ITEM #3 1987/88 Budget Amendment
The Projected 1987 1988 Budget differs from the originally adopted budget in the following particulars;
1. Tax increment revenues have been reduced to coincide with actual revenues received. This also reduces the 20% debt service deposit required.
2. Transfers to the parking system have been increased by $7,500 to pay for the "free parking on Saturday" project for the second half of the current fiscal year.
3. The projected costs of the streetscape have increased $25,000 which include the recently approved $341,000 sidewalk contract together with the estimated cost of street lamps, wiring,
and sprinkler system installation.
In accordance with continuing agency direction, any funds unexpended on September 30, 1988 will be transferred to an escrow account for payment of future debt service.
Commissioner Regulski made a motion to amend the 1987 1988 Budget of the Redevelopment Agency to conform to the projected 1987 88 Budget. `Motion` was duly seconded and `carried` unanimously.
ITEM #4 Bilgore Property Lease Revision
Joseph R. McFate, Planning & Urban Development Director, reviewed the amendments being requested by Mr. Donaldson and stated Mr. Donaldson prefers not to terminate the lease until the
end of the next season.
Mr. Donaldson explained, now that he alone is responsible for the lease payments, it is creating a financial hardship on him.
Commissioner Nunamaker moved to recognize that the lease expires 2/28/89 and, as of that date, it is known to the lessee that the City will cancel the lease. The `motion` was duly
seconded and `carried` unanimously.
Commissioner Nunamaker moved to reduce the rent to $300 a month. The motion was duly seconded. Upon vote being taken, Commissioners Nunamaker & Winner voted "Aye"; Commissioners Berfield
and Regulski and Mayor Garvey voted "Nay". Motion failed.
