City Administrator Stephan Jilk discussed a recommendation received from

payments received in Julp. Jilk advised at the 1990 legislative session,
there was increased attention on cities' fund balances, and the
legislators' perception of "excessive" amounts on fund balances that are
unreserved and undesignated. Jilk reviewed the proposed amount to be
designated as working capital and advised these figures will be included in
the 1989 financial statements to be formallp presented to Council at a June
1990 Council Meeting. See Clerk' s File 1990-14.
