the problem will just move to Second Street.
Lynn Sadowski, 1538 Third Street, regarding Third Street parking and renewal of liquor license for Fishbone. Patrons of Fishbone are not considerate park so close to driveways that you can not get out of your driveway. Boaters are accessing on to private pier and making purchases from the bar.

Jeff Forslund, 708 Genesse Street, regarding TIF 3 and requested some type of fire protection if only for the pipes so that Genesee Street would not have to be ripped up in the future. The timing of any construction is important. The Christmas season is very important to the merchants. Would like any construction that is planned to be in the spring of the year.
Jim Zahorik, 1948 West Shore Drive, regarding item 7.d. discussion of TIF 3. The consideration of dry water mains on Genesee Street. Mr. Zahorik is against any money being spent on water.

7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Presentation regarding 2000 Financial Audit and City Financial Condition
Auditor Kevin Krysinski, Krysinski & Associates, S.C. present the
Council with the Summary of Funds and Account Groups and Report on Internal
Control. Discussion took place on the City’s Financial Policies.
Current fund reserves are less than 2% of operating expenses. The
policy requires a reserve of 25% of operation expenses.
Dave Anderson, Ehlers and Associates Inc was asked to participate in the discussion. Mr. Anderson said a 2% fund balance was not an acceptable fund balance. The City was not following its Financial Policy and this does effect the City bond rating. Mr. Anderson discussed bond rating. Discussion took place if 25% was some type of a standard. Administrator Carlson said it was the textbook standard for municipal finance. Communities throughout the state and country have different fund balance reserves. Those with better bond ratings have higher reserves. Mr. Anderson stated that the City could adopt a policy that requires 15% of operation expenses as a reserve, but that to achieve an Aa bond rating, 25% would have to be met. The City should then follow that policy.
It will take time to achieve that goal, but once it is obtained, it should be maintained. Council agreed. Mr. Krysinski completed his report.
Motion to approve the 2000 Financial Audit as presented. (Miskelley/Quartaro) Motion carried.

resulted in a total interest cost, which is substantially, less than presented
to the Council.

No. 2001-15 Sale of General Obligation Promissory Note, Series No. 2001

Schuman asked if second street was reviewed by the Police Chief and City
Engineer. Administrator Carlson said that they were not, but would
draft an ordinance and circulate to Department heads and neighbors indicating
that this would be taken up at the June 4th meeting.
Council discussed the parking problem. They asked the following questions, how many stalls would be taking away, number of ticket issued and if stripping would be of any help.
