It was agreed that the City staff would look at contingency plans assuming the wastewater treatment plant is not funded. This should take into account both proceeding with the purchase of the land for the new site and the consequences of delaying such land purchase. In addition we should review what alternatives and problems might exist if funding at the anticipated level is not available for the City. (Schmadeke, Kimm, Vitosh) 2. The City will explore whether there are possibilities under the new income tax law which would make it advantageous for the City to lease a new transit building constructed by private enterprise. (Mose & Vitosh) 3. The City Manager indicated that the bus equipment reserve is revised periodically but that he would check to see if the figures are current. (Vitosh) 4. There was some discussion of small buses and it was agreed that Glenn Roberts would travel with Hugh and the staff to the transportation meeting in Chicago. (Mose) 5. It was agreed that the City Manager would express to the University the need for coordination in housing and transportation issues. (Berlin) 6. It was agreed that the staff would look at alternatives if for some reason Old Capitol Center is unable to proceed with the construction of the Armstrong's department store and the hotel. (Schmeiser & Hauer) 7. The City should develop a revenue strategy for the future. (Vitosh & Berlin) 8. Would it be possible to refinance general obligation bonds if they have to be issued in a very high market. (Vitosh) 9. It was agreed that the staff would proceed to prepare various alterantives for park acquisition which would not be based upon the issuance of GO bonds or general CIP support. The policy would include priorities for acquisition of land, tentative locations with the goal of maintaining acreage per citizen, as currently provided. The policy would also include alternatives for acquiring park land, dedication, special funding and other viable alternatives. Another element of the study would be the potential for dual use of school sites. It was agreed that there would be a preliminary discussion with the Parks and Recreation Commission concerning this study prior to its preparation.
