UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 

#1.     RE:     Adopting a motion relating to Ordinance 3 of 2002, amending Salt Lake City Ordinance 32 of 2001, which adopted the Final Biennial Budget of Salt Lake City, including the employment staffing document, for Fiscal Years 2001-2002 and 2002-2003. (Budget Amendment #4).

 

ACTION: Councilmember Christensen moved and Councilmember Love seconded, to table and defer a decision until Tuesday, January 22, 2002, which motion carried, all members voted aye.

 

     DISCUSSION:  Councilmember Christensen asked when cost overruns for the Olympics would be known.  Mr. Sittner said he wanted to take responsibility for not asking other departments, specifically Public Services about cost overrun needs.    He said he would give a full detailed report on Tuesday, January 22, 2002.  He said departments had been tracking needs.  Mr. Fluhart said the more time that passed, the better the idea would be of expenditures.

 

     Mr. Sittner said approximately $34,000 had been budgeted for restoration of the turf at Washington Square.  He said there was a contingency fund of $250,000 which had not been used. Mr. Fluhart said damage from installation of the sprung structures and other elements were now being estimated much higher.  He said costs to restore the grounds were not yet known. 

 

     Councilmember Jergensen asked for an itemized use of funds for Tuesday, January 22, 2002.  Councilmember Love asked for a breakdown of where the funds were coming from and what the options were.
