Downing reported that he had read in the paper that Common Council had withdrawn funds from Capital Budget requested by the Board of Public Works for the reason that the Board could not 'carry out the work. Mayor Conley replied that the Capital Budget had been set up to cover only the projects that the Council felt could be completed this year. Comm. Downing reported that he had.been investigating the Capital Projects for the last two or three years, amount appropriated and amounts expended. He brought out the fact that the balances indicated that projects were not being comlleted. Economists felt that when $100,000.00 of money was spent that this generated approximately $400,000.00 through purchases, sales, etc. He felt it was up to the Board to establish a policy with respect to this Capital Improvement authorization. He felt that what the Superintendent could have done should be done and what couldn't be done by city forces be contracted. He felt it was wise to spend the funds when needed in the community and every year that it goes by the cost goes up. He felt that even if the .cost of contracting the jobs went up ten percent the annual increase in cost of the''project would more than offset this. Comm. Putney reported that he felt the same way and has for a long time. He felt that every year the jobs that could not be handled by the department should be contracted out. Mayor Conley reported that the Finance Committee was trying to establish a six year Capital Improvements plan' and set a budgetary procedure each year as the time came closer to do the projects. Mayor Conley wanted to see as much work done by our own forces as possible but we should recognize that when we see that we cannot do the jobsweshould contract them out. Supt. Dingman felt that the Board should be cautious in establishing a positive policy until they become fully acquainted with the problem and the policy that they establish would be to the advantage to the city. Mayor Conley reported that the Federal Revenue Sharing was returning the policy making back to the city and furnishing the funds for it. This should help the city in establishing better capital projects. After much more discussion, By Comm. Downing: seconded by Comm. Putney Z� RESOLVED, That it is the policy of the Board of Public Wor s that all authorized Capital Improvements be carried out in the year that they re authorized wherever possible, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Supt. be authorized to determine which work will be done by his forces and which work will be contracted out, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Supt. report each year early enough so that the Board will have an understanding what the program will be. Carried 6 CAPITAL PROJECTS RESOLUTION: Comm. Parkes asked that the Capital Projects resolution be discussed in committee soon, effectuation of Council policy regarding capital projects. Comm. Downing felt that the Superintendent should prepare r' specifications and plans with respect to current expenditures as to how he is going to carry out the work, and then to ask the committee when this is available2j— to meet and disucss the methods which he proposes on the expenditures. Engineer Schlieder reported that lack of positive direction is one of his problems in his department. New projects should be divorced from regular projects. He felt that two things should be done. One is that a list be made of the regular housekeeping and maintenance for the year and the other one is that which should be planned for new development. Planning should be done a year in advance and not done by panic., Comm. Downing felt that if more help was needed we should proceed and pay for this. This would stop the delay -year after year. Alderman Nichols reported that at the March Council meeting they had requested bids be achieved by work not to be done by City forces, such as South Hill Playground, DeWitt Park and MacDaniels Park and after last nights Planning meeting the drawings are available for Conway Parka She hoped that one of the first things to be done under this newly implemented policy will be to get the bids on these parks. The chairman of the Capital Improvements Committee has requested the submission of projects to be considered in the 1974 capital budget and for the following 1,�.� r five year capital program. The Board may wish to determine which capital pro -(i jects it wishes to have the department prepare and submit. 4. BY COMM. DOWNING SECONDED BY COMM.
