<br />Report No. 80-1.21 <br />July 31, 1980 <br />REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL <br />LONG LAKE PARK DEVELOPMENT <br />• <br /> <br />As of this date the City has not received a response to <br />its Resolution inquiring of the County's intention to <br />develop and maintain the Long Lake/Rush Lake regional <br />park. In the meantime, enclosed for your analysis is <br />a staff critique of alternatives available to the City <br />with the expected cost implications. <br />My opinion is that the City can not support maintenance <br />and operation of the Long Lake/Rush Lake regional park, <br />either separated or combined, without a new revenue source <br />which does not rely on the General Fund. The only likely <br />new source of funds which I see would be the 4% utility <br />gross earning tax which is available to the City. This <br />tax would generate approximately $160,000 per year and <br />would be based on energy consumption. While I am not. <br />recommending the institution of this tax, it is a source <br />of funds available to you in the event you decide to <br />eventually take on operation and maintenance at the <br />local level. <br />Recommendation <br />That Council receive the attached report regarding <br />Long Lake Park, development, operation,and maintenance. <br />IL <br />Dennis S, ll <br />a, City Manager <br />Issued by City Manager
