Councilman Luce Aslced what methodology was used to determine thE~ amounts in the ordinance; are we trying to hit a percentage of the costs of the major thoroughfares? Adrninistrator Wurl advised that in the case of this ordinance the change is necessitated by the Agreement with Homart. The fee is being increased $450 as per that agreement. He further stated in conjunction with the Capital Improvements staff had hoped to develop some recommendations relating to thE~ funding of the Major Thoroughfare Fund for all time. This was presented to Council at the C.I.P. study session. What hasn't been done is projecting and fine tuning -ghat so there is a financing plan for the tonal package. Part of the reason that hasn't been done is in some of these major roads are extremely expensive, i.e. 96th 5t.. We need to review with Council whether that should be the responsibility of the Cii~y or if part of that should be broken oust and perhaps go for State funding. Councilman Luce commented that he under- stood the need to move forward in terms of our agreement with Homart. His con- cern was twofold - #1 that we get the fine-tuning done quick enough so that we can capture some of those growth revenues be_Eore it is already passed; and secondly it appears that for a variety of reasons we keep coming back and bumping up assorted revenue collection devices that we have. He felt that it would be advantageous to pull together a comprehensive package to be ab:Le to do that at least at the policy level. Adrninistrator Wurl concurred with Council- man Luce and stated they did not have all the facts and figures together. The 20 year program presented to Council on the Major Thoroughfare is all encompassing. Now Council needs to decide how much they feel legitimately the City should be respon- sible for and then recommend how that fund- ing would come about.
