work.
Some quick researching has revealed that "esnergency monies" re not
available. The legislature in it's wisdom has seen fit to remove ergency
and disaster funding from the special levy limitations. They have one so far
as to �clude the statutes authorizing two year emergency certifica es. I
can only draw the conclusion at this time that there is no availabl procedure
of levying for such disaster monies. This is incredible, but true'
I have discussed this matter very thoroughly with Larry Shau hnessy and
we have come to the conclusion that the work is necessary irregardl ss, and
that existing unappropriated funds can be used for the payment of t e work. •
The some $30,000 of repair work is a"manageable amount" and will b affordable
through the use of the unappropriated general fund balance. I do i tend to
have a resolution available Monday night, that:
(1) Documents the need for emergency funds,
(2) Will authorize the use of unappropriated monies,
(3) Will direct that a plea be made to the Departsnent
� and the Legislature to reinstitute the process wh
emergency funds can be levied thru special levies.
In summary, the repairwork is of all urgent nature. There
available and the work should be commenced immediately.
