Administrator Klaphake and Staff also reviewed the General Fund Cash Flow calculations.Without creative leveraging (CDOT,EPUBA,etc.),projects would not be completed, thereby the Town is re-investing in the community. Discretionary income as it relates to a largely residential community was also discussed. Administrator Klaphake noted that a report on CIRSA is scheduled July 8th,and the audit will be presented July 22nd. In the Planning Commission Referral Policy approved by the Town Board in February,1996,plats were to be continued one time,for one month.Interested parties are being inconvenienced when a particular item is placed on the Town Board Agenda (which is publicized),and then the item is continued just prior to the meeting.Staff is suggesting that if the application is not complete on the day the Town Board Agenda is prepared (subject to minor exemptions),the item should be held in the Community Development Department. Stating the recommendation is reasonable,posing a potential disadvantage both to the general public and those in opposition,it was moved and seconded (Baudek/Marshall)the Planning Commission Referral Policy be amended as stated above,and it passed unanimously. Mayor Dekker noted that the June Town Board meeting has been canceled,thus the Board’s next regularly—scheduled meeting will be held July 8,1997. Following completion of all agenda items,Mayor Dekker adjourned the meeting at 8:41 p.m. •AW . %Z%%k Mayor Town Clerk
