January 17, 1956
Members of City of St. Paul Technical Committee
Gentlemen:
The Council Advisory Committee has been studying the 1956 allocation
of bond funds and has informed us that it has tentatively approved $2,200,000
for school purposes subject to confirmation of the Technical Committee.
Inasmuch as the City will be offering Water Bonds for sale in the very near
future, it was suggested by the City Comptroller that the School Bonds and
Water Bonds be offered at the same time, leaving the allocation of other bond
funds to be determined later in the year. The breakdown of the school re-
quests for 1956 bond funds is as follows:
School Acquisition Bond Fund Y300
Sites, Construction and Equipping
Proiect No. Poet Amount
EA-6 Como Junior High $ 910,000.00
Como Junior High Site 150,000.00
EA-9 Sheridan Elementary 100,000.00
EA-11 Highland Park Junior High 700,000.00
EA-12 Equipment - New Schools 215,000.00
Total Fund #300 $2,075,000.00,
School Rehabilitation Bond Fund ;'310
Proiect No., Pro eet Amount
ER-1 Rehabilitation Existing Schools $ 125,000.00
Total Bond Allocation School Purposes $2,200,000.00
At a meeting where members of the School Board, Council Advisory Committee,
and the City Comptroller's office were present, it was pointed out that
there was some misunderstanding in regard to the equipment allocation of
.- 1 -
$200,000.00 from Bond Fund #310 and designated as project No. 310 ER-2.
Although the $200,000, as set up by Council action, was charged against the
School Rehabilitation Bond Fund #310, it apparently was the intention of the
School Board that this allocation come from the School Acquisition Bond
Fund 1,300 and that it be expended for equipping new school buildings. As a
result, our records show that of the $2,500,000 rehabilitation bonds author-
ized, we have issued $1,095,000, whereas the School Board shows on its
statements that only $895,000 has been requested. In like manner, our
records show that of the $8,500,000 acquisition bonds authorized, we have
issued only $3,305,000, whereas the School Board shows on its statements
that $3,505,000 has been requested. In order to carry out the intentions
of the School Board we suggest that the 1956 bond allocations be as follows:
School Acquisition Bond Fund LOO
Sites, Construction and Equipping
Proiect No. Pr 'ect Am, ount
EA-6 Como Jr. High $ 910,000.00
Como Jr. High Site 150,000.00
EA-9 Sheridan Elementary 100,000.00
EA-11 Highland Park Jr. High 700,000.00
EA-12 Equipment - New Schools 340,000.00
$2,200,000.00
You will note that instead of setting up $125,000 in the rehabilitation fund,
we have added it to project EA-12 under the School Acquisition fund, thereby
partially correcting the $200,000 difference. In later bond allocations, we
can provide for the additional $75,000.
In the event the Technical Committee approves the School allocation
of $2,200,000 for 1956, the Advisory Committee will tak3 immediate action
by submitting a resolution to the Council for their approval.
