COMMITTEE REPORTS Mayor Steve stated that the application for federal funds from the State Parks and Recreation Committee for the restoration of the museum and fire hall portion of the City Hall had to be in by May 15th. He asked Roger French, city engineer, to recap the situation. Mr. French gave a run-down of the project by phases. He stated that the total cost would be $37,897.00. The city's share would be $18,948.00 and the historical grant would be $18,948.00. He stated that he understood the city had approximately $40,000 in surplus and stated this project would deplete that by about 519,000.00. We would not receive a refund for about six months after billing for the project. He stated we also would have six months lapses between phases. He also advised the council that we have had mandates from the State to do comprehensive plans on water, sewer, and storm drainage systems plus covering the reservoir. These plans must sean be initiated so that he looked on this project with mixed emotions. Verna Spindor, City Treasurer, stated the $40,000 referred to was invested in the Current Expenses Fund but was redeemed to tide us over until the Federal funds come in from the restoration project of City Hall. She said in time we would have the $~O,OOO back. Mrs. Spindor said if the costs were projected far enough in the future we could handle it. There was further discus~:ion of the finances. Mayor Steve said that as lond as we've gone this far on the restoration we should complete the rest of the building. Holgund stated he was not concerned about the covering of the Feservoi~ or storm drainage system now and that the restoration is our prime concern. Councilman Hoglund moved that we proceed Ulith the Historic Grant for the City Hall restoration. It was seconded by Councilman Judy. Motion carried. Mayor Steve directed Roger French to proceed with the project. Mayor Steve stated that the city will be contributing 2% of our liquór tax zlnd profits to the Jefferson County Council on Alcoholism. Deputy Clerk Pedersen stated that last year the city took in $74,000 in liquor tax and profits. She stated that she was contacted by Mrs. Johnson of the AlcDholism Center asking for an estimation of the contribution of the city so they could submit a budget to the State. The estimate given was $1,500. (Note: later it was found the $74,000 figure was in error. The liquor tax and profits was closer to $48,000) Mayor Steve directed the City Attorney to draw up a resolution for presentation at the next meeting authorizing the city to contribute the 2% to the alcoholism center. Mayor Steve said that the I' letter had been sent to the Dept. of Social Health Service stated our intent to cooperate with the county I in an alcoholism center and that our contribution would be hand 'led through the county.
