastructure maintenance. City Manager Everett said deficits appear in the out years because projects are listed in the CIP without considering funding. It is somewhat of a wish list that Council and staff want to accomplish, and as each new budget is approved Council makes the decision as to what projects eventually will or will not be done and how they will be funded. Director Nelson advised that the FY 1996/97 and FY 1997/98 CIP budget is balanced. The next overhead showed the CIP budget in detail and listed the Council's priorities as well as inftastructure maintenance. Director Nelson showed an overhead of FY 1998/99 to 1999/2000 projects that staff would like to do, including on-going projects, and items such as replacing the carpeting in the Library which will be ten years old. The list is very, very long and every year decisions are made to do as many as possible. There is a projected deficit of almost $900,000 in 1998/99 and $1 million in the year 2000. The Council will decide what projects will be done and how they will be funded. 2.
