Notice thereof having been published according to jaw, an.
PROGRAM ,
affidavit of which is on file in the office of the City
CC -6 Clerk, Mayor Olson called for the public `tearing to
consider recommended uses of Revenue Sharing Funds as they
CC -15 pertain to the proposed City of t_odi 1987_88 Capital
improvement Program.
The following report was presented by the City Manager:
With the adoption of the 1987-88 Capital Improvement
Program there will remain in the General Revenue Sharing
_� Fund $673,tvv a'v diEau.c .vs Cn�:ri �a� Nr vjcC vs r other ' Cits

Council -approved uses. The General Revenue Sharing program
has beer. terminated by the Federal Government. Expenditure
of this balance will close the books on that source of
funding. This is the second of two public hearings
required in accordance with General Revenue Sharing
regulations prior to the expenditure of these funds.
Previously allocated to the City Council Chambers (Carnegie
Building) rehabilitation, the expenditure of these monies
requires new hearings because of the staff recommendation
to allocate these remaining funds elsewhere. The first
public hearing was held, as required, at the staff level
I
ast Wednesday morning in the Coriimunity Room, Lodi Public
Library. The hearing was before the. City Manager,
Assistant City Manager, Finance Director and City Clerk.
:t is recommended that Council approve a series of fund
transfers, the end result of which will be an amount equal
co the Revenue Sharing balance finding its way into the
Capital Outlay Reserve Fund where it will be available for
capital expenditures minus some rather onerous Federal
Government regulations. The recommendation is to transfer
Police Department salary expenditures to the General
Revenue Sharing Fund until that fund balance is exhausted.
This will free a like amount of money to be transferred
from the Police Department's budget to the General Fund
Operating Reserve. From that fund, it will be transferred
to the Capital Outlay Reserve Fund. It is all quite legal
and simple, and will save the City a lot of grief in the
expenditure of the remains of the City's Revenue Sharing
monies.
To this date, the City has never expended Revenue Sharing
monies for salaries or other facets of on-going programs,
but for capital expenditures only. This position was taken
at the start of the program in 1972 because there was no
guarantee that this program would be with us forever. That
proved to be a very wise policy, and one that very few
cities, because of financial constraints, were able to
maintain through the life of the programa As a result,
termination of the program did not translate in the City of
Lodi to reduced levels of service. However, with the
program now ended, it is in the City's best interest to
accomplish the fund transfers as recommended to provide the
City Council with maximum flexibility in the utilization of
the balance.
This hearing is for the purpose of obtaining public input
with regard to the use of these funds. At the close of the.
-_
hearing the City Council is then free to determine in its
own best judgement, the appropriate allocation of these
funds.
There were no persons in the audience wishing to address
the Council on this matter.
Following a lengthy discussion with questions being
directed to staff, Council on motion of Council Member
to
Pinkerton, Reid second, directed the staff accomplish
forth in staff's reco►nrnendations
the fund transfers as set
heretofore set forth.
