The resolutions would transfer a total of $1 ,515,517.79 in local dollars and would assure the receipt of $623,000 of state grant monies for this year's removal prograr�. The justification for this request is explained in Community Services' June 1 , 1978 letter attached. 6Jhile we all recognize the need to fund this request, the difficult decision rests with the method of financing. I am recommending the follo�ving funding sources be transferred: Advance Sewer Payments: PIR Account $349,469.79 Downtown People Mover: 1978 CIB Bonds 486,048.00 1978 Fall Tree Planting: 1978 CIB 8onds 430,000.00 CDBG Year IV Contingency 250,000.00 $1 ,515,517.79 The resolution transferring Advance Sewer Payment monies cannot be formally processed until after an ordinance is passed which releases the money for general fund use. The CIB Committee revie�,red this request at their July 13, 1978 meeting (minutes attached). Their recommendation supported the need to fund the request and secure state aid, but the Committee continued to maintain their traditional policy of not recommending the use of CIB bond monies for tree removal . Tree planting has always been a use of CIB bond monies recommended by the Committee. While I understand the CIB Committee's position, as long as no other monies are readily available to address the Dutch elm disease crisis, I feel that the use of bond monies for contracted tree removal is essential . No bond monies are being used to finance City tree removal employees in lieu of annual budget appropriations. The suggestion of not using "Advance Sewer Payment" monies for diseased tree removal in lieu of expediting the Thomas-Dale Sewer project does not seem appropriate at this time. The design of the Thomas-Dale sewer project has been funded and is proceeding on an orderly schedule. Construction will be ready to start early this coming spring. _ ' �,r1��"" 1978 Tree Removal Program - 2 - August 1 , 1978 It would seem unreasonable to use money to hire additional engineers to expedit� the design of one project when 1978 budget action just reduced the Public Works' engineering staff by 35 employees. And when future capital improvement funding is decreased because of declining Community Development Block Grant monies , it daes �not seem appropriate to hire additional engineers for a few months, then lay them off because there will not be enough capital monies to finance other needed projects. Our ability to advance the implementation of the Thomas-Dale sewer project is directly related to our ability to finance the construction costs. It will take about $7,000,000 to construct the first two phases over a two year period before any back-up relief can be realized. I feel that I must strongly recommend action on this transfer. If this request is not funded, the City will still have to finance the removal of the trees in next year's budget, only removal prices will be higher and we will have lost �623,Q00 in state monies. An additional factor not to be ignored, is that we would be in violation of state law if we do not remove diseased trees identified during 1978. CC: Richard E. Schroeder Thomas J. Kelley Robert P.
