REPORT TO <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> Date: December 21, 2006 <br /> Subiect: December 21" Council Agenda Items <br /> Agenda Item#2—Fire Department Remodel <br /> Members of the Fire Department will be present to talk about the remodeling project. I <br /> understand that they would like to move forward and complete the entire project at once. <br /> A couple of issues the Council may want to consider include: <br /> • Funding—Is the funding available? <br /> • Fire Board—Does the Fire Board need to be informed of this decision? <br /> • If the City will be contributing to this project, will the room be available for use <br /> by all departments of the City? <br /> Agenda Item #3 —Cole Memorial Grant <br /> The City has been awarded a grant in the amount of$41,165. This is a matching grant of <br /> which a majority of the match will be paid by the Historical Society. They City will be <br /> responsible for a small portion of the match(which has been budgeted for in 2007). <br /> The project consists of purchasing and installing an elevator and replacing all of the <br /> windows in the building. <br /> COUNCIL ACTION: Council motion to accept the grant and entering into a letter of <br /> agreement. <br /> Agenda Item#4—General Fund and HRA Lew <br /> The Truth In Taxation hearing was held on December 4th. The Council received no <br /> negative comments at that meeting. The proposed levy for 2007 is $1,360,000 which is a <br /> 4.6% increase from 2006. This levy generates a City tax rate decrease in two of the <br /> taxing districts as shown below. <br />
