Exhibit (A) City Manager's memo of September 12, 1972 re: City Attorney's Budget Staff Recommendations ,» » n * Oct. 25, 1972A-B No. Date: City Manager's Recommendation Please see attached memorandum. These recommendations are made consistent with current information on permissible expenditures. My recommendations are heavily weighted by a desire to maximize large one-time expenditures this year. In this manner we minimize City Council policy commitments to ongoing expenditures of these funds for the entire five year period. You will then have maximum flexibility to consider long range use of these funds during 1973-74 budget considerations. 12-27-72 Please see my memorandum of 12-14-72 regarding revised revenue sharing expenditure recommendations. It is suggested that in addition to the railroad crossing gates and the Tamarack - Pio Pico intersection signalization that the new fire engine ($41,697) be approved at this City Council meeting. In order to comply with federal requirements, it is suggested that a decision regarding this year's revenue sharing expenditures be made by the City Council meeting of January 16, 1973. Council Action 10-30-72 Matter of recommended expenditures for revenue Glaring was tabled & Cmn Chase and McComas instructed to determine a list of priorities, city Manager & City Engineer instructed to contact Public Utilities Commission & Santa Fe Railroad to work out a solution with regard to crossing arms at railway intersections. ll-8-7i Cmn. McComas indicated there were more areas than had been anticipated for priority consideration. A report would be ready by December 5, 1972 and committee recommendations would be made at that time. Cmn.

Arnold, City Manager DATE: December 14, 1972 SUBJECT: Revenue Sharing - Recommended Expenditures (Revision) The following revised recommendations for use of revenue sharing funds results from additional information that traffic safety projects are eligible expenditures. The City Council has already indicated approval of a number of such projects. Additional revenues from our 3rd and 4th-quarter allocations are included as income. It is suggested that we annually retain the equivalent of one quarter's revenue in reserve. This pro- cedure will allow us to keep expenditures from revenue sharing funds on a cash basis without borrowing from other funds. Committee's suggestion that such a commit cation. I am aware of the Council revenue sharing be used to improve Chestnut Avenue from Monroe Street to El Camino Real. However, my recommendation is that commitment not be made at this time. This project will 40%, or two years of our five-year revenue sharing allo- About half the cost is involved in right-of-way acquisition. Prior to a commitment on this project, some of the large property owners should be contacted to determine if they are willing to grant easements on all or a substantial part of the necessary right-of-way. This would halve the cost of the project. The advantage to the property owners would be installa- tion of improvements they would be required to install whey they developed their properties. The project should also be evaluated together with other capital improvements this spring.
