WORKSHOP
1998-99 Proposed Budget - City Manager Luebbers distributed revised pages
for the proposed budget which contain all the changes and other information
requests from the May 5, 1998, workshop.
Debt Service - On April 16, 1998, the Finance Committee, Finance director,
Accounting Manager, and Municipal Utilities Director met with Scott Sollers of
Stone & Youngberg to discuss alternatives relating to streamlining
Redevelopment Agency and Utility outstanding debt. Several options were
thoroughly analyzed. The Finance Committee narrowed down the alternatives
to the following: 1) take no action at the current time, or 2) convert the existing
variable rate financings to fixed rate debt thus taking advantage of extremely
favorable interest rates. Mr. Sollers then reviewed in detail the advantage of
converting from variable to fixed rate. Mayor Cunningham asked that the
detailed report prepared by Stone and Youngberg be made available to each
Councilmember to study prior to making a decision.
1998-99 Proposed Budget - Proposed budgets were reviewed by the City
Council as follows: Public Works Department and Police Department. A
budget recap was presented breaking down the totals for the recently merged
Police Department and Human Services Department.
