Assistant Manayer Boyles repnrted on lnfrastructL e repl,, .crAent
ana related fiscal mitter report as submitted by ,he !%pecial
Assessment Committee. The Special Aesessment Committee
discussed the Short -L I I lot -Hendrickson reLurt which pr•ir•:ts
that by the y3a::006, the City wilt need co finance $32,000.000
of streat reoalr and reconstruction. That sum Is for streets
currently constructed and dues not contemplate the repair of
streets yet to be constructed. The adoption of a comprehensive
maintenance program is essential.
Coun%.ilmember Ricker reported that the financing of
reconstruction can be complicated. Not every Ktreet will
require the gime degree of reconstruction and/or repair over a
given time. A major concern is the utilirattor oll special
asse.&&w^nts in financing a street reconstruction program. Thi:
Suprert Court has ruled that the local government bears the
burden of proving that a specific parcel benefited by an
Increase in valuation at least equal to the amount of the
assessmente t3emon.,tratIng such benefit can be difficult and
costly. The Committee beiteve% that the City's Infrastructure
Repl cement Reserve Fund should continue: to be the backbone of
the City's iwiy.-torm financial commitment to infrastructure
preservation, but it (:annot be the only source of funding.
Based on analysis Including fiscal projections, the Committee
concluded that the Counnil should adopt a policy to assess 30%
of Line annual urogram costs for street resurfacing and/or

Infrastructure Replace4wnt Reserve Fund levy be increased from
one milt to 1.S mills, and that internal sources of revenues
within the various bond funds be utilized to alleviate the
Infrastructure reserve fund cash flow shortfall.
Col.ncl:member Ricker stated that the Committee recommends the
Cosmcil adopt resoluti;.ns approving the Council's policy on
financing street resurfacing and reconstruction as recommended
Lr the report; creating a permanent improvement revolving (PIR)
fund; proneeding rilth planning activity for a community center;
and directing staff to begin preliminary studies on the space
requirements for the Public Safety Department. He stated that
the third anti fourth items are currently In the five year
Capital improveme^ts Plan.
Councilmember Sisk noted that the proposed PIR fund would
provide the City flexibility in determining how to fund needed
projects. In the past, bonding was one of the few
alternatives.
CoainclInAm ber Zitur stated that the proposed Actions related to
a community center and public safety department are only for
initiation of study, and it is yet to be determined whether
these projects will go any further.
MOTION was made by Councilmember 11tur, seconded by ..ouncil-
member Sisk, to adopt the following resol.itions:

MOTION by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Councilmember Vasiliou,
1:6 vote individually on each of the foar resolutions.
Motion failed; Schneider and Vasiliou ayes; Sisk, Ricker, and
Zitur nZys.
Original motion carried on a Roll, Call vote; four ayes, Va° 111ou
nay.
he Council discussed the philosophy of issuing housing revenue
bonds and tax increment financing to assist in projects outside
of the downtown Plymouth area or beyond the TIF districts
already created. This discussion was held to reponse to the
request of Arkell Development Corporation for tax increment
financing and housing revenue honds for proposed senior citizen
housing.
Assistant Manager Boyles suggested the Council review three
issues%
1) Does the Council wish to authorize tax increment financing
for housing projects (other than the downtown site)?
2) Does the Council wish tv authorize additional housing
revenue bonds (for projects other than the downtown site)?
3) If either tax increment financing or housing revenue bonds
are to be issu'd, should they be location specific, i.e.
downtcwr Plymouth only, or community -wide?
Councilmember Sisk stated the idea of u3; ng f inai cing toots to
assist in development of senior citizen housing ;serves a useful
purpose as long as It is consistent with the City's overall
guide plan and the rents are affotdable for those seniors that
really need housing assistance. Councilmember Sisk was
supportive of being site specific and stated it would be
difficult to support financing for a project outside of the
Plymouth Downtown area.
MOTION was made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Councilmember
Ricker, to establish that it is the sense of the Coun; it that
the use of tax increment financing or revenue bonds for housing
is not supported, with the exception of the city -owned site in
Downtown Plymouth.
Motion carried on a Roil Call vote, five ayes.
In response to a question by Councilmember Vasiliou, Director
ore reported that .street sprinkling with the water truck Is
