Randy Daeger reported on the Finance
meeting held on December 11, 2017. This
meeting was regarding funding for CSO Phase III funding. Robert Fisher and Annette Hasch talked about
adjusting the allocation of the Income Tax Receipts. In 2014 the allocations of the Income Tax
Receipts were as follows:
·
Emergency
Services: 30%
·
Debt
Reduction/Capital Improvements: 50%
·
Parks &
Recreation: 5%
·
General Fund: 15%
Currently Phase I and about
half of Phase II costs are collected with the Sewer Capital Improvement (SCI)
Charge to customers. The remaining
balance of the loans will need to come out of the Debt
Reduction portion of the Income Tax Receipts.
Therefore in order to pay for Phase III we will have to raise the SCI
charge or try to reallocate the Income Tax Receipts. The proposed change are as follows:
·
Emergency
Services: 20%
·
Debt
Reduction/Capital Improvements: 55%
·
Parks &
Recreation: 5%
·
General Fund: 20%
Mayor Reinhart asked Robert Fisher if he contacted
anyone from the three Emergency Service departments since we are stealing their
funds. Robert Fisher said that he felt
that reallocating the funds was not stealing them.
