I II. COUNTERCYCLICAL FUNDS: RECOMMENDED PRIORITY LIST FOR APPROVAL--December -- IS, 1977, memo from the City Manager has been distributed to the Council members. Manager explained that the regulations are tighter than before and that this money should be viewed as one-shot money. He said there are doubts whether it will continue. The first group of suggested projects total $665,000. He said the staff has considered the follow- ing criteria in preparing the priority list for Council consideration: (1) improvement in the long-range financial circumstances of the City; (2) improvement in productivity of existing work forces; (3) improve- ment in the City's compliance with legal, safety, and other require- ments; (4) potential for disruption of services when funds are termi- nates; (5) likelihood that expenditure will be proposed as part of the 1978-79 budget if not financed by countercyclical funds. He said most projects will probably appear in departmental budgets if not funded through countercyclical funds. The priority list includes: (1) Library--automated circulation system, $313,000; (2) HCC--Renewa1 Agency staffing, $100,000; (3) Finance--financia1 accounting system improvement, $157,000; (4) Public Works--Centra1 Yard rehabilitation, $42,000; (5) P1anning--Whiteaker Neighborhood Model, $52,000. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to approve the prior- ities and authorize expenditures. Motion carried unanimously. I V.
