CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 9, 1977
The City Council met in an adjourned regular session on March 9 at
7:30 p.m. in the Arcadia City Hall Conference Room.

ABSENT:
Council Members Gilb, Margett, Parry, Saelid, Lauber
None
The primary purpose of this meeting was to consider the Five-Year
Capital Improvement pro;ect Program as submitted by the City Manager.
In exploring the program it was explained that it is a general plan for
financial guidance and is not a commitment to spending. No authority
to spend exists until the annual budget incorporates the projects
planned for that particular fiscal year and thereafter each individual
project is returned to the Council for approval as the time is
reached when it appears appropriate to call for bids. By the pro-
vision of the City Charter the program must be adopted by March 31.
At the outset of the review Councilman Saelid submitted a suggestion...
to limit the capital improvement projects so the City could accumulate
a reserve in the Capital Improvement Account and at the end of the year
transfer that amount into the General Operating Budget for the following
year... in that way the City would not be dependent each year on what
happens at Santa Anita Race Track..... this would in essence cut down
the budgeted capital improvement items in any calendar year to no more
than perhaps half of the total anticipated capital revenues for that
year and at the end of the year take the reserve and move it into the
General Expense Fund for the following year.
Council considered each proposed project and the following action was
taken on some of the numbered items:
