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. McComas asked that department heads submit their own
lists for consideration and the City Manager was so instructed
to notify.
12-5-72 Councilman McComas informed the Council that he and Councilman
Chase have arrived at a decision of the first four priorities
from Revenue Sharing:

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.
