In <br />addition, you held a joint public hearing on the plan with the <br />members of the Planning Commission. Subsequent to this time, I <br />have been holding individual conferences with you to provide <br />additional detail and explanation of the proposed projects. I <br />have scheduled a public work session for the evening of October <br />8, 1990, at which time there will be further discussion. <br /> <br /> I have placed on your agenda for Tuesday, October 9, 1990, <br />the two resolutions needed to finalize the CIP process. The <br />first resolution approves the five year Capital Improvement <br />Plan for 1990-91 through 1994-95 and the one year Capital <br />Improvement Program for 1990-91. The second resolution <br />authorizes the issuance of S4,550,000 of General Obligation <br />Bonds and Bond Anticipation Notes, which is necessary to fund <br />the projects. <br /> <br /> As I indicated in my letter presenting the CIP for your <br />consideration, you should consider my recommendation to be <br />flexible. Any changes you wish to make can be accommodated, <br />but I do strongly suggest that they be in the form of <br />substitutions so that the total authorization remains at the <br />level of sl0 million in General Obligation Bonds, as <br />recommended by the Municipal Finance Commission. <br /> <br /> At its meeting on October 2, the Planning ComMission <br />recommended that the City Council draft the proposed CIP as <br />presented. Accordingly, I recommend adoption of the attached <br />resolution approving the 1990-95 Capital Improvement Plan and <br />the one year Capital Improvement Program for 1990-91 and <br />adoption of the bond resolution which will establish funding <br />for projects contained in the first year." <br /> <br /> Kevin Wyatt, 234 Mt. Vernon Ave., spoke in support of <br />a Port Norfolk Tot Lot. <br /> <br /> Council informed Mr. Wyatt, that there is not a special <br />provision in the CIP for a Tot Lot this year, that it is <br />provided on a needs basis. <br /> <br /> <br />
