NO. #3928 - 1984 BUDGET rl'hM #9C, BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FCR STREET FUBD FOR 1984 City Clerk McCluskey stated the intent was to include Item #9C in the ordi- nance, amending the 1984 Budget, however they were inadvertently separated. The Adjustment for the Street Fund was explained by Court Prisk, Field Ser- vices Director, who stated it is merely an adjustment because work generated was higher than anticipated revenues frcm projects completed was also generated. He stated the key is that the Council must pass tile ordinance with Street Funds high enough for expenditures.

REQUEST FOR ZCE~D PARKING - 6TH & HIGH, #AB84-611 Ms. McCluskey read a request fr~nbusipasses in the area to rescind Zoned Parking at 6th & High although each business is conducting a different type of service at that location and the proponents feel there is a cc~non need for adequate short term parking to enable tobetter service cust~ners. They requsted the posting of the first one hundred feet of }Ugh Street to a limi- ted time parking zone because of PSNS workers tying up the available resi- dential parking, which wouldmake available 4 all-dayparking spots that the residents would lose but would then be available for many people throughout the day. CounciLman Pachek spoke against changing the parking zone because he repre- sents the residents in this area and knows that there is not available parking in the rear of these residents, nor an alley access and feels it would pose a hardship on their area. Councilman Sturdiv-ant was opposed to 3 or 4 busi- nesses asking to take away residential parking and suggested it be tabled until the area was monitored for a period of time. Councilman Homing was for acting on the issue now and if problems arose, deal with the problem after (JiW Council Reg. "tg.

Councilman Pachek stated he will make then aware and feels it should be table for at least two weeks. Councilman Johnson requested that the resi- dents be notified from the City Clerk' s office in addition to Mr. Pachek's notification so they would be able to have input.

In the Council's Statement of Legislative Intent, there was a directive to have a significant update of the Plan and what is being presented to Council is as requested which should be considered an interim plan for adoption. This plan has been reviewed by the Park's Cc~m~ission and w-as unanimously approved. If Council approves the revised plan, it will provide the support for the Park' s portion of the Ccmmunity Develotm~nt rationale required by the HUD Block Grant process. It will also provide the basis for budgeting and facilities planning and it is recc~anended by staff that Council approve. Mr. Court Prisk stated that the City is divided into three districts, Central, West and East Brenerton, under the Plan. He said that the needs are priortiz~i as (1) over-all priority and (2) priority for Districts.

The City has reserved $30,000 of the Revenue Sharing Funds for allocation to Cu~en~nity A~encies, however, the City received $153,909 in requests from 15 agencies. Councilman Anderson suggested one change in allocations which reduced the proposed $5,000 Camp Fire/Girl Scouts would receive by $1,000.00, transferring to the Hospice program. The figures would be $4,000 allocated to Camp Fire/Girl buts, and $2,000 allocated to Hospice. His reasoning was that Hospice has no other source of funding and needs the support. Councilmen concurred.
