IDR BONDS - CUB FOOD STORES •
Tom Thueson appeared before the Council to request setting a hearing date -
for the issuance of $5,500,000 in Industrial Revenue Bonds for the construction
of a new Cub Food Store. Mr. Thueson informed the Council that the financing
for the new store would be $5,500,000. The new store would be 28,000 square
feet larger than the existing store and would create 173 additional jobs.
Mr. Thueson also said that the IDR Bonds would make the project economically
feasible. Mr. Kriesel told the Council that the city had to give approval
for the bonds. However, these were not General Obligation Bonds and would
not be backed by the full faith and credit of the City.
On motion by Councilmember Bodlovick, seconded by Councilmember Avise,-a
resolution was introduced "RESOLUTION RELATING TO A PROJECT UNDER THE
MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT; CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING THEREON".

Mayor Peterson. Nays: None. Absent: Councilmember Kimble.
1984 BUDGET
Ms. Caruso explained the revised budget to the City Council. Ms. Caruso
said that the budget had been revised based on earlier discussion with the
Department Heads. The revised recommended General Fund ending balance
(12/31/84) was $412,318. This was a $120,076 improvement over 12/31/83.
Ms. Caruso also presented cash flow projections for 1984. The projections
indicated that the City would not have any borrowing needs in 1984 for
general operating expenditures because of surplus funds in the Debt Service
and Special Assessment Funds. Ms. Caruso said that the City would have to
monitor its cash flow very closely for 1985 because surplus Debt Service and
Special Assessment Funds may not be available during 1985.
Mr. Kriesel told the Council that there were two requests for additional
Capital Outlay items:
Public Works requested $2800 for a fork lift attachment and the
Parks Department requested $3500 for improvements to Meadowlark
Park.
The City Council asked Mr. Kriesel to have the respective Department Heads
to justify the requested increases.

On motion by Councilwoman Avise, seconded by Councilman MacDonald, the Council
moved to set the regular shift pay for part time firefighters at:
Engineer $ 6.50
Captain 7.00
Assistant Chief 7.50
All in favor.
PARKING METERS
Mr. Kriesel said that he had received a request for ten additional 10-hour
parking meters in the Auditorium Parking Lot (similar to last).
On motion by Councilmember Bodlovick, seconded by Councilmember Avise, the
Council moved to put in ten additional 10-hour parking meters in the Auditorium
Parking Lot from December 1, 1983 to May 1, 1984 and to allow free parking
in all metered areas from December 1, 1983 to January 2, 1984. All in favor.
TIME EXTENSION FOR WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION
Mr. Kriesel told the Council that a time extension would have to be obtained
from the Metro Council for the development of a Water Management Organization
for the planning and management of the Brown's Creek drainage area. Mr. Kriesel
said that a time extension would also be needed for the Middle River drainage
area.
The City of Bayport was requesting an extension on behalf of the Middle River
drainage area and Mr. Kriesel said that the City of Stillwater should request
an extension for the Brown's Creek communities.
