Update On Paul Weise Assessment-The City Administrator presented a letter to the Committee from Paul Weise indicating that he is not interested in paying an interest charge for the assessments owed to the City. The City Administrator indicated that if the Committee would recommend the imposition of penalty payments per the developer’s agreement,, Paul Weise would owe nearly $81,000.. Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Committee to recommend to the Council that the City Council consider further legal action against Paul Weise and that the City uphold the penalty payment clause in the Developer’s Agreement that he would owe the City an approximate total of $81,000 in penalty payments for the under value of the development in the years 2002 and 2003.

2006 Budget Projections-The City Administrator reviewed 2006 budget revenues and expenditure projections. He indicated that the overall budget should be very close to a break even with some expenditure overages in administrative accounts, Police Department Budget, and Fire Department Budget. Primarily the reason for the overages are dealing with utility, fuel and overtime costs in the Police Department and more wages are being charged to General Fund Administrative costs instead of utility budgets. The City Administrator will give a further update report in January.

Discuss Ordinance To Create Provisional Retail Liquor License-The City Administrator reported that State Statutes allows a municipality to create a Provisional Retail Liquor License similar to the Provisional Operator’s License. This would grant a temporary retail liquor license for a business wanting to sell beer, wine or liquor before the 15-day review period expires. The Provisional License would last for 60 days and the maximum charge is $15.00 per license. Following discussion, motion was made by Alderman Babcock, seconded by Alderman Jushka to have the City Attorney draft an ordinance creating a Provisional Retail Liquor License for the City.
