City Council Meeting Minutes September 15, 2015 Page 12 of 20 Council member Lipton commented on the document goals, subprograms, and contributing projects, which were incorporated into the document, but did not link to the budget. He asked if some comments or presentation could be provided at the next budget meeting. City Manager Fleming stated he would provide a table showing how the dollars from the traditional budget flow into the programs and subprograms area. However the two cannot be linked until the Central data system is fully implemented, which has a revised chart of accounts. Then the challenge will be on how to present the information in the traditional format to compare previous years' information. Council member Lipton noted the budget still contains the adoption of the 2015 International Building Codes, which Council agreed to postpone. He asked if the document was updated based on Council's discussion at the last budget retreat. City Manager Fleming stated the document has been revised and the International Building Codes will be removed. Council member Lipton stated there is citizen interest in street paving and the conditions of the City's streets. He requested more of a descriptive presentation on the budget requirements for upgrading the streets above and beyond what is proposed.

The original Agreement executed September 27, 2013, was for the sale of the Grain Elevator to LMS LLC for $200,000. The City provided $500,000 for stabilization of the grain elevator. There were several amendments to the Agreement. The Scope of Work is to be complete by October 31, 2015. With respect to the stabilization, $234,664.20 was requested, with a remaining balance of $265,338.80. Architect Erik Hartronft provided an update on the Louisville Historic Grain Elevator Stabilization Project. The project entailed five months of exploratory work. The south section of the structure was stabilized. The applicant filed for a State Historic Preservation Grant in October of 2014. After a seven month process the grant was denied. The project has work that could be incorporated into a new State Preservation Grant application. They are currently aggressively working to complete the stabilization project. By end of the first Phase, $400,000 will be spent in stabilization, out of the $500,000 grant. With the remaining $100,000 they propose to reconstruct the wagon
