Town Administrator Klaphake presented a preliminary time-schedule to achieve a priority list of all capital improvement projects; (1) refer the draft list of projects to the Planning Commission for their review during February and March. The Commission's role in this program is to compare the projects to the Comprehen sive Plan, not to make any judgements concerning any socio/economic impacts; (2) following referral by the Planning Commission to the Committee, the Committee would consider the list in April and May; (3) the Committee would refer the final list to the Town Board for their prioritization—the Town Board could review the list during June and July; (4) Administrator Klaphake and Finance Officer Vavra could prepare a financing plan to accompany the list for review by the Town Board during the 1990 Budget process. Community Development Director Stamey advised the project list ings were placed under two categories: "General Fund" and "Enterprise Fund." The General Fund projects included those typically financed through appropriations from the General Fund, ie; improvements to parking lots, streets, sidewalks, etc. The Enterprise Fund projects included those projects funded through a utility revenue fund and contained projects from the Light and Power and Water Departments. The preliminary list did not contain any Stanley Park projects as they were not available; in addition, the list was not intended to exclude any projects that may be deemed appropriate. Chairman Dickinson declared a 5-minute recess at 3:33 P.M. meeting was reconvened at 3:37 P.M. The Following discussion, the Committee recommends the Town Board refer the preliminary list of Capital Improvements Projects, as identified this date,’ including any Stanley Park Projects, to the Planning Commission for their evaluation and comparison to the Comprehensive Plan.
