<br />FINANCE COMMITIEE REPORT <br /> <br />Councilwoman Dhieux stated that she was <br />concerned as to the spending of the Citys <br />money. She stated that she felt that <br />Council should designate a moritorium on <br />some of the spending, such as LURA, LHA, <br />Parks & Rec. and others. She also stated <br />that from listening to people they do <br />not want higher taxes, growth, or water <br />meters and she asked Council to take all <br />into consideration. She stated that she <br />felt it would be wise for Council to view <br />all pending bills and maybe discuss the <br />situation. Mr. Wurl stated that in the <br />past 10 days a memo was sent to all de- <br />partment heads stating the concern of the <br />finances and to be cautious of spending. <br />Councilman DiCarlo stated that he felt it <br />would be wise for the finance committee <br />to have a work session. Treasurer Hesson <br />scheduled a session for May 28, 1974. <br />Councilman DelPizzo stated that the people <br />in attendance should not get alarmed as <br />to the financial difficulty as it is <br />not like Lafayettes and we do not want <br />it to get that way. <br /> <br />Mr. Lundberg reported that LURA would <br />like to get Councils approval for LURA <br />and LHA with assisstance from Mr. Mel <br />Stephan to prepare a code enforcement <br />program on housing. This would be to <br />try to help keep the housing of the com- <br />munity in good shape. After discussion <br />Council stated for LURA to go ahead and <br />try to get some sort of code set up and <br />bring it back to Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Lundberg stated that he was informed <br />that they were to receive a grant in the <br />amount of $120,000.00 to be spent from <br />July 1, 1974 to December 31, 1974. LURA <br />needs to have the applications filled <br />out and there has to be a public hearing <br />on the matter. It must be completed by <br />June 30. Mr. Morris stated that the app- <br />lication does not have to be completely <br />finished as long as the application is in <br />process of being filled out. <br /> <br />Mr. Lundberg asked that Council be pre- <br />sent at the next LURA meeting which will <br />be May 15, and they could possibility <br />discuss what matters should be handled <br />'I;-lith the grant. <br /> <br />LURA REPORT <br /> <br />Mr. Lundberg stated that there is one <br />vacancy on the LURA Board due to Council- <br /> <br />3. <br />
