Mr. Tollenaar said that he had hoped Library project financial management and staff backfill could have been proposed from other than one-time resources. He said he favored reassigning the resources allocated to that item to the Reserve for FY2000 Capital Projects. Mr. Meisner said he believed developing a north downtown area planning process was important. He suggested that the total proposed in the supplemental budget could be consumed by public involvement process costs alone. Mr. Meisner said he also supported the suggestion of Mr. Tollenaar to increase the funds available for Year 2000 community preparedness. Mr. Meisner said he supported canceling or waiting for additional information about the proposed funding Library project financial management and staff back fill from one time resources proposal. He said he believed the project's fiscal control should be funded from current Urban Renewal District management resources. He pointed out that the Library Director had been appointed New Library Project Director and said that support for that position should come from those same resources. Mr. Meisner said he objected to the proposed expenditure for Growth Management implementation when it had been agreed to extend implementation of the policies. Mr. Johnson stated that it was important that a New Library Project Manager be appointed. He said that revenue for the position had not been included in the serial levy approved by voters; that Urban Renewal District administration expenditures had already been reduced by council direction, but that as much as $70,000 could be available from its budget; that funds for development of the project were already considered too limited; and that one time General Fund resources appeared to be the most available to provide the revenue required. Mr. Meisner asked for functional job descriptions of persons currently engaged in Urban Renewal District administration. Mr. Johnson replied that the information would be provided. Ms. Swanson Gribskov asked if it would be possible to fund $70,000 of the Library project financial management and staff backfill budget item from Urban Renewal District administration.
