Mr. Tobin also added that it was the intent of he and his board to <br />provide the City with a continuing payment in lieu of taxes on the property, so that the City would not lose <br />the full tax value of the land. Mr. Teague then observed that it appeared that although the City clients served <br />were only about 20% of his caseload this number did not match the level of support being requested from the <br />City. Vice-Mayor Crabtree then stated that he felt that the City was spending a reasonable amount for the <br />services provided our citizens. City Manager Reynolds then recommended the City' s support of the project <br />at the requested levels, and asked whether there was any flexibility in the payment approach the City could <br />take to provide its share, and was given several options available. Vice-Mayor Crabtree asked when <br />construction would start, and Mr. Tobin stated that construction should begin in September of 1998 and <br />finish within about twelve months. Mr. Reynolds then said that the actual amount needed from the City <br />might be $50,000 or less, as more favorable interest rates were probable, and that the City' s resolution of <br />support simply needed to state that the City would support up to $68,000 of the project in the following fiscal <br />year, 1999-2000.
