March 2'., 1999 DISCUSSION ABOUT STREET REPAIR THROUGHOUT THE CITY - (cont.) PWD Smart stated, if we develop a long range plan, then budget the tax increment monies, gas tax monies, property taxes we have levied, along with a possible increase of tax levy, we should have funds to pay for the reconstruction, and repair of streets we have talked about tonight. Discussion about bonding the tax increment monies, this would allow the City to do the reconstruction and repair of streets all at once, instead of spread out over several years. This street repair and construction would include repair and replacement of water and sewer systems at the same time the street is be repaired. Council was in agreement, 1) Development of a long range plan for streets, water and sewer as soon as possible. 2) Attorney Holmes will check with bond counsel about possibility of bonding the tax increment monies. 3) Putting pressure on the firm that is testing sub grade of W. Chubbuck Road. At 6:10 p.m., Councilman Quick moved, Councilman Gunter seconded, with full council approval to adjourn meeting. Z�Z_ -elit"VI Ron C.
