AGENDA ITEMS
1. Discussion Item: Review of Finances
Although the city account shows about $9,800 “in the bank,” staff believes that the special assessments for
the next three years will generate approximately $22,000 annually and the BID will receive a one-time
payment of $35,000 on the construction settlement with the Lakeshore Drive contractor. That would be
$33,666 annually for the next three years. The BID has sidewalk snow removal and Christmas decorations
on its work plan. Over the three years of the current BID assessment, the BID cannot spend any more than
$101,000. The BID already has spent about $2,000 of that amount for six portable basketball hoops.
Motion by K. Fearnly, supported by L. Hopson, to acknowledge the status of the finances currently.
Vote: 6 yays, 0 nays, 0 abstentions
